Dear Astro~News Reader, in the Cosmic-Human Family!
The first FULL MOON of SUMMER 2021 is here to bless us – tomorrow June 24.
In CAPRICORN – as the SUN is now in CANCER.
Well, that’s sometimes ‘tough love’… and a few things to process, compliments MOON – PLUTO. I’ll get to that (and we feel it…).
Next ones – 3 more this Summer, 4 altogether:
- Fri / Sat July 23 / 24, on the cusp of AQ – LEO
- Sun Aug 22, at the very end of AQ – LEO – ‘Blue AQ – LEO Full Moon’ on the ‘Sphinx Point’
- Mon Sept 20, at the end of PI – VIR – just 2 days before Fall Equinox – the Harvest Moon
Happy Strawberry & Rose Moon of June!
So many beautiful flowers in full bloom now, incl. Wild Roses and cultivated Roses. Time to smell the Roses, and take their Heart Medicine in.

You might already know…
Native Americans and other traditions around the World gave names to the Full Moons of the year. Each Nation / culture has given the Full Moons of the month different names, according to what that month brings and requires.
So many names, so much diversity… directed by Nature.
What does this FULL MOON mean to YOU?
And even more so, how does it MOVE YOU?
I invite you to follow the trail into the Heart of Astro~News, to find its gifts and Medicine through the read, and even more so: in your HEART!
The first Full Moon in Summer comes with a double CAP – CAN theme:
MOON in early CAP opposing SUN in early CAN.
VENUS in late CAN opposing PLUTO retro in late CAP.
Early CAP / CAN has a double CAP / CAN undertone, late CAP has a VIR, late CAN a PI undertone.
I posted the Full Moon chart below – can you see the two polarities?
Themes of care, compassion, kindness, sensitivity, belonging, home & welcoming, children & family (CANCER)
vs. / and (Full Moon polarity axis)
Infrastructure, resources, building, big business / corporations, governments, bosses, rules, laws (CAP)
...show up big time, to come to fruition / harvest (Full MOON) now.
Even more so, as grand JUPITER in early PISCES (with CANCER undertone) is a stationary focal point now, as it just turned retro on Summer Solstice. The Big One is showing us where ‘in the family’ (in all senses) resonance, ease, and good vibrations are – and where they just aren’t, and it’s time to let go and bless rather than play the Piscean victim – perpetrator – saviour game.
MERCURY in GEM has JUST come out of retro on June 22.
This one (in square with NEPTUNE in PI) has been one of the weirdest, wildest in a looong time.
Besides all the mental / communicative havoc and bizarre labyrinths and rabbit holes we might have experienced, it showed us a lot about old thought patterns.
Would be great to RE-view now, in the out-flying ‘storm’ until end of June, and supported by Grandmother MOON.
Dec 25 / 26, 2019 Ring of Fire Eclipse Connection
Guess what?
The CAP – CAN Full Moon reconnects with the ‘Ring of Fire’ Annular Solar Eclipse on Dec 25 / 26, 2019 – also at 4° CAP!
Can’t ignore the sign that something major in the worlds of CAP comes to fruition now, connected to the seeds that were planted with that epic exact Christmas New Moon.
Out of the Old Paradigm. Into New Ways of Being
…was the motto I felt called to give to that ASE.
The blog post for the ASE on Dec 25 / 26, 2019 could be worth (re)reading, in retrospect and for integration and context about where we’re at now.
What a year and a half since Dec 2019!
Massive endeavours, infrastructural, societal and esp: HUMAN impacts in 2020. Massive shadow revelation.
SATURN, PLUTO, and JUPITER all aligned in CAP in 2020.
A historic year with long term consequences.
We’ve seen those also in the two CANCER countries of Canada (July 1, 1867) and U.S. (July 4, 1776) – with their leaders and governments (CAP) – in dire need of / undergoing massive transformation (PLUTO).
Lots of authority issues in both countries are on the table.
What’s with respecting the Earth, Nature, Natural Law, Elders and Indigenous Cultures?!
All of these are / would be expressions of a healthy CAP ‘culture’.
More layers of major systemic violations of human rights in the name of entitled authority have been shockingly revealed just even lately.
And then there’s the capitalist-colonial supremacy (CAP shadow) of disregard for Nature, esp. the last Ancient Forests.
Themes of authority – the polarity of SOLAR creative, radiant authority (Summer Solstice SUN in early CANCER) vs. / AND the earned and experienced authority of the Elder, represented by Grandmother MOON in early CAP (Winter Solstice) are now UP, with the CAP – CAN Full Moon, and VENUS – PLUTO also in CAN – CAP (more about that below).
- Have you experienced Authority issues / conflicts, in the build-up to the Full Moon?
- Have you projected one side or the other onto ‘the other’ and gone into outer / inner confrontation?
- Have you on the other hand been supported by natural experienced & true lived authority by respected Elders (incl. Spirit Elders), and Good People, or: shown up as one of them (CAP) – with the effect of naturally feeling warmly welcome and inspired (CAN)?
- How are both sides already IN you, just waiting to be reconciled?
