1 Cancer 7 / 1 Capricorn 7

June’s Capricorn Full Moon begins a two-step process of culmination. The first step is stirring issues that complicate feeling safe and secure. The second stage will bring some understanding of them, if not solidity as well.

The two parts come from this Full Moon taking place at the beginning of Capricorn – followed by a second Full Moon at the last degree of the sign in July.

Both Capricorn Full Moons are lighting up the sign’s dichotomy with the opposite sign of Cancer. This axis pits nurturing against providing and nesting against worldly striving. It raises questions of “Who’s the Mommy?” and “Who’s the Daddy?.” with the occasional blurting of “I want to be the baby!”

In this configuration, the seat of emotions, the Moon, is anything but soft and sweet. It’s hard-edged, often cold or calculating, with an eye on status or report cards or achievement and material security instead of hugs, security blankets and cookies. So this Full Moon has us looking at how stable and secure we feel.

In this first phase of that examination, the usually logical end of a Full Moon equation, the Sun, is especially hypersensitive and emotive. (It won’t be this raw in the next go-round.) That’s because it’s conjunct Venus and Mercury, beaming issues of nurturing, connections and communicating into the Moon.

We might be thinking about those issues more than we’re feeling them. Likely we’re measuring an intellectual construct of cozy, happy home and family (even if chosen) against a reality that is less than emotionally fulfilling.

That construct may have an element of fantasy or having fooled ourselves. The Moon’s out-of-sign square to Neptune is forcing out illusion, popping bubbles and parting fog. Neptune is parked at peak Pisces, the last degree of the sign and the zodiac. The square to him is eroding goals and situations that might have previously seemed rock solid. (The second phase will consolidate and firm some up.)

Adjustments in thinking are in order. The Moon is inconjunct Jupiter, early in his trip through Gemini, encouraging lightening up, exploring options and looking for security from many directions. (A surge in chosen families is imminent!)

Changing things up is an easy way out of an undercurrent of discomfort. The Moon’s semisextile to Pluto is needling us with reminders that old ways aren’t going to cut it in the emerging world. If you’ve focused on work, work, work expecting certain rewards and they don’t come through…this combo is arguing for revising those goals, and revising how you define emotional security. Maybe add a little fun to the equation?

You’ve got the incentive and ability to do something about your situation. Action hero Mars is trine the Moon, easily and efficiently working to pad your tangible security and well-being. (Snacks may be involved.) Interestingly, he will be in the same aspect with the Moon during phase two in July; dots may well connect between this Moon’s practical impact and what is coming.

Openings are all around for connections and conversations that sustain you. Mars is sextile the Venus/Mercury conjunction (exactly sextile Mercury, at that). Reach out; speak up; give and receive hugs. (And again, snacks may be involved). Warming up that Moon could be that simple. Try a little tenderness, and you won’t feel so out in the cold.

And know that there’s more to come, in July.
