The Full Moon takes place at 06°and 28’ of the Sign of Capricorn. It strongly affects Capricorn and Cancer Signs and also Aries and Libra Signs which are born in the first decan, as well as those having personal planets, points or their Ascendant, near the 04° -08° degrees of the Cardinal Cross.
A Full Moon occurs on the 28th of June at the Sign of Capricorn.
This is the last full moon before the eclipses period that starts on the 13th of July when the new moon will be a Solar Eclipse. After this first eclipse two more will follow, one Lunar and again one Solar, making us trudge through A Long Hot Summer.
The upcoming eclipses period is presenting many astrological challenges and gradually reaches a climax in rising tension.
In a sense, ironical, paradoxical or cosmic, the Full Moon in Capricorn, that happens right before the eclipses period, can be seen as an alert, as a last call to discipline and mature expression of the self, qualities that are required so as we better navigate through the demanding eclipses’ landscape.
Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 1
There is a famous line in Shakespeare as Macbeth, firmly resolved and on his way to kill King Duncan, hears the sound of the castle bell in the night and says as if speaking to his victim:
“I go, and it is done. The bell invites me.
Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell, which summons thee to heaven or to hell”.
The June 2018 Full Moon in Capricorn is having the same sombre and serious mood as the bell that Macbeth hears. The bell knells and depending on our reactions our path will be more or less difficult.
Every Full Moon in Capricorn brings a culmination on issues relating to the two Signs where the Sun and the Moon are placed.
Sun in Cancer is the provider of nutrition, is caring, and wants to attend to one’s emotions. We are tender and soft.
Moon in Capricorn needs acknowledgement through accomplishments. Emotions, with Moon in Capricorn, are kept reserved, since the practicalities necessary for the achievement of a goal, are more important to unnecessary and humdrum sentimental drama.
This archetypal conflict can be felt in various aspects of our everyday lives. Professional advancement versus time with the family, emotional tenderness versus coldness and alienation in relationships, worldly status versus inner comfort.
With this specific Full Moon in Capricorn there is an additional weight that fells on the Moon.
Saturn is making a tight conjunction with the Moon and at the same time is Moon’s dispositor planet. This double Saturnian influence on the Moon is the sombre bell that is heard.
Let’s hear carefully, because this Full Moon is taking us to one of two paths:
- One path leads to emotional pressure and disappointments out of our inability to cope with professional or relationship demands. It brings emotional detachment, coldness and unexpressed emotions. It is ambition for success irresponsible to others needs. – This path is the dark night of the soul.
- The other path leads to integrity and maturity. It requires patience and hard work, especially relating to how we respond to the emotional needs of beloved others. It is building protection boundaries for ourselves and the family and caring for others first. – This path is ambition supported by meaningful relationships.
Is it easy to move along the second path?
Saturn is retrograde. We can use its introspective affect to better set our boundaries against external pressures. Or to understand where we need to relax and let go with the flow of things instead of trying to organize and control everything.
The Moon is making a trine with Uranus and this can give us the necessary excitement to deflect gloominess. Anything new or unusual is welcomed.
More importantly Saturn, the main player in this “Preamble” of the eclipses’ long hot summer, is also in a trine aspect to Uranus.
This means that we can manage sudden or unexpected events and conduct the necessary changes so as to smoothly integrate them to existing our structures.
So, the answer to the question posed is: It may not be easy, but it can be done!
Under this Full Moon in Capricorn we must hear our inner bell and become wise.
It is a test, a preparatory arena for building character and patience so as we can safely move onward through the eclipses period.
This Full Moon in Capricorn is a call for calculated decisions and disciplined emotions.
This may bring an initial gloominess, but out of the test, something positive will surely come.
I wish to everyone a fulfilling Full Moon.
