Back to the Full Moon...
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart:
- The Sun in Cancer aligns with Venus & Mercury and quincunxes Pluto in Aquarius
- Mercury in Cancer squares the Moon Nodes in Aries-Libra and sextiles Mars in Taurus
- The Moon in Capricorn opposes all the planets currently residing in Cancer (Sun, Venus & Mercury)
- The Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer both square an exalted Neptune in the last degree of Pisces
- Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) in almost 19.5º Pisces starts its Station phase the day after the Full Moon becomes exact, in preparation to start its yearly Retrograde phase (which will last: June 29th until Nov. 15th) More details about Saturn in a moment…
Neptune in Pisces is exalted for several reasons:
1) it is in its own sign, 2) it is in a heightened degree (29º), the last degree of Pisces, and 3) it just started its Station phase on June 18th, preparing for its yearly Retrograde (just like Saturn).
Something is "in our face" concerning the feminine energies (such as allowing, resting, sensing, intuiting, and feeling into the flow of things, etc.) -- and all of this plays an essential role for the next two weeks, so tune in!
We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the connection we have to our feelings and emotional needs, plus our ability to feel emotionally connected to others (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals out there in the world (Capricorn).
As best as you can, steer by your own inner compass and bring your caring self to the world in a spirit of integrity and responsibility -- and keep in mind that as we heal our past, we become a source of light and support for others.
Ask yourself: What would self-responsible self-care look like? How does my inner life inform my outer? What are my priorities? What am I ready to talk about or share from my past — in a vulnerable way? Can I honor my feelings and see them as valid?
