Hello Good Humans!
The Full Moon occurs at 1° Capricorn on Friday June 21, 2024 at 9:07pm in New York. It is the Strawberry Moon. The aspects are a challenging square to worrisome Neptune and an itchy semi-sextile to dark Pluto. Fortunately, Neptune and Pluto will be in a growth sextile bringing cooperation of both planets. The Full Moon happens when the Sun and Moon are 180° apart, exactly opposite. The full Moon lasts for the two weeks preceding the new Moon. It is the time to present completed projects to the public and receive feedback. During the full Moon cycle we have to balance home and family with career, what we want with what we need internally and externally. So, let’s use our intuitive instincts to inspire action in our projects, plans and dreams. This Full Moon happens on the first day of the Summer Solstice and is the first of two Full Moons in Capricorn.
WHAT’S IN THE SHADOWS?
The Full Moon square Neptune brings out the difficult side of both these usually intuitive and sensitive astral bodies. Add the semi-sextile to Pluto and we have a shadowy mix of murk and muck. The paranoid and confused side of Neptune will be active. Issues of neglect, victimization, lies and hidden agendas will surface. It will be good to have a safe place and keep away from dangerous locations. Women may be targeted and domestic violence will be triggered. Neptune also rules infections and hidden identities, a hot topic here politically with the debate of banning masks and possible health repercussions. Distortion of the truth and instilling fear and trepidation has always been a political tool. I’m sure we’ll see some fervent slinging of mud. Neptune also rules drugs and alcohol. Under these conditions there is an over sensitivity to both. Even prescribed and over the counter drugs can have more punch than usual. Be careful in and around water.
Pluto is the Lord of the Underworld. The Full Moon heightens our intuition and emotions. These two energies in an itchy semi-sextile can bring up uncertainties about what’s lurking in the shadows of the subconscious mind. This can range from seeing clearly and intuitively what is psychologically or spiritually behind thoughts, word and actions to paranoia or confusion behind those same thoughts, words and actions. It is important to discern facts from feelings. If you’re inclined to go to the negative, you will. If you’re inclined to go to the positive, you will. The key is to be accountable for that and to also consider the opposite to bring light to the shadows. Everyone has a shadow side. It’s just important to recognize when it’s active. Facing our shadow side, accepting it and giving it a healthy outlet can take some skill. Meditation, psychology and soul awareness methods can bring to light wounds that need to heal. We may not want to go there but it is a part of the healing process. Have compassion for yourself and others that are in this process. Holistic healing requires recognition of both the seen and unseen forces that affect the soul and how these effect the mind and body. There are answers in the shadows. We must tune in and listen.
Neptune sextile Pluto is great for putting the political, religious, race egos aside to bring about compassionate transformations in the consciousness of the human condition, environmental issues and the general health of Earth and all living things on it. The current challenges faced can bring change for the better. Something good can come from something bad. This Full Moon can be a call to action that can usher in positive regeneration and compassionate support for the One World Organism we are.
