FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN

June’s full Moon in ambitious Capricorn sparks a desire for acknowledgment and appreciation. You’ll be chafing at the bit to get moving in your ideal professional direction, and a pat on the back wouldn't go astray either, right? Particularly if you’ve worked hard and sacrificed much.

Not a boss babe? You'll be massively motivated to achieve a personal goal all the same. This full Moon lights a fire in your belly, urging you to tear down obstacles to smash tasks and targets. In your insatiable desire for progress, you could risk crossing boundaries in the hot pursuit of your aims. This steely determination may also be expressed in your relationships, where you win a disagreement or a love interest’s affections with an I’m-not-taking-no-for-answer attitude.

But the Sun in comfy Cancer disagrees with La Luna’s unrelenting expectations. Le Soleil encourages you to take a load off and put your feet up. Who cares about progress? You're off the hook, darling. Go and play with friends and family. Cancer rules emotions, so the Crab just wants you to feel good. Did someone say chocolate and champagne on the couch?

With these opposing forces at play, to say you feel pulled in two different directions is an understatement. But which path should you take? On the one hand, this full Moon promises big rewards for your efforts and recognitiongalore. Growing your Instagram following, building an empire, getting the guy (or the girl) and paying off your mortgage is as tempting as a desert oasis right now.

The question is; do you sit in your comfort zone or push yourself to near-breaking point? Neither sounds appealing nor acceptable. La Luna whispers, “get ahead at all costs”, but Le Soleil says, “don’t worry, be happy”.

The answer lies somewhere in-between both extremes. Saturn, the full Moon’s home planet, is in retrograde, suggesting that now is not the time for either. Instead, find the sweet spot that honours your need for self-care while steadily making your mark on the world.

And then, you can have it all
