Full Moon June 2024 in Capricorn

The Full Moon in Capricorn on June 21, 2024, is square Neptune. So, the Full Moon June 2024 astrology relates to confusion, deception, insecurity and disillusionment. Other themes include victimization, sacrifice and suffering.

The June 2024 Full Moon is also aspected to Pluto, which adds fear, extremism and crises. A complex pattern created by the planets linked to the Full Moon causes insecurity and provocation. Finally, a group of star clusters and nebulae add courage and ambition but pessimism, fear and foreboding.

Full Moon June 2024 Horoscope

The Full Moon on Friday, June 21, 2024, is at 01°07′ Capricorn. The challenging Neptune aspect is the most significant effect on the astrology of this Full Moon. Pluto is also aspected, and this creates a four-sided configuration called a pattern called a Provocative aspect pattern. The June 21 Full Moon also aligns with a grouping of star clusters and nebula with a generally negative influence.

Full Moon June 2024 Astrology

Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces, such as work versus home or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts climax with the June 2024 Full Moon. So, use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an honest and balanced look at your relationships. You will see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Deceptive Neptune

Full Moon square Neptune can distort your perception of reality and your intuition. It can cause confusion, fantasies, insecurity, and disillusionment. You may become more sensitive and easily hurt and more vulnerable to over-idealization and being taken advantage of. Hypochondria is possible, but there is a risk of infection, allergies, poisoning and illness.

This aspect is associated with lies, deception, fraud, scandal, spying, suspicion and paranoia. However, entertainment and creative work are ideal ways to escape reality safely. Other themes include victimization, sacrifice and suffering. Don’t hide your compassion and empathy; share them openly.

Extreme Pluto

Sun quincunx Pluto can intensify stress and fears and escalate tensions to a level that feels like a mini-crisis, conflict or threat. An event or person may trigger this tipping point by taking away your power. There may be manipulation, abuse of power and extreme, obsessive, or compulsive destructive behavior.

This is an evolutionary process with karmic causes and implications. Compromise is needed, as there are no yes or no answers, only gray areas. A positive response would be sublimating your ego and letting go, trusting in a higher power. You can improve your life and positively affect someone or many others.

Neptune sextile Pluto positively influences the Full Moon June 2024 astrology. It gives a pioneering spirit, making you unafraid to challenge the accepted way of thinking and doing things. You can deconstruct any system, belief or procedure, remove political, religious, cultural, and gender bias, and then reconstruct it in a more advanced and unadulterated state. Obsessions are possible, but your higher thought processes seek order in chaos and simplicity in complexity.

You can tap into the mass subconscious and gauge the prevailing thoughts of humanity. Your input to the mass consciousness transforms how we communicate and live with each other through political, religious, and cultural renewal. Old systems and beliefs based on empire and superiority are disintegrating. In their place, you are dreaming up, or imagineering, a more humanitarian approach and shared responsibility for the welfare of everyone and everything, the collective dream.

Provocation

A Provocative aspect pattern is a quadrilateral formed by Full Moon aspects mentioned above. It causes nervousness and restlessness and gives a tendency to interrupt with a question, make a conjecture, scorn pleasure and always find something that is not right.

A provocation is a one-sided challenge. This figure gives the ability to recognize other people’s sore points. It makes some people provoke others to dominate them or make themselves indispensable. Inner insecurity (Sun quincunx Pluto) can make you intrusive and manipulative, believing that “attack is the best form of defense.”

On the other hand, “pro” means to be in favor of something. The Provocative aspect pattern allows you to assert yourself in favor of a particular thing against existing resistance. It gives the courage to bring things into the open that would remain hidden.

This pattern can also provoke your thoughts to make you achieve something. It helps you focus on a specific task with exclusive concentration, but at the same time, you should not forget to question your ignorance and take off your blinkers from time to time. ^[1]

The Constellations

The Full Moon in June 2024 is in the Sign of Capricorn. However, as the star map below shows, it is located in the Constellation of Sagittarius. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.

The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. The ecliptic line in the image below matches the degrees in the Full Moon horoscope above. Like the original astrologers, I use the Constellations and fixed stars for interpretation, not the Signs.

Full Moon June 2024 [Stellarium]

The June 21 Full Moon is shown above on the Bow of the Archer. It most closely aligns with a group of three-star clusters and nebulae on the ecliptic. In astrology, the central one (M8), is called Spiculum, but the interpetation apllies to all three.

00♑53 – M20, Triffid Nebula
01♑07 – Full Moon June 2024
01♑10 – M8, Lagoon Nebula
01♑18 – M21, Webb’s Cross
01♑36 – γ² Sagittarii, Alnasl

Spiculum

Fixed star Spiculum imparts courage of convictions, ambition, fetishes, self-destruction, eye or ear problems, and chronic, difficult-to-diagnose or possibly serious illness. ^[2]Of the nature of Mars and the Moon (adventurous, treacherous, insolent, wanton, brutal, dangerous to eyes), and specifically mentioned by Ptolemy as productive of blindness. ^[2]

As one of the ‘blind stars,’ Spiculum is a figure of great foreboding. It gives a strong tendency towards depression and a rather morbid outlook religiously when harshly aspected (opposite Sun, square Neptune). It makes for all manner of problems, psychological and physical, eyesight included. There is often that feeling of negative ‘fear of God’… that we are hopelessly doomed. The classic novel The Day of the Triffids, with its fear of the extinction of humanity by mere plants, perfectly conveys this nebula’s negative associations. ^[4]

With the Moon: Great courage, aspiring, ambitious and adventurous, treading where others fear to go. May become obsessed with extremes in personal desires, which could develop into fetishes like a fear of germs and constant hand washing, hoarding or greed. Subject to drug addiction resulting in self-destruction or illness. ^[2]

Full Moon June 2024 Meaning

The June 21 Full Moon has a challenging influence because of the harsh Neptune aspect. The major themes are confusion, insecurity, and deception. However, the astrology of this moon phase is not so simple. Pluto adds fears, threats, conflict and crisis, while the aspect pattern adds nervousness, restlessness and provocation.

Yet more complexity comes from the star clusters and nebulae. Spiculum gives courage and ambition but causes a pessimistic outlook and intensifies Pluto’s fears, obsessions and extremes. The combined effects point to threats and provocation through extremism, manipulation, undermining, subversion, deceit and propaganda. There is a slight chance that collective courage and compassion can avert the crises of sacrifice and suffering.

The influence of the June 21 Full Moon lasts two weeks until the July 5 New Moon. Astrologically, a Full Moon is influenced by the preceding New Moon. The June 6 New Moon aligned with Venus to encourage love and harmony. However, it was also square Saturn, which means hard work, determination and patience are needed to achieve peace.
