June's Full Moon occurs in tropical Capricorn following the solstice and the Sun's ingress into Cancer. It highlights the cardinal axis and more specifically the Aries Point Axis (the first two degrees of cardinal signs and the last two degrees of mutable signs). It is also the first of two Capricorn Full Moons this year, with the following occurring at 29 degrees on July 21. 

The cardinal archetype is catalytic. This suggests a definite dynamism to this lunation that's helpful for pushing past certain boundaries and obstacles that have been difficult to breach (or that we've been too reluctant to go beyond). 

Capricorn is a pragmatic and often focused sign, and under this Full Moon, it can spotlight specific objectives and endpoints we've been trying to reach or accomplish. However, Neptune's square can show up as an unnerving lack of clarity, uncertainty, or confusion that can lead to distraction or disenchantment.

This Full Moon can bring about a brief but poignant reassessment of what we're ultimately aiming for or whether we have a clear and realistic strategy. It can represent the difficulty of articulating or grasping what does not yet have a definitive form. A dream, vision, or ideal can more harshly meet the limitations of the moment. 

Yet, a theme to consider over the next two years is that the greatest dreams that were realized were the result of a deep commitment to them. Faith is important, but more so is the consistent effort and unwavering support required to materialize what has never been realized. 

While this Full Moon can symbolize a breaking point that can deflate or collapse certain ideals, delusions, or unrealistic goals, it's also a landing point in a larger process that challenges us to keep pushing for clarity, understanding, and truth. Pushing reality's boundaries is never easy, but staying in the fog can be just as difficult.
