The Full Moon in Capricorn, June 22nd 2024
This Full Moon takes place with the Moon at 01 Capricorn 07 in opposition to the Sun at 01 Cancer 07, on Saturday 22nd June at 2.08am BST in London. Always allow the day before and the day after, to fit all global sleep cycles and time zones.
This Full Moon is important because it aspects Pluto at 1 Aquarius 33, which is almost exact. Do you have anything in your natal chart at 1 degree? Whatever is there, by sign and house, will be triggered by complicated situations on Friday 21st, Saturday 22nd, Sunday 23rd June around the world.
In this feature I will look at that for you, and also look at the 12 zodiac signs and the impact of this Capricorn Full Moon. It’s important, because whatever your sign is, you have Ceres and Pluto, also in Capricorn, in 2024 and this is the big sign-off from the most demanding, intense cycle in 248 years – in just one area of your life.
How Your Sun Sign Is Affected by the Capricorn Full Moon
There is one area of your life where (since 2008) you have experienced deeper transformation than any other. Your solar chart or Sun Sign chart shows you where the headlines have been. This Full Moon is really important because it shows you what still does not add up. Who or what is still not a complete picture for you. Where you may want to try harder (later) but also give yourself a lot of space on 21st, 22nd, 23rd June as the Full Moon kicks in, around the world.

The Capricorn Cycles of 2008-2024
Well, it all began for you on 27th January 2008 as Pluto entered Capricorn. Since then, just one area of your existence has been changed beyond all recognition. 2024 is sign-off year. This area of your life becomes less demanding in stages, as Pluto has gone until September 3rd, when he returns for a long flashback until November 19th. You also see a sign-off in stages with Ceres in Capricorn. She is in flashback mode too, so you will find progress is stop-start and go-slow. She went into this same zone of your chart on February 8th 2024 and will depart on December 7th , This really is the long goodbye for these Capricorn cycles, but you will find the classic gift of empowerment, if you use your willpower. You will be given control if you use self-control.
Ceres and Pluto in Capricorn in Your Chart
Ceres and Pluto in Capricorn in Your ChartGoing to your natal chart or birth chart, all this takes place in your Tenth House of ambition and position, mission and goals. Roles and aspiration. This is your highest potential peak of success, no matter if you work, study or engage in unpaid work. If you have anything at 29 Capricorn then this is personal.
You will have a direct confrontation with the most dominating, controlling, obsessive, powerful people and organisations. From this you learn to push back, own your controls and hold your own reins. By firmly becoming ‘the boss of you’ as they say, you find empowerment.
Do You Have Capricorn 0-21 Factors?
If you have anything at Capricorn 0-21 then the whole year is about recycling, reviewing, returning – professionally. It’s the same with academia or unpaid work.
This is because Ceres goes 0-21 back and forth. Yet it ends on November 12th and from December 7th, this important dwarf planet (Pluto’s equal) has also gone.
Your Tenth House is empty of Pluto and Ceres then. It will likely feel strange at first, but it will be the New Moon in Capricorn on Monday 30th December 2024 that lets you know, this really is a new, new, new year. Welcome to 2025. This will be the first full year you have ever experienced without constant issues about power, or lack of power.
All About Ceres and Pluto
Ceres is the mother-in-law of Pluto. He is married to her daughter Proserpina. She is the go-between. They are equally powerful and locked in a power struggle. It can only be resolved by a new deal. A compromise. A new world. Sometimes astrology is literal. Your issue may be your son-in-law and your daughter. Your mother and your husband. Your mother-in-law and your wife. This is more likely if you were born under the sign of Libra. However, if you have zodiac sign Cancer placements in your chart you may also find the Ceres and Pluto transit is literal.
Pluto Is About Changing Power
You will notice the biggest Pluto and Ceres impact in the world of business, the professions and High Society. Even if you are not affected by either family dramas or career stories, those around you will be.
The change in the balance of power that comes with Pluto is deep and permanent. It’s atomic level. For example – he was at 2 Leo trine the Moon at 2 Aries at the start of the last war.
When that war ended and the power transformed again, Pluto was at 7 Leo and Saturn was at 7 Cancer. Pluto is about massive reshuffle. If you think about the relative positions of the USA and Germany at the start and end of the war (when America used the atomic bomb) you have some idea of just how huge these shifts in real power, really are.
Watching Ceres
The arrival of Ceres in a very long retrograde in exactly the same sign, same area of your life and same house as Pluto is important. She is about the empowerment of people or organisations who had no power. Through and intense and complex process, Ceres transits give firm control, real influence and great weight to people or groups who never had it. Ceres is also there when there is a deal, a bargain, a time-sharing or power-sharing agreement. For example, she turns up when your work schedules are reshuffled and you are told someone else will be doing your job, for half the time. If you are a Libra woman, for example, Ceres is in your zone of real estate, property, the family and your stake in that.
