The Saturn-led Full Moon in Capricorn on June 29 pulls no punches and will ask you major questions about what you’re doing with your time here on Earth, according to tarot and star sign writer Kerry King. Capricorn is known for wanting to pin down a plan, take ownership and control, and fulfil the next ambition. Career, wealth, home and health are the areas most under the spotlight — the foundations of life, the safety net we build because, if it’s not right or feeling shaky, then it can make us feel insecure in ourselves too.
Let the tarot guide you to your reality check and what to do about it. This Full Moon might feel like hard work, but it’s doing you a favour, highlighting the thing you need to address and can fix up, and that will have a positive impact on your life.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon in Capricorn: Three of Wands. Meaning: Your reality check is going to crop up in a conversation, unexpectedly and out the blue. It might not be negative; actually something you could be doing a lot more with that you’ve overlooked, an unfulfilled potential opportunity. This is the time to use your spontaneous nature to leap in and grab whatever it is that you’ve been missing out on. It may relate to learning or brushing up on a skill that could really open doors for you, or travelling someplace that has all the answers. Be openminded.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Tarot card for Taurus: Seven of Cups. Meaning: You’re falling into a daydream, rather than facing what you know needs sorting in real life. Fantasy and imagination keep us sane sometimes, but it’s not a place you can stay for too long. Come down to Earth, Taurus. Bring your daydream with you, take the intent of it and forge that into a living, breathing plan of action. Imagination without action will just be a daydream forever.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Tarot card for Gemini: Knight of Swords. Meaning: You’ve been too nice! You have made excuses for folk taking liberties at your expense and not treating you with respect. It’s time to wake up the ‘other twin’ — ruthless, rational, assertive and unstoppable. Put him in charge for a bit, let him get you out of the places you’re being disrespected, and into new places that feel more positive. Let him make demands, push back, challenge. It’s time to play tough.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Tarot card for Cancer: Seven of Wands. Meaning: Understand that what you’re trying to get into is really competitive. There are others who want what you want, rivals who push harder, show up sooner, and bare their teeth. You are strong, powerful, shrewd. Don’t stay in a comfort zone that will feel like a trap; come out and compete! You can win, but you must learn to play first. Know the rules, get the playbook, and outmanoeuvre them all.
Leo (July 24 – August 23)
Tarot card for Leo: Two of Swords. Meaning: A firm decision is needed. Pick a side. You can’t hedge your bets forever; you need to commit to a pathway and stick to it. It’s not just about momentum, but also proving to people close to you that you know what you’re doing and are consciously choosing them. If you aren’t sure, state that too — ask questions, research more options. Don’t stay in limbo any longer.
Virgo (August 24 – September 23)
Tarot card for Virgo: Seven of Coins. Meaning: Something is not thrumming like it used to; something has faded, changed, or soured. You hate to lose out, admit defeat, or feel unable to fix things, so you’ve pretended and carried on. Stop. This is all part of the process; you’re evolving to a new phase. Let go of what doesn’t work for you and let space for new things flow in. New energy is coming but it needs space to move into.
Libra (September 24 – October 23)
Tarot card for Libra: Ten of Wands. Meaning: This card is all about burnout. How are you really feeling? If tiredness, fatigue, or exhaustion describe your current state, urgently step back, pause, and streamline your daily life. Delegate, ditch, and delay things. Refocus, reprioritise. If you carry on at this pace, your body will bring you to a halt. Let go of some responsibility. If you can take a physical break, do. If not, streamline and ask for help.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Tarot card for Scorpio: The Emperor. Meaning: There’s an imbalanced power dynamic at play that needs your attention — and it might be you who is overdoing it. You are a fierce, strong, independent soul and you can override people who aren’t as assured. Might this be happening? Or do you feel someone is trying to control you? Take steps to behave differently or withdraw to reset it. Look around, notice where things feel tense or uneven, and recalibrate.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Tarot card for Sagittarius: Five of Coins. Meaning: You have endured a blow in the last five years that struck you deeply and left a scar — and it still needs healing. You tend to push it down and try not to think of it. This Full Moon, talk about your grief, loss, regret, or pain. Release these emotions, name them, and notice the change in your body. Just saying things out loud has a huge healing impact and will help your mind move to the next stage.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 21)
Tarot card for Capricorn: Eight of Cups. Meaning: This card is all about silver linings. There’s no point denying something is a success when it’s not, or that a chance is playing out as you thought when it’s not. Be a realist, be honest, admit defeat. Don’t take it to heart; let it go and look for the next thing. Once you let go of a disappointment, a new and bigger/better opportunity will fly in swiftly. All you have to do is let go of the old ideals, call it quits, and move on.
Aquarius (January 22 – February 19)
Tarot card for Aquarius: Page of Coins. Meaning: You have been skating along by the skin of your teeth and not embracing a skill, process, system, or piece of knowledge that you really need. Knuckle down and learn what you need to know. Don’t try to fool the system or take a shortcut. You need to learn what to do and how to do it, and you do love learning. You’ve built this up into something bigger than it is. You might even enjoy it, and it will make life easier in the long run.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
Tarot card for Pisces: Page of Wands. Meaning: Your haphazard approach right now is causing you problems. Step back and create a priority list. Look at what needs doing for each. Form a strategy, schedule your steps, and set off. The plan may flex and change as life unfolds, but it will help you enormously to have it to fall back on. You might resist a to-do list, but right now it’s what you need or things won’t get done properly.
