With a gilded touch and a gouty toe, Jupiter expands all that he touches. In the feelings-forward, intuitive, and home-centric sign of Cancer, that expansion is found through healing, healthy boundaries, and fortified foundations. On a collective level, we will all benefit from the vulnerability, magic, and depth lent by Jupiter in Cancer.
In Gemini, Jupiter is about the expansion of expression, while in Cancer, the power of plenty extends to reflection and tending to the wounded waters from which we came.

Aiding and abetting our understanding of this transit is the brilliant astrologer and spiritual counselor Letao Wang.
'As Jupiter moves into Cancer, we are invited into a period of emotional growth, deepened connections, and collective care. When in Cancer — a sign ruled by the Moon and deeply tied to home, family, and emotional security — this transit encourages us to expand our hearts, heal old wounds, and build stronger foundations in both our personal and collective lives,' Wang told The Post.

'Jupiter's journey through Cancer will emphasize themes of compassion, protection, and humanitarian efforts. We may see increased focus on housing security, food accessibility, and support for families and children. Governments and organizations could prioritize policies that nurture communities, such as improved healthcare or social safety nets. Emotionally, the world may feel more inclined toward unity and empathy, with a collective desire to care for one another—especially those in vulnerable situations.'
Wang shared that this transit also supports creative and domestic pursuits.

According to Greek myth, after completing his arduous labors, the exhausted hero Hercules struck the earth with his club. In response, the ground gave was, fissuring and flooding into hot springs. Lowering himself into the water, Hercules was healed, his muscles soothed and his spirit restored.
Jupiter in Cancer invokes a similar energy, a summons to transmute suffering into salve and heal ourselves through ourselves.

