The full moon of June 11 (12:43 am PT) ignites courage, clarity, and inner strength in the face of chaotic change. Themes of respect, authority, and freedom burn brightly now, as this full moon casts a bold light into the shadows of oppression, self-doubt, and suppressed truth.

This full moon falls in sidereal Scorpio, a sign of deep emotional intensity and transformation.  Scorpio is ruled by the red planet, Mars, which is now transiting sidereal Leo­—sparking creativity, will power, and courage to rise after a fall.

The full moon is in the area of the sky called Jyestha, the star of the elder queen, a revered goddess of power and seniority.  Over time, Jyestha Devi has been degraded and assigned to misfortune (Alaksmi), as she fell from her position as queen.  Consider, in what ways you have felt disenfranchised, or where you’ve perhaps internalized a lack of self-worth because of age, origin, or identity. Jyestha full moon is a call to reclaim what has been exiled within you.

A chaotic influence called Kala Sarpa Yoga, an alignment called the “serpent of time” continues to stir up collective karmic storms. There’s a sense of a squeeze within the serpent—a collective karmic pressure that can awaken, but also overwhelm.

In 2025 and 2026, Saturn is aligning with the nebulous planet Neptune, signaling an important historical turning point. Old structures are dissolving and large-scale social shifts are approaching. This full moon casts a revealing light on shifting political ideologies. AI technology and the misuse of power within governments, families, and personal relationships are also in the spotlight.

Fortunately, Mercury is strong now, conjoined with expansive Jupiter in Gemini, strengthening the ability to speak the truth and express needs with clarity. It’s also an auspicious time for travel, learning, and meaningful exchange. Let this full moon guide you to a deeper connection with your inner wisdom and voice.
