The Full Moon in Capricorn along with the Cancer Solstice occurred on 6/21/2024 @ 1 degree Capricorn Moon in opposition to 1 degree Cancer Sun.
The Full Moon Summer Solstice occurs at the very beginning of the Sun’s ingress to Cancer at 1 degree. As this is a Full Moon, at 1 degree Capricorn, it is a moment of climactic culmination within the emergence of a new beginning.
Cancer Sun and Capricorn Moon are Cardinal signs. These are dynamic points of manifestation. They stimulate and energize into action what needs to be done in order to carry out an intention.
To be aware of their potent influence inspires our understanding of what actions are needed in order to realize our goals.
The Cancer/Summer Solstice is when the path of the Sun in the sky is farthest north in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere the Sun is furthest South.
So for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere it’s the time when the days are longer and hotter due to the longer orbit of the Sun around the Northern Hemisphere.
While in the Southern Hemisphere when the days are shorter due to less Sun, their cooler Winter begins.
Astrologically all systems go as we embrace the Cancer/Capricorn dynamic in its opposition and Full Moon culminating phase.
In Cancer we have the nurturing nourishment of unconditional love. It’s the archetype of the mother, the feminine principle. In its vulnerability Cancer grows a hard shell to stay alive, stable and secure.
Whereas, in Capricorn we have the father, the masculine principle. The qualities of discipline, responsibility, perseverance and integrity.
Capricorn seeks to strengthen the bones of a structure. Its life affirming goal is to establish a healthy vibrant, flexible sturdy foundation that supports life.
Capricorn operates comfortably while moving into elevated positions in society. When all is well, they are fine upstanding citizens. All is well when integrity, ethics, morality and principles are intact.
Capricorn doesn’t operate thru vibes and intuition. Capricorn operates thru evidenced based truths. Capricorn understands that trust and respect are earned.
All is not well when any of those premises are violated via deception, duplicity, unjustness and crookery. Lack of ethics and morality corrodes the structures and systems that need to be held together in order to sustain a thriving just and ethical society for all. Without a genuine living commitment to integrity and justice, the system upon which it was built corrodes and falls apart.
*More about that in a later post on the Pluto Return of the U.S.A.
The Hermit is another Archetypal symbol of Capricorn. Capricorn’s need for solitude is an inherent component of its journey towards truth. To uphold the integrity of all things that supports a better life for all. The cool solitude that is cherished by Capricorn brings freedom where they are able to learn and grow.
Capricorn and its ruling planet Saturn points us towards our destiny thru the challenges and blockages we find ourselves in. When we are able to step back, breathe and reflect on our uninvited situations we can have insights about them. How did this happen? How did we end up here? The answers can come from within our deeper inner guidance to clarify that the challenges and detours serve as rerouting us towards better aligned opportunities for our lives. To set ourselves on the path we need to be on.
“ ‘Tis the gift to be simple, ‘tis the gift to be free, ‘tis the gift to come down where we ought to be ~ to turn, to turn, it would be a delight, ‘til by turning, turning we come out right.” -Joseph Beckett-
The Cancer/Capricorn dynamic works well together. The interconnecting relationship between the two archetypal dynamics of Mother Moon and Father Sun supports a nurturing well supported community.
Healthy structures built with integrity allows the Cancer need for stability, safety and security to be realized.
During the Solstice and the Full Moon cycle the Sun, Venus and Mercury were conjunct in Cancer. These influences supports an alignment between our emotions and our intellect. It imbues us with the ability to formulate what we need in order to establish the logistics that supports what we want. In Cancer that would be comfort, safety, security and well being.
The sextile that Mars in Taurus forms to the Sun, Venus and Mercury stellium adds the body, to the heart/mind equation of the Capricorn Full Moon/Cancer Solstice cycle.
Mars in Taurus sextile to the Sun/Venus/Mercury conjunction brings a need to balance our connection to the visceral material world.
Then Mars trines the Moon in Capricorn which completes this harmonious Cardinal moment of dynamic manifestation.
However Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces forms a square to the Sun, Venus, Mercury stellium. This Neptune square imbues a stressful component of friction to the mix. It inspires a need to question what it means to establish safety the need to question one’s world. Neptune in the last degree of Pisces serves to challenge our understanding of what exactly “one’s world” is. Neptune in its highest function of transcendent consciousness resonates with the evolutionary need to include the oneness of all. The fact that we are all one in our basic humanity and fragile mortality.
As we establish the places of safety within ourselves and in our lives we are reminded to be mindful and aware of the basic truth that when it comes down to it, we are all One. This means that choices must be made to establish safety, security and stability for all of us. Not just the few.
When Neptune functions in its higher octave all is well.This gets played out thru the ability to be humbled enough to surrender to a higher consciousness that contains forgiveness, compassion and mercy towards others.
There is also a quintile to the Moon which supports the desire to create order via a fascination with patterns and structures. This serves to point the way to move forward with a whole new outlook and understanding of how to be constructive rather than destructive.
We are living at a time when there is great potential to find solutions as we must in order to keep moving forward.
I would like to affirm with love and conscious awareness that indeed we are moving forward towards an evolving humanity.
As we continue to journey thru our lives it will be fascinating to see how this all gets played out.
