A FULL MOON happens on JUNE 22, 2024 (9:07 AM, Philippine Time), at exactly 1°07′ minutes in the realm of cardinal fearth, CAPRICORN, the sign of authority.
The Full Moon ushers in a time of culmination and intense emotions. As the Moon reaches its peak, fully illuminated by the Sun, it brings hidden feelings to the surface, amplifying our emotional experiences! This phase serves as a reflective mirror, dear reader, highlighting the results of efforts started at the New Moon. It’s a moment of realization and closure, often marked by significant, sometimes dramatic, revelations!
It’s time for Luna to reach her fullness again, dear reader! This time, she displays her illuminated splendor in the somber, serious kingdom of cardinal earth, Capricorn, the sign of authority. Traditional astrology sees the Moon debilitated here, as she struggles in this terrain full of rules and restrictions. While this detriment may pose challenges, it does not diminish this lunation’s ability to further intensify already heightened emotions. However, it’s important to recognize that Capricorn, the sign that signals the beginning of winter, imparts a certain coldness in expression, filtering the warmth of affection.
Under the light of this Full Moon, our emotional expressions become calculated and measured. A deep sense of duty permeates our experiences, making us appear distant and disinterested, regardless of the deep longings and emotional storms we may hide under a rigid facade.
Culminations and completions characterize Full Moons, and this one is no exception, dear reader. Wherever this lands in our charts is the area of our lives where we feel compelled to finish a task and race to the finish line! However, we do so diligently, tying up loose ends along the way, leaving no stone unturned, no matter how tedious it may be. This is essential for moving forward with the kind of confidence that only comes from having no regrets and no ‘what ifs’.
This lunation engages in conversations with two other planets, VENUS and NEPTUNE, adding textured layers to the experience. As always, let’s dive deeper into these energy exchanges:
Luna, in her Full form in somber Capricorn, interacts with Venus, the planet of love, money, and beauty. This connection is called an opposition, where these two planets are opposite each other in the sky, making this kind of conversation the loudest of all planetary aspects. Within the week following this lunation, we are likely to wrestle with the need to splurge on things we love and enjoy on one hand, and the strength to look away and face practicality instead, on the other.
We are inclined to favor what is pragmatic, yes, but it doesn’t take away from feelings of loss, disappointment, or lack, at least in the meantime. This creates an atmosphere of tension that almost resembles resentment, as we strive to choose obligation and virtue, over short-term gratification.
At the end of this period, it helps to know that happiness is determined by the ability to proudly look at ourselves in the mirror, eye to eye, without shame, because we know we did the right thing, no matter how difficult the trade-off is.
The Moon also exchanges tense conversations with Neptune, the planet of idealism, illusions, and delusions. This conversation is more muted than the other, more of a background hum than a heated centerstage debate. Neptune plays devil’s advocate under this lunation, making decision-making a bit more complex.
Under this Neptunian fog, we question what is feasible, possibly tangible, and what is fully illusory. We may struggle to see facts as facts, and if we lack the necessary presence of mind, we may easily slip into energetic slides that deliver us to pools of fake news and propaganda. Logic, rationality, and objectivity are tools we need to bring on this journey; without these, we are likely to fail in exercising intelligent discernment.
As we navigate the energies of this Full Moon, embracing the lessons and challenges it brings can lead to profound personal growth. The conversations between Luna, Venus, and Neptune urge us to use practicality to balance our dreams and desires, pushing us to find a middle ground that honors both our responsibilities and aspirations. Delayed Gratification is a lesson we need to learn, and it may not come easy.
For now, it’s important to welcome the tension with open arms, dear reader; it is part of the landscape! Instead of feeling frustrated about being unable to immediately indulge in your interests, empower yourself by owning your decisions! Understanding that ‘these concessions are made voluntarily’ gives you back your power—after all, these are offerings, not deprivations!
Allow this energy to guide you toward decisions that reflect your highest values and deepest truths, dear reader, for in doing so, you find meaning and fulfillment. Once you put this mindset in place, you experience less irritation, reluctance, and resentment! Instead, you move forward with a sharper sense of clarity and purpose, ready to embrace the future with strong confidence, meaningful joy, and gentle grace. ❤
