June 2022 | Full Moon: Relax + Dig In!

Full Moon - June 14, 2022 @07:51:16 EST
All planetary placements are based on the Sidereal Zodiac with whole sign house system and uses Lahiri Ayanamsha.

As the moon is fully illuminated in sidereal Scorpio this June, the uncommon capacity to heal within and delight externally will be on high. The dramatic energetic shifts that occurred in the cosmos this April and May put into motion this awaited season of rapture and respite.  How we’re utilizing it will also be gently tested in the days surrounding the full moon. This test is more of a reminder that arrives in the form of a subtle, but important psychic obstacle. Thankfully, with an abundance of benefic cosmic power also arising, any setbacks that emerge can be transformed into set-ups for a mighty comeback!

This month’s psychic disturbance will be very subtle. You may not even notice it, or your attempt to seek shelter and protection from the emotional desolation of unfulfilled desires roused by it. This lack of awareness is not a problem if you have developed healthy coping strategies, especially those that allow you to channel emotional turbulence into productive pursuits. If you have not, you may find yourself seeking shelter in harmful and undermining behavioral patterns.

Pausing to reflect and “dig a little deeper” into surfacing emotional turbulence will be key as we move beyond the June solstice and southward equinox this year. The current cosmic conditions support us breaking harmful patterns if we are willing to make the effort. Neptune, Jupiter, and Mars in sidereal Pisces also enhance the brighter aspects of this full moon, making it easier to avoid damaging escapism, overindulgence, and martyrdom. Expect epiphanies and renewed inspiration to get your proverbial ducks in a row in the days surrounding the full moon.

The universe is primed to help us leave behind old ways of living that no longer serve us. We can practically restructure the foundation of our lives into something steady and supportive with ease. Another supportive factor to noteworthy growth in this area is Saturn’s current transit between sidereal Aquarius and Capricorn. When this planet turned retrograde in early June our focus and awareness on obtaining greater integration and embodiment of our teachings and knowledge strengthened. It’s possible you’ve already started taking advantage of this magnificent opportunity that will continue to evolve through early 2023.

Social connection, exploration, and play become soul soothing as the Sun enters sidereal Gemini a day after the full moon. Fertile conditions for peaceful solace through artistic and intellectual pursuits, travel, and pure relaxation come into the mix on June 18th when Venus enters sidereal Taurus to meet Mercury. The opportunity for love connections, romance, and joy will also be available and highly favored at this time. This could be a very memorable summer (or winter if you’re in the southern hemisphere). Don’t miss out on this opportunity for lively fun and leisure.

When the June Solstice arrives on the 21st there will be a tremendous amount of power to do things, go places, and meet with people we may not have felt up to doing for months or years. It’s a great time to let your hair down and enjoy living. If you haven’t taken a vacation lately now would be an ideal time to make it happen. If travel isn’t an option consider taking some time off from work and explore something new in your city, schedule a spa day, plan an in-home retreat, invite friends for dinner, or take time to work on a creative passion.

If you find yourself lost in your shadow side and struggle with choosing healthy coping strategies or want to strengthen this ability, watch your thoughts, body, and compulsions when experiencing strong emotion this month. Get curious and experiment with reframing your perspective and responses to what you’re experiencing. Don’t be afraid to reevaluate and clarify your hopes and wishes, but be certain to strategize how you will achieve these goals. Make a plan and put it into motion. The cosmos is aligned to assist and endorse these activities.

The long-awaited ease and festive energies have arrived. Enjoy it. Just don’t get too swept away in pleasure and obtaining all the good feels, or you might lose valuable, productive ground and get stuck undermining yourself in the name of carnal gratification. The current cosmic alignments make this time a rare opportunity to gain insight and develop solutions to challenging and deeply rooted psychological disfunction. Doing a little reflective work and implementing new habits and routines now can occur with ease and will be very helpful in more challenging times.

Relish in the delight the universe is offering, just don’t lose sight of putting what you know and have learned into practice. Relax and dig in! You’ll thank yourself later.