- What needs to be balanced in this dynamic, so that the two sides that need each other can be complementary, and create a well-rounded Natural, Organic Authority?
- How can this turn into / show up as Soul Fulfilling Purpose?
Not an ‘easy’ MOON Scape…. you probably feel it…
Given the direction of the MOON towards PLUTO retro in CAP (their alignment will be exact / LUNA will pass PLUTO on Sat June 26 at 12:36 am PDT).
There are so many old and internal layers & sediments when it comes to internalized hierarchical / established power structures. Inner ‘archaeology’ needed – and rewarded.
It can be full-filling – on a deeper level, to connect with Elders and Ancestors, help complete old contracts, transform old contractions and conditioning, and heal in the NEW and NOW (CHIRON in ARIES is in wide – and building T-square with the Full Moon axis!).
In CAP, the MOON is in ‘exile’ – furthest away from its CANCERian ‘home’ with its warm, cozy and caring qualities, in safe momma-babe connection.
- Feeling rather ‘cold and wintry’ – at the onset of Summer?
- Making sure resources are in place?
- Managing scarcity and fears?
- Being sustained / providing feels like an effort?
- Can you channel the caring into taking care of important ‘business’ that has priority?
If these themes come up for you, it’s time to take a look at old ancestral and societal conditioning and contractions around that.
I.o.w., with the MOON approaching PLUTO retro in CAP – an inquiry could be (take your time and do this at home):
- What does the inner / old authority say to the need to be safe, cared for, and caring?
- What were historic (PLUTO in CAP) traumas and hardship that your biological ancestors, Spirit Elders, or your inner karmic journey went through?
- How can you honour and acknowledge them?
- How can the experience find completion in YOU, rather than unconsciously self-sabotaging (also a theme with PLUTO retro), out of ‘soul loyalty’, or even guilt for having ‘a better life’ than your Elders and Ancestors?
- What helps in the deep transformation through time, and from your inner true Soul Nature (PLUTO retro in CAP)?
And there’s also VENUS (end of CAN) involved – She opposed PLUTO end of CAP today June 23.
What’s with the healing quality of the Power of Love (esp. when the Love of Power seems to be up)?
How about creating a felt-sense Family / Ancestry mini-constellation (with placeholders from and IN Nature, like rocks, flowers, twigs…) as a Full Moon Ceremony, and seeing how it moves in you?
The Full MOON approaching PLUTO retro in CAP ushers Transformation in
Loving how the Transformation Card ‘The MOON’ can guide and inspire us in this:
- What is your purpose and role in Evolution?
- What transforms the old hierarchical / patriarchal structures of domination, subordination, separation?
- Forming a chain and a circle (AQ where SATURN, ruler of CAP is now) of sisters and brothers in equality and cooperation beyond old hierarchies and separations IS building the NEW.
A ‘serious MOON business’ as it seems.
An important Full MOON.
Soul-Full-Filling Completion.
The Full Moon in CAP, ruled by SATURN links to a theme that we’ll see continuing throughout the year, both themes just activated in June:
The triple square from SATURN in AQ with URANUS in TAU in 2021 (Feb 17, June 14 – with SATURN retro -, and Dec 23):
A conflict between old (order) and new (chaos, awakening).
Plus, ‘Wounded Healer’ / Medicine Bringer CHIRON in early ARIES squares the Full Moon axis!
With that, the triple sextile from SATURN in AQ with CHIRON in ARIES in 2021 (Feb 9, June 23 – with SATURN retro -, and Nov 26) gets activated by the Full MOON.
What are the prime wounds of society & various systems, and what’s the New Medicine to meet them?
It’s time to acknowledge early (ARIES) / passed-on / wounding ‘conditions’ and conditioning in society (SATURN in AQ), and be compassionate with ourselves and others (CAN).
CHIRON in ARIES brings healing and teaches us through the Medicine of emerging from the old, and being authentic in the NEW and NOW.
What are your Main Themes in this?
It isn’t comfortable, but important to acknowledge what’s there, and has perhaps been building up for a very long time and throughout society (MOON & PLUTO retro in CAP – SATURN retro in AQ).
Which can lead to an inner sense of completion – otherwise it goes in circles (the shadow of CAP is it’s never complete, always more to work on – late CAP has a VIRGO undertone).
Maybe it’s about completion as in: good enough for here-now.
Knowing we / they show up the best way we / they can, with what we / they are dealing with – nobody’s perfect.
That’s where conscious SoUlar CANCERian (self)compassion and VENUSian loving kindness come in.
And on deeper levels, it’s true, certain ‘conditions’ can’t be completed…. they have ‘a life of their own’ – and come to a natural evolutionary ‘re-purposing’ transformation in their own time.
Nothing ever really ‘dies’, it just changes form – says PLUTO.
Acknowledgement is a prerequisite for ‘completion’ (so CAP).
And acceptance of a natural imperfection, impermanence and continuum takes us deeper into Living from Soul (as represented by PLUTO in CAP – which the MOON will meet on June 26).