2025 Full Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius: A low-hanging moon and some hard-hitting truths
Arrows up, tops off, folks, the full Strawberry Moon will rise and shine on Wednesday, June 11 at 3:44 A.M EST, peaking at 20 degrees of Sagittarius. When is the Full Moon in June 2025 Peak lunar peeping will be moonrise on Tuesday evening, around 8:30 PM for New Yorkers. On account of this year's Major Lunar Standstill and our proximity to the summer solstice, the Strawberry Moon will be the lowest-riding moon we've seen in decades. Full moons are always synonymous with release and of things, both literal and figurative, being brought to light. But, in the truth venerating sign of Sagittarius, this baring and bringing is amplified, so brace yourself for the shocking and the shattering, my dudes. Full Moon June 2025 zodiac 6 As the embodiment of 'shoot your shot' ethos, the Sag moon asks us why we doubt our capacity to have everything we want. – Also, upon the altar of honesty, the Sag moon asks us to uphold the slow knowing of wisdom over unverified, albeit dopamine-massaging, hogwash. Where will the flaming arrows of righteousness strike you? Look to the house in your birth chart ruled by Sagittarius. Remember, folks, Sag is ruled by luck-doling, world-expanding, pocket-lining, optimism as opium Jupiter, meaning if you are open to receiving truth, no matter how rocking, it will ultimately aid and abet a necessary perspective shift or path switch. Further, when the full moon comes around this week, Jupiter will have just set up shop in Cancer, the sign of its exaltation, and a sign ruled by the moon. Meaning? This moon legitimately rules over itself and in that sacred sovereignty illuminates that we too are best suited to express and receive when we stay true, live free, and stand apart with curious compassion instead of furious judgment. Full Strawberry Moon 2025 6 During the full moon, we'll still be in the waning throes of Venus square Pluto. ILYA AKINSHIN – Symbolized by the centaur, Sagittarius represents the push and pull between animal need and divine aspiration. As the embodiment of 'shoot your shot' ethos, the Sag moon asks us why we doubt our capacity to have everything we want, and quite frankly, what the hell we're afraid of/waiting for. Sag is also the bugle call of the wild, pushing us to run barefoot through the forest — that low, irrefutable octave evoking our lustful and free-wheeling nature, begging us to let the good times roll. During the full moon, we'll still be in the waning throes of Venus square Pluto, where issues of self-worth and possessiveness, obsession and undermining, coercion and manipulation are being unearthed. What about yourself, do you still struggle to love, what are you excluding that's asking to be integrated? Where are you holding on for dear life, and how is that death grip draining you of your life force? Pluto is no picnic, yet the energy here is lost for the goal of greater growth. He taketh away so he can giveth back anew, and any relationships that are undone during this lunation were ultimately binding us to a past we have outgrown and a love we have outrun. Sag is also the bugle call of the wild, pushing us to run barefoot through the forest — that low, irrefutable octave evoking our lustful and free-wheeling nature, begging us to let the good times roll. We're definitely poised to hear some thunder roll and some truth spoken, but trust that whatever is spilled will, like blood, s–t, and ashes to soil, feed our personal growth and the transformational cycle of others. Keep your wits about you, my babies, and while you're shooting your shot, try not to shoot off at the mouth as warlord Mars in Leo squaring off against wild-out Uranus in Taurus, a rebellious aspect that engenders disruption, outbursts, and dramatic upheaval. Full Moon June 2025 6 Grand trines create synergy between planetary energies, and in fire signs, this synergy supports willpower and actionable vision. katyabogina – Further, this Full Moon plays host to a grand trine of fire (band name) as the Moon in Sagittarius will trine Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries. Grand trines create synergy between planetary energies, and in fire signs, this synergy supports willpower and actionable vision. Mars says fear nothing, the Sag moon says all things are possible, and Chiron says your pain is your power source. In turn, this moon asks us to speak true, walk tall and cross the threshold from victim to wisened, rewilded survivor. June's Full Moon 6 Rabble rousing, nature-loving Sag moon Rachel Carson. Getty Images The full moon occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun in its orbit around Earth, highlighting a zodiac polarity. This go-round, we have the sun in 'chaos as cardio, conversation as sacrament' Gemini opposing the moon in the 'may the road go on forever and the party never end' sign of Sagittarius. What unites these signs more than a love of nitrous balloons, s–t talking, and mischief is an allegiance to wonder/wander. Marine biologist, writer, and conservationist Rachel Carson, herself a Gemini sun and Sagittarius moon, embodies the open, outspoken nature of this axis. In her seminal book 'Silent Spring,' she writes, 'One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 'What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?' In honor of seeking and seeing, I hope you'll adopt a similar attitude of fleeting, feral rapture. Strawberry Moon Meaning 6 Because this full moon is taking place in a mutable sign, those with personal placements in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will feel its effects most acutely. Елена Сорокина – In a shocking affront to whimsy, the Strawberry Moon is not named for the moon's color but for the season of fruition to which it lends its light. According to the Farmer's Almanac, the full moon in June was known by the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, Lakota, Chippewa, Oneida, and Sioux tribes as the Strawberry Moon, as the first flush of summer coincides with the wild and widespread ripening of the fruit. Apropos of Gemini and Sagittarius being the zodiac's most shameless flirts, the Arapaho of the Great Plains call this moon the 'Moon When the Buffalo Bellows', a reference to the mating calls of those mythic creatures. Similarly, the Inupiat and Tlingit peoples of Alaska call June's moon the Moon of Birthing, as many a mammal coughs out their offspring this time of year to give their young a fighting chance at survival before the onset of winter. Full Strawberry Moon 2025 6 Apropos of Gemini and Sagittarius being the zodiac's most shameless flirts, the Arapaho of the Great Plains call this moon the 'Moon When the Buffalo Bellows' Ben – Neo-pagan religions call June's full moon the Planting Moon, and in Europe, it's known as the Rose Moon, as it's the time of year when the favored flower of poets and guilty parties blooms best. In many places and many tongues, this moon is a symbol of fruition and vitality, hope and abandon/abundance. Because this full moon is taking place in a mutable sign, those with personal placements in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will feel its effects most acutely. When is the next Full Moon? The next Full Moon is the Full Buck Moon in Capricorn rising on Thursday, July 10 at 4:37 PM.

