The Full Moon in Capricorn is exact on June 21st at 6:08pm PDT.
This is the first of 2 Capricorn full moons in a row. This one is at 1 degree Capricorn, while the next will be at 29 degrees.
This is an important alpha and omega sequence that brings forth new beginnings and endings that illuminate the spiritual connection of your success in the world.
This is a time for celebrating your accomplishments in life and leadership. It can further highlight where any shifts are needed in career, business and practical undertakings.
Ambitious, conservative and practical Capricorn gets down to business and focuses on long-term goals. You may experience an increased desire for professional success, along with more seriousness and grounding.
Capricorn has a determination that provides patience, discipline, and persistence to achieve desired goals.
AND… with the powerful Solstice energy, this Full Moon amplifies your capacity to experience joy, pleasure and love in your body as sacred medicine. You are being invited now to do what makes you feel good without shame or guilt.
The sun and moon's energy supports you to shed self-imposed limitations and unleash your inner wild self! The earthy power of Capricorn magnetizes your creative passion and welcomes you to delight in the pleasures of all your senses!
The lunar portal also reflects to the need to make important choices in order to bring deep dreams and desires forward (for the benefit of our own lives, and for the planet).
If you have been on the fence about something, this moon can bring clarity.
Your body holds the wisdom and guidance for all your answers. Listen within and move in the direction that feels good in your heart, womb space and intuition.
This Moon is also known as the Strawberry Moon or the Honey Moon.

Ritual Suggestions
Gratitude Speak: Speak aloud to the Full Moon, or write in your journal 11 things you are grateful for. If writing, place in the moonlight overnight. This practice brings to light more experiences for you to be grateful for.
Strawberry Honey Medicine: Eat strawberries or a spoonful of honey in the moonlight, taste the sweetness of all of your life's blessings and recent accomplishments while feeling into trust, that all be provided for, for your life's dreams.
Dream Illumination & Sacred Release Journal: What dreams is your soul illuminating for you at this time? What sacred desires are being called into the light? What visions do you have for yourself? How can you clarify and define your dreams? Why are they meaningful and full of purpose? What is between you and your dreams? What is stopping you from living them (focusing on your own patterns, thought forms, behaviors, beliefs)? Burn this paper now for sacred release in a fire or with candles outside in the full moon light. Dance / speak/ move/ sound it out. After this and you feel more space within you, write down and speak aloud to the moon how you now choose to commit and devote yourself to your dreams. How you can take action, receive support and rest into the divine timing of these dreams.
Devotional Heart: How does your heart want to be expressed/nurtured at this time? What embodiment practices inspire you right now? Dance, yoga, walking, chi gong, archery? Activities that bring you out of your mind and into your body are where it's at when done with the intention of celebrating and honouring yourself and your growing dreams. Trying doing them in the moonlight.
Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective.
Remember: Put out your gem stones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation. Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Moon Wisdom' breakfast the next morning.
Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time.
Wild Moon Love, Achintya