I felt called to bring in the
Sabian Symbol
for the Zodiac degree of the FULL MOON (3°27′ CAP)
“CAPRICORN 4°
A GROUP OF PEOPLE OUTFITTING A LARGE CANOE AT THE START OF A JOURNEY BY WATER
Pulling Together Canoe Journey 2017
KEYNOTE: The ability to use natural resources and basic skills in order to achieve a group-purpose.
As this scene was recorded in the original version only in imprecise terms, it seems merely to indicate the start of a journey undertaken by a cohesive group of people, who perhaps together have built this large canoe.
Thus we see here a common enterprise which may be an answer to the need for a change of locality. A social group more strongly than ever reveals its homogeneity and common will when it decides to move away from its familiar habitat. The zodiacal sign Capricorn brings this common will to a focus in concrete actions. It does so in terms of socio-political expediency and under a definite type of executive direction, even though the decisions are arrived at by common consent.
As this is the fourth symbol in the fifty-fifth five-fold sequence, we find in it a hint of how to do something concrete. The “canoe” may also have a special technical meaning, as it uses water in order to move.
A common feeling-response to a specific situation may be implied.
The main emphasis is nevertheless on GROUP-ACTIVITY in circumstances implying a need for change.”
This Sabian Symbol brings together the CAP side of resourcing, and the CANCER side of a sea journey of a comMOONity of people. Even the theme of the Transformation Card The Moon is reflected here – together with our Spirit Brothers & Sisters we pull together into / AS the New Human Family.
The ‘familiar habitat’ in the Sabian Symbol may be literally geographic, or energetic / dimensional:
From a place of density / polarity / separation to fluidity / unity / connectedness.
JUPITER in PISCES uniting with NEPTUNE in Apr 2022 helps with this.
This grand union is of course already accessible when / as we transcend (in PISCEAN fashion) the confines and conditioning of time-space.
Speaking of Sea Journeys:
The sign CANCER also involves the constellation of Argo Navis – the boat of Jason and the Argonauts in Greek Mythology
And a la CANCER (and lots of retro energy to come over the Summer) – sometimes we need to pull back to move forward.
Let’s take a look at the FULL MOON Chart
The culmination of the Full Moon will be 11:40 am PDT on Thu June 24.
It illustrates the themes described above…
See the polarity / opposition of SUN and MOON and also of VENUS and PLUTO?
Framing CAN and CAP symmetrically at 3-4 degrees at the beginning and end of the signs.
CHIRON stationary (going retro on July 15) is on the apex of a wide T-square with the Full Moon axis, calls for
Healing of the wounds of war, aggression, life as a battleground, and:
Healing through authenticity, new beginnings, and: Presence.
Also in the Full Moon ‘Boat’ (just happened / about to shift):
How does the CAP – CAN Full MOON and Her connection with PLUTO in CAP show up for you?
Do the themes above sound familiar?
What are you processing (MOON approaching PLUTO retro) about the ‘things of old’?
Esp. if your birthday is
end of June (early CAN),
end of December (early CAP),
end of March (early ARIES),
or end of Sept (early LIBRA)?
Or you might have your MOON, AC, or Planets in the early degrees of these cardinal signs (check out your chart, or let’s take a look together).
Then a lot of this is probably UP for you now / these days / months, and might culminate with the FULL MOON.
Important Questions with the CAP Full Moon
- How can your basic-and-beyond needs be met, and your life be sustainable, in the context of the structures you’re living in?
- Time for foundational changes (which may just ‘organically happen’), esp. in the areas of life relating to CAP / CAN in your chart, e.g.
1st – 7th House: Self & Relationships,
2nd – 8th House: Owning & Sharing,
3rd – 9th House: Social / Local Environment & World at large,
4th – 10th House: Home / Family & Public / Purpose,
5th – 11th House: Creativity / Children & Community,
6th – 12th House: Health / Wellness / Livelihood & Soul Service.
- How about purging, repurposing, and downsizing to keep life simpler, and have all that you need – plus more time (CAP)?
- Is the structure / the system you’ve been in changing?
How is it sustainable? Where’s your part in the change?
CAP – CAN Axis of Family / Tribe, and Elders / Leaders
More questions – to contemplate personally, and explore with your Soul Family:
- How can important themes round home, family, belonging, safety, emotional needs, and on the other hand (is it a dilemma?) long term building of sustaining structures, responsible working with time and resources, and ‘s-aging well’ be reconciled?
- In a time where nuclear and extended families in the traditional sense seem to lose their cohesiveness (or will there be a renaissance?) – what’s your world of home and family transforming into?
Where / who is your tribe?
- Who are the Elders and leaders you turn to for guidance?
Who are your Spirit Elders?
Your inner Elder might be waiting to connect with you.
All important questions to explore and LIVE now, under the Full Moon dynamic and beyond.
They’ll be deepened and brought again to our consciousness with the CANCER New Moon on July 9, in square with stationary (going retro on July 15) CHIRON in ARIES and wide opposition with PLUTO retro in CAP.
Much Love and Cosmic Blessings for the CAP – CAN Full Moon!

Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
