Hey! well here we are, entering June (?!). We have a lot going on this week, including a full moon! But as the week begins we have Saturn and the Sun in a square on Sunday the 28th. That can be a bit heavy and dreary. But it does get better. And in my case, because I'm a weirdo, this week's scopes were driven a bit by the heavy energy I felt.
I usually feel the big/strong transits a day or 2 before they happen. I don’t know why or what that means. Maybe it’s an empath thing. Maybe it’s and Aquarius hive mind thing. Maybe it’s nothing, but it has become as predictable as my hormonal imbalance induced migraines. True to form, I started feeling Saturn on Friday 5/26... I felt like someone let all the air out of my balloon. By some cruel twist of fate, I am most creative when I am depressed. So this week’s scopes summary will be structured like a wildly Gemini-Aquarius 5-ish act play (and read with my typical bad french accent for no reason)
Dim the house lights, cue the music...
LE CAST
Aaaaand, Action! No wait, that’s a movie. Aaaaand, go lights, go curtain…
Act 1 (exposition): Our play opens with our hero/heroine/anti-hero (you/the Sun) feeling somewhat down and mopey due to limitations out of her control (Saturn). Our heroine-type person (Henceforth called “HTP”) seems to struggle to communicate (Mercury) their truth or feelings effectively. She is having a momentary crisis of self. Not quite a true “existential” crisis, just more of mini pity party.
Act 2 (building sense of conflict): She loves her friend (The Moon, henceforth “TM“), and wants her to be happy. TM is getting married to a hot, professional Archer who has really great thighs (Sagittarius), and HTP is happy, but also a touch envious. She and TM have helped each other (Chariklo) through so much and HTP is having a self pity moment (Eris). HTP is having difficulty in communicating her true joy to her friend. She overcompensates (liquid courage/champagne/etc), spurred on by some semi-dramatic event or upset (Uranus). HTP feels passionately (Vesta) about fixing the issue, but struggles to act upon it due to self doubt.
Dramatic climactic Act 3(Full Moon in Sagittarius, Sun opposite Moon): At the wedding of TM, HTP, looking sexy (Venus) but still feeling insecure, drinks too much and makes an inappropriate toast (Eris) and cries into her 5th glass of champagne while begging the groom/partner to take good care of (Ceres) her friend, while also throwing in that she will fight them if they don't.
Act 4 crisis: Now she’s made a chaotic (Uranus and Chaos) mess of things and she runs away awkwardly in her very fitted bridesmaid’s dress to cry someplace that probably involves mud. (I feel like we’ve all seen this movie).
Act 5 resolution and denouement (one of my favorite words!): …(music building) fate steps in! This might be a person or an angel or a dream. But HTP realizes that she has far more power (Lilith) than she’s given herself credit. She enacts some dramatic (again, Uranus) plan to heal the friendship. In the process, she heals herself, and as a result of her new confidence, asks the hot, single groomsman/bridesmaid to dance and they have a delightful make out session (also Venus). But then hot person is way too into HTP (Pluto) and after a week or so, she calls it off.
*FIN. cue music*
Ok that’s about as far as I can stretch that out. (Scroll down to the bottom to see the transits and what they mean, including more info on the full moon). Let’s talk about this Full Moon in Sagittarius. This is the first full moon after the eclipses. Things should settle down. We are harvesting from our hard work. This is the “Strawberry Full Moon”, because in the days before instacart, I guess people harvested strawberries around this time…I can’t grow plants, only cats, so Idanno for sure how this works. But I do know strawberries are sweet and juicy and so will this harvest be! If you’ve been working hard, the fruits of your labors will show up in the light of this moon (and up to 2 weeks after, but with fading energy up to that point.) Sagittarius is very optimistic and “lucky”. And this week we have the North Node (our fate, even though I don’t love using that loaded word) conjunct Jupiter, so all the luck and fate and magical shit is lining up in this lunation!
Add to that that both the Sun and the Moon make helpful aspects to Lilith and Chariklo. There’s a lot of empowerment and personal healing possible here with this line up! As with all full moons, information becomes available and "enlightens" us (this could include gossip & rumors because of the opposition to Gemini), but also our dreams and higher aspirations can come into focus and we can start to feel optimistic about our loftier aspirations (yes, please! And a second helping of that, thank you!)
So as wedding guests in this imaginary play, here's how you will experience this performance:
LE CAST
- Sun - you, in Gemini, gathering information and overthinking everything
- Moon - BFF currently in optimistic Sagittarius, making her dreams come true
- Saturn - A Mood
- Jupiter - Luck and Joy and optimism

- Neptune - creating confusion and possibly over romanticizing things
- Lilith - in Leo - proud and self sufficient and taking no shit. Proud and Loud.
- Eris - Causing disruptions in all things, but also reminding us via the shadow of insecurity, that we are enough!

