087 | Capricorn Full Moon: Mullet Over!

April and Jen mull over the week ahead with a dramatic Capricorn Full Moon and two planets changing direction (Mercury turns direct, while Neptune turns retrograde). Venus gets busy, leaving home-loving Cancer and heading into expressive LEEEoooo (sing along!), while swimming nicely with sleepyhead Neptune and facing off against the lord of the underworld, Pluto. Yikes! Good thing the Sun takes time to celebrate itself by making a happy aspect to ever-expansive Jupiter! Plus: the music of 1987, hairstyles that are business in the front and a party in the back, and a daring new toaster purchase!

Podpals: Please note that we are taking next week off for a little summer vacay! We’ll return with Episode 88 on July 5, 2021!

But if you find you’re missing us, let us know! Or leave a comment with your favorite songs from 1987, won’t you? https://www.BigSkyAstroPod.com

00:30 – April and Jen had some great 1980s hair, as evidenced in Ep. 80’s artwork (https://www.bigskyastrology.com/episode-80/). Plus, is the mullet making a comeback (https://bit.ly/3gKgZ6T)??

.

02:03 – We continue our journey into 1980s music with songs from 1987. Jen chooses “If I Had a Boat” by Lyle Lovett and “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. April loves “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House, and “Faith” by George Michael (the Venn diagram of our musical lives continues!). Hear all our 80s picks here: https://bit.ly/3fHbbKY. We also post our episodes on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3uQtlPR.

.

05:27 – Venus, at 23.11 Cancer, trines Neptune in Pisces (June 21). This is the ultimate aspect of unconditional love. Yay!

.

09:50 – Mercury turns direct at 16.07 Gemini (June 22, 3:00 pm PDT): And there was much rejoicing (https://bit.ly/3gFZ7eo)! It will leave its shadow July 7, and enter Cancer July 11.

.

12:53 – **MOONWATCH ** This week brings a volatile Full Moon (FM) at 3.27 Capricorn (June 24)! Time to review what we’ve accomplished since the Gemini Solar Eclipse from two weeks ago (June 10). This FM is also connected to the Cap New Moon Solar Eclipse of Christmas 2019 (more on that in Ep. 5, Unboxing Eclipses https://www.bigskyastrology.com/005-unboxing-eclipses/). The Cap FM asks us to balance internal, Cancer qualities (family, dear ones, our home lives) with the external, top-of-the-mountain ones (how do we express ourselves out in the world?).

.

16:58 – As part of the FM chart, the Sun at 2.10 Cancer is trine Jupiter in Pisces (June 23). Celebrate yourself, have fun! The Cap FM wants us to work hard, but Sun trine Jupiter wants us to make time for pleasure.

.

18:06 – Also in this FM chart: Venus, at 26.06 Cancer, is opposed Pluto in Cap (June 23). Pluto is on the Sabian symbol, “A mountain pilgrimage,” while Venus is on, “A storm in a canyon.” This brings us back to late Jan. 2021 (Ep. 66, Leo Full Moon: Dinner and Bingo! https://www.bigskyastrology.com/episode-66/). What was going on for you then related to money, relationships, or power struggles in these areas? The midpoint of the story now unfolds. What can you release? Yard sale time!

.

23:04 – Neptune turns retrograde (Rx) at 23.11 Pisces (June 25), and will be Rx until Dec. 1. Neptune reminds us that we can’t always go in a straight line; we are invited to look within to find guidance.

.

26:09 – Venus enters LEEEooo (June 26 – July 21)!! Venus is what we enjoy and what makes us feel good. In Leo, we like to treat ourselves to indulgences, create things, and get attention.

.

29:25 – Thanks for listening! Be sure to follow, rate and review, and tell a friend! Big thanks to donors JASMINE VIEHE, MELANIE HARDCASTLE, and GENINE BAREL We’ll see y’all in two weeks!
