This month's Full Moon occurs in tropical Sagittarius and features a wide square with Saturn in Pisces. The Sagittarius/Gemini polarity highlights curiosity, stimulation, and the human propensity to increase experience and enlarge an understanding of the universe. Yet, Saturn's square adds some limitations and containment.

The Full Moon dynamic always correlates with personal and collective crescendos of various kinds, and within the bounds of the Sagittarian archetype, there is a build-up and breakthrough related to an expansive vision, outward reach, or faith-based motivation to pursue a mission, dream, or calling.

While Saturn's square has some conflicting correlations with the Sagittarian pursuit of expanded consciousness, awareness, and experience, its presence here indicates that consistent efforts are paying off. Yet, we're unlikely to feel completed and fully accomplished under the Saturn square dynamic.

If you struggle to see the positive through this Full Moon, focus on the accomplishments and supportive frameworks currently in your life. And there is always a choice to frame challenges and hardships as valuable experiences for growth, as well as utilizing limitations to narrow potential options or focus. If your desired expansion meets some pushback or blockage, go back to the drawing board and continue working away.

Saturn's message here seems to suggest that the deeper purpose and meaning behind our efforts will blossom through staying committed to our spiritual path, no matter how difficult it may be. However, while there is still more to do at this juncture, something is beginning to emerge, and some results reveal themselves. Keep your faith and keep pushing through.

I’m sure that you’ve noticed by now that we live in a reality that expresses itself through duality. A Full Moon illustrates this principle dynamically. In astrology, we associate the Moon with a receptive impulse and the Sun with an active impulse. The Moon receives and reflects while the Sun actively asserts its radiance. This month’s Full Moon occurs in tropical Sagittarius. It also conjoins (makes an alignment) with the planet Mars which is currently retrograde (appearing to move backwards until the end of June).
 
A Full Moon is a moment of culmination; it brings something to a head. It can be a time of higher energy and momentum. The Moon relates to our mood at any given time, and how we feel around a Full Moon can be an indication of what is arising or what has been repressed. During this Full Moon, unresolved anger or fear may surface. It may equally bring to light desires for adventure, whether those adventures are palpable or of the mind need not matter. Exploration of the universe can happen both inwardly and outwardly. While Mars is retrograde, we are in a process of redefining passion, desire, and appropriate action. We are building the momentum needed to set ourselves on a new path for the attainment of what we really want in life.
 
And that requires courage and bravery to step up to the challenge and claim what is rightfully ours. But a Full Moon is also a moment of compromise and reconciliation. This is further punctuated by the opposition from Venus to the Moon and Mars. Appropriate action is understanding how much force one should use--when to assert ourselves and when to back off. Venus in Taurus asks that you be mindful of your body and its limitations, and also that space be created for silence, peace and rejuvenation. The power of this Full Moon is such that you may feel the need to expand outwardly, feeling as if the world just isn’t big enough for what’s possible.
 
Jupiter square Saturn suggests that you be cautious and realistic with this Full Moon energy. Be mindful of being too sure of yourself and your beliefs. The Sun in Gemini suggests doing more research and talking things out with others to see their point of view. Venus in Taurus also suggests that you trust your instincts and the wisdom of your own body too. Try not to get too caught up in being right or dogmatic. Be wary of others doing the same. If getting what you want ends up hurting others or excluding their point of view, it may be time to rethink your approach and find a compromise. And you may also realize that you don’t have to do it all by yourself either.

Mars is a powerful archetype, especially in a fire sign. If you wish to avoid conflict or butting heads during this Full Moon, then allow your Mars some healthy expression. The Moon so often conceals the energy of Mars behind the fear of not wanting to hurt others. And yet, hurting others for our own selfishness can turn ugly too. So, where does that leave you? It leaves you in that beautiful dance of duality, betwixt and between light and dark which must co-exist to co-create. Admit your desires. Be vulnerable. Talk things out with someone you trust. Set boundaries. Get your anger out through healthy physical expression. Say what you need to say, but realize that your viewpoint isn’t absolute. And don’t lose sight of the seemingly infinite possibilities which can be explored with those you truly love.

I'll leave you with this video of the late, great comedian Bill Hicks who had the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Venus in Sagittarius.....
