The summer solstice has passed, and the zodiac is now in Cancer season. This month’s full moon falls in the opposite sign, Capricorn, a sign associated with diligence, hard work, and determination. This alignment creates an opportunity to focus on long-term goals and clear away obstacles.
The full moon will reach its peak on Monday, June 29, at 7:56 p.m. EDT. Capricorn is represented by the Seagoat, a creature that can swim to depths for wisdom and climb to heights for success. Full moons are times of culmination and release, so this lunation is about letting go of things that block the path to success.
This is a moment to create growth through structure and tangible steps. It may also require letting go of existing structures that no longer work. Mars moves into Gemini the day before the full moon, which will increase energy. At the same time, the sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are in Cancer, asking for a balance between bold decisions and emotional security.
The key word for this full moon is focus. It is a time to concentrate on goals, remove distractions, and take steps in the right direction.
One ritual to work with this full moon is to meditate outside. Since Capricorn is an Earth sign, connecting with nature can be helpful. A long walk, meditation under a tree, or earthing can be effective. Ask the Earth to take away baggage and stay open to any intuitive insights.
Another ritual is to take a dip in a natural body of water. Summer is here, and water can cleanse negative emotions and old wounds. Working with water is especially powerful during Cancer season. Imagine the water cleansing the body, mind, and spirit. If a natural body of water is not available, a spiritual bath at home can work.
A third ritual is to pull a tarot spread. Consulting tarot cards can help answer questions about what this full moon means. A four-card spread can include questions about what has been building since the new moon two weeks ago, what is being released under this full moon, where more discipline is needed, and what the focus is for the summer season.
Capricorn does not accept failure when it comes to completing projects and reaching success. Under this full moon, staying focused, believing in oneself, and taking the right action can lead to progress.
