Full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn June 2026: Release, Manifest and Charge Forward

The Spotlight Is On and There Is Nowhere Left to Hide

Dear Beautiful Soul.

This full Strawberry Moon happening on the same day that Mercury Retrograde starts, Jupiter moves in Leo for the first time in over 12 years and just after the Summer Solstice is shining a big old spotlight on anything and everything that is still holding you back from how you want your life to look and where you want to be 6 months from now.

Welcome back to another full moon energy update! If you are new here, every full moon I break down what the energy is doing and more importantly, how it pertains to YOU whatever phase YOU are in right now.

And this one? This one is a big one. So let's get into it.

The Full Strawberry Moon rises on June 29th in Capricorn, on the exact same day that Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer AND Jupiter moves into Leo, just 8 days after the Summer Solstice. If you have been feeling like things are intensifying lately, there is your answer.

This is a release moon AND a manifestation moon. And it is definitely not subtle about either.

So how is this going to feel?

That depends on where you are in your growth right now.

If you have been going through a big life shift or a spiritual awakening, you are going to feel this energy x10. Everything that has been simmering under the surface is coming up and it is coming up loud. That is not a bad thing, even when it feels like one. It is the energy doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or confused and you don't know why - and even more so in the past week or 2, you may very well be going through a spiritual awakening (which again these energies will amplify everything you're feeling) so I invite you to check out my Free WTF is Happening to Me Energetic Reset, including the spiritual awakening symptom decoder chart that's inside. It may very well bring you clarity on what's going on with you right now.

If you have been doing this work for a while, you will likely be able to see the truth behind the emotions being brought to the surface and do this work more objectively. You know this feeling. You know what it is asking. The clarity is there even if the process is still uncomfortable.

Wherever you are, you are in the right place. This moon meets you there.

This Strawberry Moon is in Capricorn so it's going to ground you in structure and honesty with yourself. This full moon will help you discern what is working and what isn't with your life, relationships and work and get really honest about what needs to change.

You know that issue that you have been ignoring? This moon and mercury retrograde are going to make it very hard to keep looking away.

This is the energy of getting clear, getting honest and getting real with yourself about what is actually aligned with where you are going and what needs to be released so you can get there.

And then Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer. On the same day.

Mercury is retrograde in Cancer this time around (till July 23rd) so at the same time, situations will come up for your review around your relationships - both with others and yourself and every time you felt like you belonged as well as every time you felt like you didn't.

On top of all of that, again on the same day, Jupiter moves into Leo as well, for the first time in a dozen or so years and not only is Leo ruled by the Sun which intensifies the aforementioned spotlight, Leo is the fire sign of joy, creativity, authenticity and visibility. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and growth, (also luck, abundance and fortune) so if you heard that the year of the Fire Horse is “your year” and wondering why the hell it has been so hard till now, this is where the tides shift and things can start going more your way. You see, until the new moon in Gemini earlier this month, the intensity of the energies encouraging us to release, release, release were making anyone ignoring (or not recognizing) all of that very uncomfortable.

This combination is powerful and it is purposeful. The full moon is illuminating what is not working. Mercury in retrograde brings to the surface anything remaining surrounding our relationships with ourselves and others and inner emotions that needs to be cleared. Jupiter in Leo helps us to charge forward in this year of the fire horse and make our dreams come true.

What this full moon is asking you to do

Think back to the Summer Solstice and the New Moon in Gemini just before it. That was the energy of getting clear on how you want your life to look 6 months from now. Setting the vision. Calling in what you actually want.

This full moon is the follow up to that. Now it is time to get really honest with yourself about anything and everything that is standing in the way of that dream life becoming your reality. Whatever is still holding you back, transmute it and release it during this full moon if you can.

And anything that is still sticking after that, please do not be afraid to reach out for help. Asking for support is a strength, not a weakness. Sometimes what we are holding onto or what is getting in our way does not even belong to us. It can come in from past lives and ancestral ties, and that is where quantum healing comes in. Some things cannot be journaled or meditated away and that is okay. That is what I am here for and I have just a few 1:1 sessions available between now and mid October.

Imagine just for a moment, yourself standing in the middle of your biggest dreams becoming a reality sometime around when the Winter Solstice occurs? How would that feel? Your dreams are not a fantasy. They are next. And this is the turning point.

Crystal support for this full moon

As always, my full moon staples are on my altar.

White Moonstone is always present for a reason. It connects us to our intuition, to the divine feminine above and within, to that inner knowing that is working overtime right now, especially with Mercury retrograde stirring up all of this emotional depth. If your gut has been trying to tell you something your brain keeps arguing with, this is your stone - to help you trust that inner knowing.

Selenite keeps the energy clear. With this much surfacing at once you need something that moves stagnation and keeps your channel open and connects with the upper realms. Non negotiable for me on a full moon.

For this Strawberry Moon specifically I am also working with:

Black Obsidian for release and protection. With these energies pulling everything that is no longer serving you to the surface, Obsidian is my favourite protection stone period so it is perfect to release while keeping your energy protected in the process. This is your energetic bodyguard during a big release.

Lepidolite for calm and stabilization. I have Lepidolite in all of my Mercury Retrograde Survival Sets and for good reason. When the emotional intensity is high and everything feels like a lot, this stone brings a calming, soothing energy that helps you move through the storm without being swept away by it. It is gentle but it is powerful and it is exactly what your nervous system needs right now.

Malachite for personal growth, expansion and opening up the heart space. I saved this one for last intentionally because this is the stone that bridges the release work of this full moon with the expansive new energy that Jupiter moving into Leo is bringing in. Malachite opens the heart space and supports deep personal growth and transformation. As we step into this new chapter and finally start charging forward, this is the stone that helps you do it with your heart wide open.

I will be sharing my full crystal close ups on youtube and social media very soon so keep an eye on my profile. And this week I will also be putting together specific crystal recommendations for supporting you through Mercury Retrograde in Cancer so watch for that too.

If you want a full crystal intention set built specifically for Mercury Retrograde support, my Mercury Retrograde Survival Sets have you covered. And my free Mercury Retrograde Survival Guide is also available in my Linktree in my profile if you want to know exactly what to expect and how to work with this energy.

One last thing

I am spending this summer writing and I could not be more excited about it. The Transformation Key is the first book in my Spiral Ascension of Life series and it has been a long time in the making. More on that very soon.

In the meantime, if you are ready to go deeper, and stop navigating this alone, you know where to find me.

But right now, let this moon do its work.

Go outside Monday evening. Look up at that big golden Strawberry Moon. Get honest with yourself. Release what is ready, either in your mind or using the fire ceremony I have shared in the past. Reach out if you need support with the rest. And then get ready, because the energy is finally, finally moving in your favour.

This is the moment. You are worthy of all of your dreams and working with these energies can help you bring them into reality.

It is time.

With Love and Fire,
Hannah
