Thursday, Jun 24th, begins the Strawberry Moon Full Moon in
the Sign of Capricorn. This particular moon is known as a Super Moon; it is
when the moon to the closest perigee (Distance) to the earth. This will cause
it to appear much larger than usual and its effect to be felt much stronger. It
is also a Blue Moon. A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in same calendar month.
Strawberry Moon (or Rose Moons in Europe) derives its name from the harvest
time for such fruit among the Algonquin tribes. The effect of the full moon
will last over the next three days. It will be the last SuperMoon of 2021
Capricorn, cardinal Earth sign, is concerned with personal
ambition, rules, boundaries and limits. At its best it can be highly ethical,
self-directed, disciplined and industrious. At the worst, it can be callous,
selfish, materialistic and abrasive.
The Moon is the planet responsible for needs. Nurturing,
feeding, emotional security and one’s maternal experiences are governed the
Moon. The Moon represents how you pursue, receive and maintain those needs. The
Full Moons increases our demands for those needs, urging us to acquire them in
the most direct way.
Together, the Full Moon in Capricorn may draw your attention
to needs and feelings in an effort to fulfill them. As a hunter/gather what are you lacking for?
What is it you’re hungering for? How best to examine your needs and
requirements?
Full Moons are times for completions, bringing projects and
endeavors to their conclusions or redirecting existing energies to new efforts
and enterprises. Full Moons nourish and feed our actions, providing the energy
and support to help them develop and grow.
The sign that governs the Moon is Cancer. This management or “Rulership” provides the characteristics we associate with that sign. Because Capricorn is the sign opposite of the sign of Cancer, the Moon, when it travels through Capricorn is at its weakest state or what we in astrology call its ‘detriment”. This means that you can expect greater challenges and demands from this moon during this transit i.e. not getting sufficient nutrition, rest and so forth. You are urged to be patience and calm in through the course of this transit (next three days).
Capricorn, you should view the next three days as a
time to take stock of how you feel and what you need. Consider it a time of
preparation for your larger aims and ambitions by securing and maintaining that
which helps you feel strong and stable.
Cancer, examine some of the needs you’ve overlooked
or neglected. Your ruling planet in its detriment may make this somewhat
challenging but the extra scrutiny and care you take during this transit may
make such efforts productive and affirming.
Aries and Libra, you may have to review how
you’ve dealt with some particular needs in the past to see how you can better
address it in the future. You may be inclined to disregard the matter but
during the next three days if you devote yourself attending to that need it may
prove to be to your profit.
Much like the Algonquin seeking out strawberries, find those
sweet and compelling items to satisfy your hungers. Recognizing what you need
and what will sustain your being will play an important part of the upcoming
days. Revel in and embrace the Strawberry Moon as a part of the emerging summer
season
