The Full Moon on Monday 20 June 2016 is at 29 degrees Sagittarius. While falling in Sagittarius decan 3, the direct effect will also be felt by Capricorn decan 1. The full moon astrology is very similar to that of the previous new moon on June 4. Venus remains the most prominent planet so the love test continues.

Full Moon June 2016 shines a spotlight on your fears and anxieties with this years major aspect Saturn square Neptune exact only three days earlier. The communication planet Mercury is in the same place as the previous new moon. This means that open and honest discussions are critical to determining your results in the love test.

Full Moon Meaning

Like all full moons, the major planetary aspect is Sun opposite Moon. Along with the conjunction, this is the most important of all aspects in astrology. A full moon focuses our attention on relationships of all kind. A full moon itself has a relationship to the previous new moon. Projects you started since the June 4 new moon can now be fine-tuned or completed, it is harvest time.

As the lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon, you can take an objective and balanced look at your personal relationships. Being in touch with your own needs and intentions, and those of others, you can clearly see any relationships imbalances causing disharmony. The influence of a full moon last for two weeks up to the next new moon, in this case the July 4 new moon.

Full Moon June 2016 Astrology

Love and money are the main themes of full moon June 2016 because of Venus joining the Sun. This was also the case with June 4 new moon because Venus has been travelling only slightly faster than the Sun.

In the two weeks since the new moon you should have pinpointed some of the obstacles standing between you and true love. The two weeks following this full moon can involve practicing your ideas for improvement through closer interaction with others. Ideas for improvements can also be applied to your financial situation through saving or debt management.

Full Moon June 2016 Aspects

Sun conjunct Venus shines the spotlight on all that you love and value. As mentioned in the previous new moon article: If single you may feel a more intense need for companionship and intimacy, and want to do something to improve your chances for romance. Or you could seek out something else to trigger the release of love chemicals in your brain, like a creative work or hobby you love to immerse yourself in.

Moon opposite Venus is the only test directly affecting this full moon and it is much easier to pass all those squares and oppositions in the new moon chart. If dating there would be a tendency to lower your standards just to be with someone and not feel alone. The chance of such a relationship lasting may not be good but that is probably not as important to you as close emotional contact at this time.

If already attached then some friction may arise due to different moods or needs. However, this transit alone is definitely not a sign of major conflict or relationships difficulties. It is more likely that any simmering relationships tensions will be exposed which can be worked on once this transit is over.

Saturn square Neptune has been an ongoing challenge for months now but it is especially relevant to full moon June 2016 because of its exactness, occurring only 3 days earlier on June 17. Disappointment or setbacks now are more likely to extend or deepen periods of grief or depression that we all experience from hardships. Even without hardship being placed upon you, it is likely that psychological fears or paranoia may overwhelm you leading to uncertainty.

The June 4 new moon tied into this nightmare of an aspect so it’s impact on your love and money will continue through this full moon phase. This full moon is actually very similar to the previous new moon. The replacement of Moon conjunct Venus by Moon opposite Venus does not change things that much. The most noticeable change is Mercury in place of the previous new moon, making communication the major stumbling block to successful outcomes.

Mercury opposite Saturn brings serious thinking and conversation, but also negativity and sadness. Poor self-esteem can lead to communication difficulties and isolation. Being along studying or on the computer would feel more conformable than being in social situations, with in-depth research offering a way to keep your mind busy.

Mercury square Neptune distorts your thinking which can confuse and complicate discussions and business dealings. Even giving or receiving instructions can suffer from lack of clarity and misinterpretation. If you must deal with any important business, government or legal matters, seek professional advice or help from a trusted friend.

Full Moon June 2016 Extras

A minor planet and some fixed stars line up with the June 20 full moon as shown below.

28 ♐ 23 Quaoar
28 ♐ 59 Fixed star Acumen
29 ♐ 32 Full Moon
29 ♐ 59 Fixed star Sinistra

As the full moon has already passed over the fixed star Acumen, its full effects should be felt more strongly than Sinistra. Acumen in the Sting of the Scorpion is actually a beautiful cluster of stars called the Ptolemy Cluster. It was traditionally said to cause bad eyesight but at a deeper level it gives a very acute perception at the intuitive or psychic level. The word Acumen actually means keenness and depth of perception, discernment, or discrimination especially in practical matters. This will no doubt help in trying to work out what others are thinking while Saturn blocks your rational Mercury communication skills.

Quaoar is a minor planet (number 50000) with a similar orbit to Pluto. It was only discovered in 2002 so there is only limited interpretation on offer by astrologers. According to Nick Anthony Fiorenza:

Quaoar would seem to have character supporting a “harmonious revolution”— to help us release and surrender to the natural order of the creative forces governing life and death. in addition, Quaoar would inspire our return to the “sacredness of life”; to realize all things in life are sacred and that it is our responsibility to have respect for natural order and to live in harmony with nature; without this we do not have respect for our selves.
