The first full moon of summer peaks on June 29 at 7:56 p.m. Eastern time. The lunation, which is known as the Strawberry Moon, offers a moment of sensitivity.
The Strawberry Moon occurs hours after Mercury retrograde commences and aspects elusive Neptune in Aries. Be aware that miscommunications are more possible than ever, so try to appease the nature of the full moon in Capricorn by aspiring to be pragmatic and understanding of others, especially when they project their issues onto you. The other side of the full moon is that it’s inspiring and exciting — only if we let go of what’s holding us back.
Here are the four signs most impacted by the Strawberry Moon this June.
Aries
The Neptunian energy can confuse emotions and situations, leading you to disregard critical matters at work. Conversely, it can mark a creatively fluid time. The caveat is that we don’t want to lean into a different vibe and take a blind leap forward. On a bad day, Neptune can bring out sensitivities and fears that hold you back from doing your job. You may be paranoid that a third party is involved in your relationships with management and colleagues, causing you to miss out on opportunities, due to your paranoia — which is founded without truths. It can mean that your desire for acclaim and fame gets in the way. Or, that personal differences can play a role in issues within a professional union. This element can add heaviness and obsession to projects, so try to find a work-life balance to help with this energy.
Cancer
Love will be in the air this evening. People will be in a generous mood, making it the perfect time to spoil that special someone. If you’re single, use this time as an excellent excuse to treat yourself! There will be a lot of egos flying around right now, and though you may find it difficult to set boundaries with people who rub you the wrong way, it will be imperative to your mental health that you do. Remember that it is OK to say “no” to someone, and that it’s totally acceptable to put the love and energy you freely give to others back into yourself. Your status could get a little upgrade as well, so don’t be afraid to show off what an amazing masterpiece you are! As the day comes to a close, you may feel worn out from all of the energy that’s been flying around, which could cause you or others to shut down. Don’t take it personally if someone doesn’t answer your messages tonight; they probably need some time to decompress quietly.
Libra
Your body, mind and soul will find a way to heal themselves with the moon making an aspect to spiritual Neptune. You may find yourself having profound encounters in the astral realms, so try to write down any dreams you can remember when you wake up. A helpful connection between Lady Luna and visions will take place as we stir from our slumbers, allowing us to take on the day as though we’ve just been reborn. By mid-afternoon on June 29, the sun and the moon will be opposing one another in the cosmos, giving you the chance to acknowledge how you can evolve. However, you’ll want to keep an eye out for issues within your family ties, as a harsh aspect between the moon and Neptune could spell trouble for overideation in your brood. These vibes can get a bit obsessive, so you may need to check yourself if you find that you’re tempted to lurk on the social media pages of these individuals. Luckily, you’ll see a significant shift the following day.
Capricorn
This cosmic climate could make you feel more sensitive than usual, so try to maintain a grounded, logical disposition as you move through the day. Since the moon is traveling through your sign, you’ll all feel a little more empathic right now, which could be draining if you’re not careful about who you surround yourself with. Be mindful to keep supportive and positive influences around, especially when the moon squares off Neptune. This energy brings up trauma from the past, leaving you uncertain about how to move forward. Try to keep in mind that your past bad experiences have only made you a stronger person today, and avoid self-deprecating thoughts. Luckily, this energy will add a dreamy, helpful aspect to the full moon, which will provide you with an unexpected pick-me-up. The universe will want to shower you with surprises, so be sure to keep your eyes open for synchronicities and the beauty that lies around you.