- Pluto - jealous and power-seeking
- Pallas - the gal with the plan

So as wedding guests in this imaginary play, here's how you will experience this performance:
LES SCOPES
ARIES - The full moon will illuminate your dreams and goals which you may have had a hard time tuning into due to Saturn and Neptune in your 12th house. This moon will help! There's still a lot of practical money earning potential lining up in your 2nd house (full of Taurus). This week's moon will also activate your 5th house of romance, creativity, and joy. Overall there is a lot of optimism and positive energy for you in this week's planets!
TAURUS - The full moon will illuminate your deeper relationships with other people and what you offer each other. Family relationships could get a nice love boost, and romantic relationships will feel very nurturing. You really have the world as your oyster at the moment with Jupiter and the North Node in your 1st house. Follow your heart as you take the next steps on whatever journey you're on. You can't screw this up, honestly. This full moon in your 8th house is a good opportunity to see if the things you carry for your partner are still necessary. If not, take it out of your backpack.
GEMINI - This full moon lights up your house of other and partnerships. It might be time to put a little work into your current relationship. Communication is key, and when it falls off, it can be easy to loose track. Full moons generally bring information that we didn't have before, and Gemini is all about that information. There may be pieces of information that aren't great or feel upsetting, but ultimately Jupiter is on your side here and will pull you through. Keep your eyes up and don't get overwhelmed.
CANCER - This full moon lights up your 6th house of "daily grind". Anything you've been procrastinating about in your routine (Sagittarius is the King of procrastination by the way!) will show up now. There could be changes in tasks, or work environment or other things that affect your daily routine. You might get a job offer, or on the flip side, feel upset or unhappy about work in some way. Pets as well as our own health also fall into the 6th house so you may become aware of something that needs to be taken care of. There's a lot of good support from your 2nd house to make money, and your 11th house is packed full of people to support you. This moon is going to show you your next steps!
LEO - This full moon lights up your very own house - the 5th! You might catch a case of the FOMO, since the moon will illuminate opportunities for joy that you might be overlooking. Have some damn fun! This house is also about romance and self expression. You might hook up, break up, or make up. You might get a tattoo! You have a lot of strong feminine energy in your 1st house aspecting this moon. Your sense of self and how you project it in the world is getting a big boost by those badass goddesses. Create and express from the heart!
VIRGO - This full moon illuminates your house of home and family. So let's just say you're buying a home, or trying to...things might come together in this full moon, or you might find out that you have one snag in your credit report that you have to fix. You might close escrow during this time. From another POV, you might become aware of something within your family - maybe some family history, or a lost connection might pop up. The needs of family might grab your attention. You have a lot of activity in your spiritual houses, so maybe you need to shift your focus out of your deeper mind and into your living room.
LIBRA - This full moon takes place in your 3rd house. Opportunities for social activities might present themselves. This is prime territory for finding out information that was previously hidden from you. Your 11th house of friends and associates is packed right now, so you might catch wind of some gossip. Rumors suck for the most part, but occasionally you can be given information that is helpful in knowing your next steps. You also have some major activity in your 8th house, including the North Node and Jupiter. Those planets in the 8th could benefit you financially in some way. Luck and fate might show up in your bank account!
SCORPIO - This full moon might be very lucky for your wallet! It lights up your 2nd house of eared money. You might find out you're getting a raise or promotion. You might also be tempted to overspend, or maybe have a large expenditure. Use this moon to focus on and appreciate all aspects of abundance, including giving money to others. Paying bills is a blessing when you're able to do it! There's a lot of strong feminine energy showing up in your 10th house of public image...use that to your advantage. Your partnership house has a lot of expansive and lucky energy in it as well.
SAGITTARIUS - Happy full moon to you! You are the King or Queen of optimism, but this moon might make you a little moody. However, the illumination of this moon is nothing but helpful for you. Your sense of self will get a boost. And your 9th house, which is the house ruled by Sagittarius, is full of powerful feminine energy and wisdom. Even if you aren't a woman, the power of Lilith and Venus and Pallas in Leo (proud and expressive AF) in your own house is very potent! (Mars is there too, FYI). You can get all kinds of shit done with this energy in your corner!
CAPRICORN - The full moon illuminates the darkest part of your chart - the 12th house. You are probably going to have some wild dreams with this lunation, and you might feel moody or like being alone. This shines a light into the back of your closet, where all kinds of left over karma and spiritual detritus accumulates. If you don't need it, let it go. (This includes guilt, shame, self isolation, co-dependency, substance dependency, old unhealed experiences, etc. etc.) There is a lot of deep energy in your chart currently, but the 8th house is full of Leo, and your 5th house is full of Taurus. There's some deeply connected and great sex potential here!! And if you aren't having great sex, utilize that same energy to give yourself a little vacation. Shut the curtains. Turn off your phone. Play the sexy music. Eat the pricey steak. Wear whatever makes you feel powerful. And let go of some of that heaviness!
AQUARIUS - This full moon illuminates your 11th house of people you know. I also call this house the house of 'audience'. Whoever your tribe is, they are here in some kind of spiritual agreement with you to hear whatever your message is. You don't need a microphone or a platform. Your message can also be just who you are and how you live your life...how you embody your message. Your tribe is your audience and during this time you might discover some new people, or they might discover you. The people that no longer align with your message (or you with them) might exit. But your tribe is being illuminated and refined. Lilith is in your 7th house of partnership with a lot of other very proud feminine energy. And your family is an untapped source of "luck" and support as well. Beam your message into the world by being you. When you "build it", they will come.
PISCES - This full moon lights up your 10th house of career. If you consider your 10th house as the stage of your public persona, there is a lot of activity entering and exiting the stage at this time. Actors, players, stage managers, directors, etc. are all finding their place and sometimes the exit. Behind the scenes in your 6th house you have very powerful feminine energy and strong support calling the cues and making the set changes happen. And in your 3rd house of communication and voice, you have a ton of incredible Taurus energy: the North Node, Jupiter, Mercury...You couldn't ask for a better set up for projecting your voice than these planets in Taurus. (Taurus is the sign known for its distinctive voice by the way). Saturn as well as your own ruling planet are in your sign. You're the star! Do your thing!
