Soul Food-Full Moon-Let Go & Grow
Early this morning at 3:44 am, we had the Full Strawberry Moon. I had forgotten that this event was happening and went to bed early, thus missing a beautiful Moon. My youngest daughter, Shayna, had a friend who captured a stunning photo on his phone. This occurred at 20* Sagittarius. Unfortunately, this Full Moon clashes with 2025’s most challenging aspects, as Jupiter (the Santa Claus of the Zodiac) in Cancer squares off with Saturn (the Taskmaster) in Aries and Neptune (the God of the Seas), master of deception and illusion, also in Aries.
Saturn brings lessons in discipline and structure, emphasizing the importance of staying within boundaries. At the same time, Neptune is the master magician, filling our heads (which are in the clouds) with dreams of illusion, beckoning us to take a ride on the Magical Mystery tour bus. Jupiter squares Saturn on June 15th and squares Neptune on June 18th during this two-week Full Moon phase.
Awareness is the ‘key’ to any situation in life, and this also applies to Astrology. That’s why I write these blogs, to bring these events and other metaphysical principles to you. Stay aware, stay informed, and you’ll be prepared for whatever life throws at you.
It’s been a busy year for Rosie, who is now graduating from 8th grade (with Honors), performing in more concerts with the Choir, Harding Singers, Honors Choir, and the School of Rock, and adding softball practice and games to her schedule. Whew! Nanna needs a break, although I’m as proud as a peacock!
As time allows, I hope to write more blogs and continue my studies of the Universe, the Moon, and the Stars.
With the upcoming Jupiter-Saturn square, be aware of inner tension, structures breaking down, and limitations placed on you. This is a time to reassess what’s working and what’s not; with Saturn, it likes to “trim the fat” and only keep what’s absolutely necessary.
Jupiter, the planet of Expansion, likes to exaggerate everything; the bigger, the better. Keeping this in mind will help you navigate the upcoming planetary squares. To be on Saturn’s good side, remember the Goat plodding up the mountain; patience, diligence, and hard work will get you there. Remember to breathe and take advantage of the much-welcomed rest stops along the way.
I’ve been waiting twelve years for Jupiter to make its way back to Cancer (my Sun sign) and the day has arrived, June 9th, 2025. What Jupiter in Cancer Means for Your Zodiac Sign.
Next up, we have Jupiter/Cancer squaring off with Neptune/Aries on June 18th. It’s a time to put the brakes on overdoing anything, especially alcohol, and overindulgence of any kind. Take off the rose-colored glasses, whether indoors or out; you simply aren’t seeing things clearly, and this includes romance. Be warned, overindulgence can lead to a distorted view of reality.
Neptune likes to take us down the rabbit hole while the Cheshire cat is vaping something from the Timothy Leary days gone by. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Don’t fall prey to the Harry Houdinis and the David Copperfields of the world.
To utilize the positive energies of Saturn and Neptune would be beneficial. With Saturn, get back down to basics, revamp your daily routine if it’s not working for you, and build something of long-lasting stability. (This is a metaphor, but if you’re in the construction industry, by all means, make a brick house, the one that withstood the test of time in the Three Little Pigs.)
With Neptune, take a deep dive into the well of creativity you cast aside many moons ago. Write a song, beautify your garden, or read a fantasy novel (remember it’s fantasy). Light some candles, take out your Mogo bag, your herbs, and your Tarot cards, and listen to Enya. There’s a world of creative opportunities waiting for you, so don’t be afraid to dive in and explore.
Enjoy this Full Moon phase for the next two weeks until we meet again.
Blessings,
Rosie at the 8th-grade graduation.