Thru the signs ~
Aries ~ Finding yourself living in the heart of the material world, what with Mars, your ruling planet transiting thru Taurus. Perhaps even liking it on some level. For you this is both enjoyable and disconcerting. It makes you question the assertive energies of your sign. Time to come to terms with the reality of your bodily mundane needs with your deeper ravening for freedom. Not to worry, By mid July your fighting spirit returns, we all hope in a diplomatic way when Mars your ruling planet in Taurus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus. Meanwhile enjoy losing your mind so that you may drop down into your senses. Do not forget that Venus and Libra are your opposing partners in crime, so to speak. Since Taurus is Venus ruled. Therefore try to use your fearless assertive energies to establish the balance needed to create the life you desire to lead.
Taurus ~ Love and the need for stability, safety and security have taken on a new meaning for you recently. As your ruling planet Venus conjunct the Sun in Cancer inspires movement forward into a whole new cycle based on home, safety, security and nourishment. Becoming aware of what that means for you and using your mind to clearly take steps to manifest it. Your conscious understanding of yourself and your life continues to go thru radical shifts in order to open your cognitive understanding about your life from the perspective of more than just the world of matter,bodily concerns and even finances. But rather to embrace the element of spirit and the reality that we are all interconnected in one way or another. Love and peace is what you desire, it is what you are about . So focus on how your actions supports your life or not.
Gemini ~ Learning about love from the powerful Venus/Sun Cazimi that occurred with the New Moon in Cancer on June 6th. Learning to love unconditionally, to not expect anything in return but to care. Living from a newfound visceral comprehension that love is an energy that can neither be created nor destroyed. Of all answered curiosities this can prove to be the best knowledge of all.
Cancer ~ ✨🌞✨Happy Solar Return✨🌞✨A most auspicious Solar Return to you! The Venus cazimi to the Sun in your sign on the 6th of June starts you off right into your new year.

With the wind in your sails allow yourself to use this time as a way to strike the balance needed in order to maintain the security required for your well being.
Leo ~ Cancer season is a time of balance for you. The ruler of your sign being the Sun is at home with Cancer, whose ruler is the Moon. So take this time to assess what is working for you and is in alignment with your deepest needs. Then reflect on your wishes and desires and set your goals accordingly.
Virgo ~ A time of feeling energized to get things done. It would also be a good time to pay attention to your dreams as Neptune in its final phase of Pisces at 29 degrees opposes your Sun. Your dreams could have significant meanings with clues on how to proceed forward. The opposition to Saturn in Pisces has the potential to guide you towards understand what is blocking you. There is great knowledge in how to proceed forward thru these influences.
Libra ~ To be nurtured and to love unconditionally is what this moment offers you. At the same time there is a bit of a challenge as Venus, your ruling planet is in square aspect to Neptune. To know the difference between fantasy and reality is the key to glean the best out of this moment.
Scorpio ~ This is an expansive moment for you in terms of how you experience yourself and the world around you. This is the influence of your ruling planet Pluto Rx at 1 degree Aquarius in trine harmonious aspect to Jupiter in Gemini at 6 degrees. So enjoy the awareness of new ideas coming into your psyche. While at tbe same time clarify your current understanding of your life. See how relevant your way of thinking has been in relationship to your life now. Use this moment to illuminate how you want your life to be as you keep moving forward.
Sagittarius ~ There is a lovely balance to be found as Jupiter your ruling planet transits thru Gemini, your opposing sign. A real yin/yang moment as the curious Gemini occupies your mind with knowledge of small things. As Pluto Rx in Aquarius influences expansion of ideas and understanding thru transformation. This is a good time to chart an adventure that quells your magnified thirst for expansive experiences.
Capricorn ~ A comforting time as your ruling planet Saturn in Pisces trines Venus and Mercury in Cancer. This opposition to your sign of Venus conjunct Mercury in Cancer completes an equation of Father Sun to Mother Moon. This is an equation that inspires you to find balance between your private, inner life with your out there in the world life.
Aquarius ~ Lessons on creating a solid grounded life that supports stability. Saturn in Pisces inspires surrendering to your circumstances in order to learn and grow. This is a good moment for that. It’s this Cancer season which evokes the desire and need for safety and comfort while Uranus, one of your twofold ruling Planets, transits thru Taurus inspires you with the realization of what really matters. The key is to keep going and persevere. Look ahead while keeping your feet on the ground. Stay strongly connected to your intentions and follow thru every day. Even a small step is a large step as you are creating that which you consciously have set out to do all along. Be sure to just keep on going.
Pisces ~ This whole year ahead will be a letting go time of completion for you. This is because you are influenced by Neptune in its last degree of Pisces. It’s a sorting thru time as you are letting go of the powerful Neptune influence in your sign. There is a sense of mastery of things with Neptune at 29 degrees. Neptune when functioning in its higher octave inspires compassion, forgiveness and surrender. To know what it is to swim in the ocean of cosmic consciousness while staying fully anchored in visceral reality. In the season of Cancer it begins with home. So let that be your focus as you may be already feeling the early stirrings of Neptune preparing to be birthed in Aries. Opening the door to the journey of the Spiritual Warrior. In moments of shifting energies be mindful of your health, and perhaps breath work, meditation or yoga practice would greatly benefit you at his time.
So there it is. I hope it’s helpful, inspiring and uplifting.