War on rats gets ugly as hundreds of ‘eyesore' Empire Bins gobble up parking spaces in Harlem
These drivers are in for rat-ical change. West Harlem has become the first neighborhood in the United States to have all of its trash containerized in order to squash uptown rats' curbside trash feasts, City Hall officials said Monday – but the hundreds of UFO-like 'Empire Bins' are now permanently taking some coveted parking spots, The Post has learned. The latest cohort of European-style bins, which are mandatory for all residential properties with more than 30 units, were installed over the weekend — and have gobbled up about 4% of parking spaces in the neighborhood overnight, a city sanitation department rep told The Post. 'It takes up parking spots that were already hard to find,' said Harlem resident Erica Lamont, who claims she circled the blocks of Broadway and West 149th Street for a half-hour on Tuesday morning. 'The bins are the size of small cars and when you put two and three on a residential street, you are ultimately forcing people to force blocks away,' Lamont, 46, said. 'It's not placed in no standing or truck loading zones – they are placed in the few actual parking spots that residents could get,' said Michelle R., a 40-year-old dog sitter in the neighborhood. 'I like the garbage cans, but I feel bad for the people that normally park their cars there.' Other locals, like Harlem resident David Jones, simply blasted the bizarre look of the gargantuan containers. 'It's an eyesore,' said Jones, 40. 'It's right there in front of your face. I'm neutral. If it does the job then let's applaud it — If it doesn't, then let's get rid of them and come up with something else.' Some locals previously told The Post the massive receptacles clash with the neighborhood's aesthetic, even though they may be needed to scare away rats. The pilot program, which spans Manhattan's Community Board 9, includes 1,100 on-street containers for about 29,000 residents living in properties with over 30 units, as well as about half of properties with 10 to 30 units that opted to use the bins. The locked bins are accessible to building staff and waste managers via 'access cards,' and have been serviced by automated side-loading trucks since Monday. 'Rat sightings in NYC are down six months in a row,' a DSNY rep told The Post. 'This is the exact same period that residential bin requirements have been in effect. Containerization WORKS, and there is no reason that other cities can have it and New York can't.' But while citywide rat sightings are down, Manhattan's Community Board 9 has seen a 7.8% jump in rat sightings compared to this time last year, according to a Post analysis of 311 data. Still, City Hall hopes the new bins will end the curbside rat buffet fueled by garbage bags lingering on residential streets — which uptown residents say have made it nearly impossible to walk on some streets at night. 'When there's trash on the sidewalk, there's rats—plain and simple. And yet for years, City Hall acted like trash cans were some sort of sci-fi/fantasy invention,' said Council Member Shaun Abreu, Chair of the Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management. 'Now with full containerization in West Harlem and Morningside Heights, we've got clean bins, no more sidewalk piles, and fewer rats. We fought like hell to make this happen, and now we're proving it works.' Harlem resident Rick M. said he hopes the new containers are effective as residents have historically had to move quickly past piles of street side trash 'because you don't know what may run out. 'I've seen rats run from one big pile to another so it's nice to not have to walk by piles of trash,' the 30-year-old said. 'The rat problem was so bad here that humans couldn't be living here — they'd be attacking you right here,' lifelong Harlem resident Shanice Day told The Post at Morningside Avenue and 124th Street. Day, 39, recalls rats as big as cats 'like Master Splinter rats from Ninja Turtles' that would chew wires off people's cars — and attributes the Empire Bins to a rapid decrease in rodent sightings. 'What I can honestly say is we are almost rat free,' she added. 'If people are upset about the bins they're crazy, because they are a big help.' But Harlem resident Wise Grant, 64, warns the containers are only as effective as those who use them. 'It slows them down but it's not a way to get rid of them,' the retired voting machine technician said. 'It's up to the individual people. People throw food on the floor and it feeds them.' 'That's what people do on the streets. They don't care … They have to care about where they live.'
