Full Moon in Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the king/queen of adventure while being the most extroverted introvert. Sagittarius also loves honesty, even if it hurts your feelings. They tend to not hold anything in and at times can be a little too blunt.
The full Moon in Sagittarius has the power to help you understand which fears need to stay and which ones should go. It also opens up the door to believing the best can happen. We spend much of our time “what if-ing” ourselves and envisioning the worst-case scenario. This catastrophic thinking only serves to block our ability to manifest and recognize best-case scenarios. Worrying about the future does not help you in any way. It may feel like you are preparing for different scenarios or controlling outcomes, but really you are just depleting your energy.
Fear is an interesting emotion. It serves us well during crucial times of our lives but also blocks our growth when it governs all of our decisions. When feeling fear, ask yourself if it is really warranted. Is there a genuine threat to your well-being, or is fear misplaced? What fear is essential to keep you safe, and what fear is blocking your growth or preventing you from following your intuition?
Being present and assuming that the best will happen is essential to working with this full Moon. Challenge yourself to remain in this state of mind for at least the day. When intrusive thoughts enter, counter them with affirmations that state the opposite.
What can I expect with this full moon while the sun is in Gemini?
Of all the opposing signs, Sagittarius and Gemini are the most similar. They both ask us to be curious, widen our perspectives, and connect with others to learn and unlearn. We are working with both of these energies as the Sun sits in Gemini and the Moon sits in Sagittarius. As these two oppose each other for our full Moon, we are given the opportunity to shed both Gemini’s and Sagittarius’s lower vibrations and embrace the higher ones.
With the power of the full Moon, we shift stagnant energy that has blocked our efforts to grow and manifest our intentions. Full Moons are powerful times for release. It’s up to you to decide what you want to shift this day and allow the Moon to help you make these changes.
Gemini governs our communication. This energy shows up when we are exchanging information and connecting with the world around us. When we align with the higher vibrations of Gemini, we remain openminded and curious. We understand that our knowledge is limited and everyone is our teacher. Gemini’s highest vibrations are that of a researcher—inquisitive, nonjudgmental, and open to all possibilities.
Gemini’s energy also moves quickly and allows us to immediately scan an environment, a project, or even an email for details. When we align with the opportunities Gemini presents, we become fascinated by the world around us, desiring to know everything we can about its mysteries. We become the observer, which in turn makes us less reactive to our emotions. Gemini’s high side allows us to detach from our emotions while remaining present with them. When we are less reactive to our feelings, they lose the power to control us, becoming merely information.
This nonreactive state allows us to continue learning without closing our minds due to fear, misunderstanding, or anxiety. It also allows us to receive messages from the Universe. When we are open to different forms of communication, we open ourselves to receiving signs from the world around us. Gemini’s energy can help us receive much-needed information on our paths if we are willing to acknowledge it.
Every energy has a low and a high side. Gemini’s low, or shadow, side includes judgment, close-mindedness, and ungrounded energy. When we align with this side, our nervous energy takes over and we become fearful of the world around us. The mind races from one thought to another, with nothing to center it. We react to our emotions either with anxiety or by numbing ourselves so we feel nothing at all. In this state, we cannot correctly process our feelings and they wreak havoc behind the scenes.
In an attempt to balance this lower vibratory state of Gemini, we often overanalyze and overthink everything. To control the anxiety, we inundate ourselves and the people around us with questions while we look for answers. We ignore intuition and insist that logic is the only way. We also miss signs and messages that can give us information from the Universe. We disconnect from universal wisdom and our inner knowledge.
If you find yourself aligning with the lower frequencies of Gemini on this full Moon in Sagittarius or at any time, ground yourself through your breath and body. Do some yoga to connect with your physical energy and take yourself out of your head. Try to feel your emotions, even if they scare you. Rely on the communication Gemini offers to journal, talk to a friend, or listen as someone talks to you.
Tomorrow’s ritual will be to release fear, anxiety and anger.