Child Custody and Ceres
Another example of Ceres at work is child custody agreements. In divorce or separation, the father takes the son for the school holidays (for example) or the mother has the lad on alternative weekends.
Ceres and Four Seasons
Ceres rules the four seasons. In summer and spring she is happy and the earth laughs in flowers. In winter and autumn she is not, and it rains. In 2024 the big message for you on this Full Moon in Capricorn, in the same chart zone as Ceres in Capricorn, is to understand there will be seasons. No consistency. For example, if you are an Aries, this will be in your career, as there may be a massive departure in the organisation which means most of 2024 is spent going back and forth with reshuffled power.
Understanding how to deal with four seasons in your life, back and forth, all year, is part of Ceres’ demands of you in 2024. By Christmas 2024 you will realise that you have a new life, a new deal, a new arrangement. Your power and control in that situation will be a result of whatever willpower and self-control you’ve found.
This Full Moon in Capricorn in June 2022, then, requires a lot of time, space and thought because it sets up the future.
What a Full Moon Is In Astrology
A Full Moon is a tug of war between the Sun and Moon in opposite signs. They are in opposition, like two political parties, or two football teams. You will experience inner conflict, depending on your birth chart, or be dealing with others who are at odds with you, or those around you. It’s a complicated, challenging time when the zodiac signs involved show the differences. Capricorn is ambitious. Capricorn wants to be at the top of High Society or big business – or in its field.
The Cancer and Capricorn Split
Cancer values home more. Comfort and belonging. Capricorn leaves the farm to go and make it in the big city. Cancer stays at home, or goes back home. What you will see on that Full Moon on 22nd June 2024 is a lot of front-page news about those themes.
Capricorn is about leaving a small town in order to emigrate to New York or London to be a big shot. Cancer is about putting a house, garden, apartment, family circle, sense of belonging – before hitting the heights. This is all pretty familiar isn’t it? Cancer and Capricorn are ancient archetypes, always opposite.
The Full Moon will make this stand out as if it was spotlit, in your life and in the news.
Capricorn is about successful women who have made it. They have been to university and become leaders in their field. Cancer is about mums who become single parents and work in a store to pay the rent. Capricorn is about prestige, perhaps fame, certainly kudos and clout. Cancer is about ‘my children come first’.
Pluto in Aquarius and the Full Moon
This date is also about Pluto (power) in Aquarius (with the group of friends). So this is a real moment for shifting controls, thanks to the potency of allies in a diverse circle of people. Black, white, old, young, rich, poor, male or female and so on.
The Full Moon in Capricorn is semi-sextile Pluto in Aquarius. The Sun, at 1 Cancer, is quincunx Pluto in Aquarius.
What happens in politics near that 22nd June Full Moon is important as Pluto tells us that the White House and 10 Downing Street, in 2025 and following, belong to a circle of men and women who know how to holds the reins together, horizontally.
When Pluto was in Capricorn, power was held from the top down, by just one man, or maybe a tiny number of men. That’s virtually over.
Do You Have Cancer Factors?
Avoid the Full Moon as it’s a tug of war from the Moon (which rules Cancer anyway) against the Sun in Cancer in your Fourth House of family, real estate, home town, homeland, household and belonging.
There are easier times to discuss, sign, accept signatures, negotiate the relationships and so on. Wait for the Full Moon to go out of Capricorn and the Moon to pass into Aquarius. Then all you have to think about is the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Cancer and so the stage is set for far easier agreements about it all.
Do You Have Capricorn Factors?
Again, avoid the Full Moon for an easy life. The emotional Moon in Capricorn is being pushed against by the Sun, coming the other way. You have Ceres there in Capricorn anyway so there are a ton of issues which are irrational, based on feelings (strong feelings) and particularly female-led thinking.
This will squarely be about your career, unpaid work or academic career. Decisions can and will come out of this, later on, but the actual Full Moon itself is a big full stop in the sky. A big white full stop. That’s your cue to pause.
Do You Have Aquarius Factors?
Pluto in Aquarius only recently landed in your Eleventh House of friends, allies, groups, circles, clubs, societies and teams. This is also where we find bands and charities.
The power is there for all to see. It is with you, them, he or she. There are major questions here about who and what is in control.
This Full Moon will aspect Pluto in a way that means the jigsaw pieces do not fit. So you may want to choose quite another time to try and focus on your friends or groups.
