With the Moon culminating in the sign of philosophical Sagittarius, we are drawn to explore our feelings about what is right and wrong, while we contrast the current reality with our aspirations for a more positive world. Meanwhile, the Sun in the opposite sign of quick Gemini creates tension by distracting our collective focus with random ideas, rampant communication, and incessant chatter. Though we may want varied, technical solutions and practical strategies to fix our troubles, we also need a philosophical and spiritual, big picture perspective to feel secure in our lives now.

At its best, the Sagittarius energy feels independent, straightforward, optimistic, adventurous and righteous.

However, the opposition between the sun and moon now can have us feeling as if we have lost our own true perspective with all the noise around us . . creating pressure, overwhelm, anger and frustration.

We can best navigate this time and gain more clarity by honoring fiery Sagittarius, through becoming more aware of the big picture and connecting to a faith that ultimately we will somehow be okay, even when things may seem very wrong. It is also especially important to be sure to speak up in positive ways, because everyone is more secure when we know where we stand.

“It is during our darkest moments, that we must focus to see the light.”

Aristotle Onassis, business magnate

As always, these energies apply to groups of all sizes as much as they apply to individuals. So, be mindful that we are also talking about the best way to navigate a new balance between our fanciful theories or scattered thoughts and the practical action which is required to improve our current political, social, and economic situations. In this sense, the balancing required is not about watering down either approach but rather it is about fully honoring all true perspectives and finding good ways to meaningfully incorporate the best practices of higher-minded ideals with proactive strategies to actualize those goals in real life and time.

This Full Moon brings illumination and that often appears through any of Sagittarius’ preferred subject areas, which include: PHILOSOPHY, the quest for truth, HOPE, peace of mind, FAITH, higher guidance, RELIGION, prayer, NATURE, honest interactions, communication with spirit, INTUITION, personal expansiveness, EDUCATION, teaching, learning, STUDYING SOMETHING NEW, travel, FREEDOM, foreign matters, EXPLORATION, optimism, ADVENTURE, stepping beyond our comfort zone, TRUTH, speaking up, TAKING A STAND, righteousness, GOOD LUCK, positive expectations, SPONTANEITY, legal matters, ETHICS, morality, CONSCIENTIOUSNESS, conscience, CIVILITY, friendliness, GALLANTRY, generosity of spirit, MENTORS, higher education, WISDOM, seeking answers, PROBLEM-SOLVING, finding solutions, MOVING FORWARD, progress, new perspectives, and SPIRITUAL EXPANSIVENESS.

It may also be necessary to reassess outdated ideologies, as larger world issues arise to shake up any limited or isolated views that are inaccurate. Contemplate what matters most to you now, and also celebrate all you have accomplished and learned recently. Stay centered and consider new ways to leverage fresh and diverse ways of thinking . . this is a time to rethink old ideas about what you actually want and need while realizing you have more access to your desires when you look from a higher perspective.

Try to remember that whatever is happening in your life is occurring as part of your journey. Sometimes the details are pleasing and other times the lessons are difficult . .either way, there is always something to be learned. And being prepared is the secret to more easily navigating all of it, on the way to living your best life!

The full moon will be close to earth (and very visible in the night sky), which means it is considered a super moon. This particular lunar phase also comes in with many complementary and complicating aspects, which stimulate fast change for us individually as well as collectively.

Let’s look at the details:

1.) HEALING is starred.

Mars connects with chiropractic Chiron in bold Aries to enhance strong healing outcomes, when we take decisive action now.

And thanks to harmonious trines between the Sagittarius moon, healing Chiron and initiating Mars, both in Aries, luck and action unite for positive results for our health concerns. 

2.) FLEXIBILITY is key.

An awkward alignment between the moon and both Uranus and Venus may have sabotaging tendencies for those who are too rigid, impatient, or get overly caught up in preconceived ideas. You will come out ahead by letting go and just going with the flow this week. Enjoy the journey and you will more easily find the gifts along the way.

Lovely Venus is conspiring with two power planets. Both surprising Uranus in luxurious Taurus and magical Neptune in poetic Pisces are working with Venus to bring us happy rewards, when we are open to receiving them. Stay gracious despite any provocative interference from demanding Saturn, you may find riches bestowed upon you during this cycle.

3.) DISCIPLINE is boosted.

Direct any of your stubborn or driving energy toward a disciplined objective. You may find that your mood and mindset toward actually achieving new year’s resolutions or other personal goals is really strong right now. Harness that energy toward completion of practical tasks.

4.) STAY FOCUSED.

Clear perspective is needed so that we can get through all we are facing, but a challenging square between the moon and Neptune might instigate distraction and worry. Find the balance between being flexible about any nagging details while still staying true to your overarching focus on higher minded goals. 

Mental Mercury recently shifting into clever Gemini further encourages socializing, which you can use to your advantage when you are engaging in positive interactions.

Mercury in communicative Gemini brings varied ideas and lots of talk, which needs to be filtered through a bigger picture lens. Use this opportunity to connect and share important ideas with others who share your values and dreams, instead of engaging in thoughtless gossip or other unworthy distractions. Meanwhile, some identity issues may arise for healing, courtesy of solar configurations with healing Chiron, disciplined Saturn, mystical Neptune, and transformative Pluto. 

“Even if things are sometimes difficult there must always be good things to look forward to. Seeing you will be one of the big good things for me.”

Elise Valmorbida, Australian writer

The next new moon arrives in two weeks in the sign of Cancer. Cancer is the first WATER sign of the zodiac representing emotions. Cancer time of year is extraordinarily powerful for human development, family matters, women’s issues, nurturing, nourishing and healing.
