Lunar Living Astrology

This full moon in Sagittarius during the month of June is also known as the Strawberry Moon. The full moon is out of bounds (OOB) adding fuel to the insecurities we are likely to feel. With the Sun in Gemini, we may become depressed more easily because we are having a difficult time staying focused, or on task with any one project. Although it is not shown on this chart, there is a loose sextile forming between the Sun in Gemini and Mars in Leo. There's also a trine (as shown) between Mars and the Moon in Sagittarius. This wedge adds a layer of tenacity to our mood today. Mars is giving us the courage to move forward on a project that we have been avoiding.

Mercury, in Taurus, is doing its best to keep us focused on our personal well being, physically and mentally. So lean into that influence to get the most we can out of the day. But, at the same time, be aware that Uranus and Mercury are forming a conjunction, which can lead to unexpected outcomes as we navigate the day. Unexpected do not necessarily mean bad outcomes, but that's a possibility, too.

Venus, in Cancer, is forming a different wedge aspect to Neptune in Pisces with an out of sign opposition to Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. It's a bit more difficult to determine how these energies will play out, as Pluto is being the wild card. We can take the risk and hope for the best, but it's good to have a plan b or c or d in our back pocket to get the most that we can from the day. The main advantage comes to us through our personal talents and skills that we have honed over the years, as Venus and Neptune give us the ability to maximize on them. Just don't ignore the influence of Pluto, as it can become more than a black cloud.

Mars, as mentioned earlier with the full moon aspect, tends to be fearless when transiting through Leo. We may be looking for some good competition today. As long as others are on board with the idea of competition, this might be the time to go for it. Mars is square to Jupiter in Taurus, and, well, that can inflate our motives. If the only reason for the competition is to boost our own ego, then, perhaps today won't be a good day for competing against others. Considering that there is an inconjunct from Mars to Saturn in Pisces, along with a sextile from Jupiter to Saturn, there might be a "toll" to pay, potentially, physically, for trying to showboat.

Not only is Jupiter and Mars forming a square, there is a square from Jupiter in Taurus to Pluto in Aquarius. How we interact with others will determine whether we leave others feeling good or bad about us. Pushing our beliefs onto others could burden us, and them, as Jupiter's influence has a tendency to carry a lot of weight or expand a situation in ways we don't anticipate. Being aware of, as well as, owning the flaws in our value systems is important during this full moon.

During this full moon, we may want to be perceived as a victim of another's abuse. That's not to say that we aren't a victim, but the better use of this full moon's influence is to take back our own personal power and step out of the victim role. Learning how to protect ourselves better from future abuse is where we gain the most reward in the day. There are two planets each in Fire and Air Elements, with three planets each in Earth and Water, indicating that there's six planets in the feminine receptive signs, with four planets in the masculine. This indicates that we can have open discussions about our roles in life, without getting into petty battles about which, or what, is better. Where we will struggle is within our motivations. There is only one planet in a Cardinal sign, where there are four planets in Mutable signs and five planets in Fixed signs. Keeping our intentions honest and real is what will help us shine today.
