Summer is officially here and kicks off with a bang! The summer solstice, which marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and the longest day of the year, takes place on June 20 once the sun enters Cancer. The following day, on June 21 at 9:08 p.m. EDT, there’s a full moon in Capricorn, also known as the strawberry full moon. These back-to-back celestial events signal a dynamic and busy season ahead! The full moon in Capricorn always coincides with a moment of recognition and accomplishment. This is an aligned time to celebrate yourself and how far you’ve…
