Capricorn Full Moon No Fluff Reality Check
With Mercury Retro Same Day
The Strawberry Full Moon in Capricorn on June 29, 2026, is arriving with zero tolerance for bullshit.
The Saturn Square Reality Check
Both the Sun and Moon are squaring Saturn in Aries. If there is a structural flaw in your long-term plans or you have avoided a responsibility, this transit may expose it. Don’t avoid restrictions; use them to build a sturdier foundation.
Mercury Stationing Retrograde
Locking into place on the exact day of the Full Moon, Mercury begins its retrograde journey. But, fear not. The universal mandate for the Mercury Retrograde is simple: Just do your homework. Check before you commit. Treat agreements as drafts that require a careful second, or even a third look, not something set in stone at this point.
The CEO’s Brain Dump Strategy for this lunation
Because Capricorn respects tangible strategy over wishful thinking, adopt the tactical “Brain Dump” approach recommended by Kevin Van Paassen & ACS, which I think makes sense for this structured time period:
Clear the Deck: Write down every large or small professional and personal anxiety cluttering your mental space.
The Ruthless Edit: Channel Capricorn’s pragmatism and aggressively cross off anything that isn’t actively serving your long-term growth or ultimate purpose.
Micro-Action: Pick your top three remaining priorities and commit to one small, actionable task for each within the following 48 hours.
By this Full Moon, Mars and Uranus are already pretty darn close (within 3 degrees of each other), but will make their conjunction exact on July 4th, so hold on to your hat until then. Fireworks will be forthcoming.
PS Can’t wait for the new Odyssey movie to come out next month!
I have been fiddling around with my online stuff this summer and I have now utilized my existing personal domain name, Gabelsberg.com for my Substack. I will try cross posting a bit more between my Substack and website blog at eagleeyeastrology.com to see how I can streamline my output more. Like the old saying goes, “Don’t mind the dust.”
