The June 28 full moon at 06°28′ Capricorn aligns with Saturn by less than one degree. The most challenging nature of Saturn will be on display for the next two weeks because this conjunction is so tight and Saturn is retrograde.

Moon conjunct Saturn adds seriousness to your emotions and can lead to distance in your intimate relationships. You may have to deal with some challenging situations and negative attitudes which will feel worse than they actually are. These hindrances and restrictions will apply mainly to your home and family life. Some drama involving your home, parents, children or your partner will be very trying on your emotions and can lead to feelings of rejection and depression.

Women in particular may be the source of this sadness, or be subject to some hardship. Self-discipline and emotional maturity are called for, and feelings of guilt about past behaviors need to be overcome. Exposing emotional vulnerabilities and opening up to loved ones will enable the nurturing and closer bonding required to overcome the problem.

Saturn retrograde is a time of limitation, restriction, anxiety and fear. You may be tested to make sure you are ready to take on extra responsibility. The lessons you learn might be hard but they will be valuable. Perhaps negative behaviors such as sadness or shyness have gotten out of control. If so, the full moon offers a chance to recognize and admit the problem. Things may get so out of control that an intervention or some drastic event must occur to shake you out of your depression or isolation.

Full Moon Change

Moon trine Uranus is a weak influence because of its wide orb of 4°33′. However, if you make a conscious effort, you will be able to bring change and excitement to your life with a minimum of upset and chaos. Trust your intuition and allow the impulsive nature of Uranus to free you of the over-cautious nature of Saturn.

Chance encounters are possible and you may be attracted to unusual types of people or those from different ethnic or cultural backgrounds. Uranus brings the chance of new relationships and Saturn retrograde means they would likely be karmic encounters or past life contacts. This blend of old and new can signal the beginning of a lasting relationship. It could also breathe new life into a relationship that has become too boring and routine.

If you are in an unhealthy relationship you may find an opportunity to break free. But remember the relatively weakness of this aspect means you have to really want change and be ready to work hard for it. Similarly, you could use this full moon to break bad habits, overcome phobias or depression, or remove yourself from a negative environment.

Fixed star Kaus Borealis at 06°34′ Capricorn will also help you break free. It gives initiative and resourcefulness, an active mind and sense of justice. It helps in the promotion of idealistic and humane ideas. Dr. Eric Morse ^[1] says this star conveys a sense of strength and flexibility combined, allowing you to put great force behind your reasoning while still being somewhat flexible.

Relationship problems, cold emotions, negative behavior patterns and bad habits could make your life more difficult. But at the same time you will want to break free of such limiting factors.

A positive fixed star is even closer to the full moon which gives the initiative and resources to make the changes you want. A positive aspect to Uranus also bring opportunity and the desire for positive change. However, the relative weakness of Uranus and the fixed star compared to the restrictive, inhibiting powers of Saturn retrograde means you will have to show great will power and determination to force through the change you want or need.
