Let us rejoice in the abundance of light as we celebrate the full moon in Capricorn a mere day after the solstice! For us Northern Hemisphere dwellers, yesterday was the longest day of sunlight of the year. The Sun reached its peak and now begins its waning half of the year as it slowly loses light each day until our winter solstice in December. For my southern hemisphere friends, yesterday’s solstice marked the birth of the sun.
The June solstice marks the sun’s entry into the cardinal water sign of Cancer, a sign that reminds us to feel and embody our emotions as they are one of our main informational centers. The sign of Cancer is ruled by the moon and reminds us of the importance of roots, security, nurturing and protecting who and what is important to us.
I love that Cancer is the beginning of summer for us in the north as Cancer reminds us of the importance of family. Summer is a time when most of us get an opportunity to step away from our usual routines and spend quality time on a vacation, family reunion or other get together with our cherished loved ones, our families. Be present and gracious with the time you get to spend with those you love, for those moments are the full moon moments of life.
Today we have the moon at full illumination with the moon reaching fullness at 1° Capricorn at 6:07 p.m. (Friday, June 21).
It’s a potent full moon as we’ve just had the day of the year with the most sunlight, and now the moon is at its brightest. We are receiving a showering of light from both our planetary lights. Interestingly, at the very end of this Cancer season, we will have a second full moon in Capricorn on July 21. Though many identify a “blue moon” as the second full moon in the same calendar month, I consider two full moons in the same sign a true astrological blue moon. But semantics aside, this tells us that there is an abundance of Cancer/Capricorn creation energy as we move into summer.
The full moon is about the culmination of building a form that starts at the new moon, the beginning of the cycle. A full moon in Capricorn is about the structures and forms we have built, what we have physically brought into being. It’s a good time to review what your first half of the year has been like and what you have created. Consider what was seeded at the winter solstice and how that has come to fruition now.
As the moon then begins to wane after tonight’s full moon, we consciously analyze and integrate the lessons of this new structure and determine what we will keep and what we will recycle from the cycle. I love that with the new moon in Cancer on July 5, we have an opportunity to begin again, culminating in another Capricorn full moon of manifesting into reality a new structure to support and sustain us.
Neptune sits midway between the sun and the moon in a square position. Entertain your hopes and dreams but bring them down to earth on both a physical and emotional level.
The light is shining brightly both from the sun and the moon. Let that illumination light up your goals while considering what you need emotionally to be secure, safe and happy. What are your goals for the summer months?
