SAGITTARIUS FULL MOON - 11 June 2025
A Sagittarius Moon generally has quite a lively energy to it, as this is an enthusiastic, energetic, optimistic, adventurous fire sign! We also have Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius, moving into sensitive, home loving, nurturing Cancer a couple of days before, where it will remain for the next year. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning that it expresses the best of itself in this sign. This certainly adds some emotional nourishment to this Full Moon, as the Moon is in Jupiter’s sign and Jupiter is in the Moon’s sign. This Moon could help us to look at and release any beliefs about ourselves and life that we have inherited from our family, upbringing and childhood which might be holding us back from growth. It could help us to release old emotional baggage and to trust our own emotional wisdom instead of looking outside of ourselves for the answers to life’s questions.
Jupiter is the planet of growth, expansion and wisdom, and in Cancer it can help us to be more emotionally generous, emotionally intelligent, caring and trusting in human nature. We can really benefit from opening up emotionally and allowing ourselves to be more vulnerable. Our emotions always have a lot to teach us, and more so with Jupiter in Cancer. We are invited to honour our ancestors, connecting more deeply to our lineage and the wisdom it holds for us. This pairing can expand our capacity to truly care for ourselves and others and helps us to develop a greater sense of belonging, home, safety and nourishment. It could also help us to work on any unhealthy emotional attachments we might have, developing a greater sense of emotional security from within.
The Sagittarius Moon is forming a Grand Fire Trine with Chiron in Aries and Mars in Leo, which can be very healing and inspire us to be the best version of ourselves. Chiron in Aries is helping us to heal any wounds that we have about our identity and our right to exist and take up space, while Mars in Leo is helping us to express ourselves, doing what brings us joy and shine our light more fully. As such, this Moon can help us to heal any wounds around rejection, lack of validation, not being seen or heard, or being dismissed or discouraged from shining our light too brightly. We are invited to change the narrative, shedding our insecurities and wounded inner child, and to have the courage to be unapologetically ourselves, following our hearts, shining our light and expressing the fullness of who we are. It’s time to rewrite the story and move on.
There is some tension involved in this Moon, however. For a start, the Nodes of the Moon are forming a square to the Sun and Moon, forming a Grand Mutable Cross. The Sun in Gemini likes mental clarity and wants to understand and figure things out. It is our inner storyteller. The Moon in Sagittarius is seeking the truth, higher meaning and represents our emotional beliefs, some of which are simply not helpful or true. The South Node in Virgo is our tendency towards over-analysis and being hard on ourselves. The North Node in Pisces, however, is calling for us to let go of the mind, or the need to be right, or to have everything make sense, and invites us to simply trust in the unknown and unknowable. It asks us to have faith and trust in the flow of life and to still the monkey mind and surrender to what is, rather than how we think things should be.
We are called to let go of the old stories that have defined us, the beliefs that constrain us and to find a sense of acceptance and compassion for who and what we are, rather than being so hard on ourselves. We are being invited to let go of preconceptions, limiting beliefs, over-analysing and to stop trying to logically understand what is simply mysterious, magical and unfathomable. We are much bigger than these stories about ourselves that we have told ourselves and others over and over again, so that they have become embedded in our psyche. It is time to move beyond them and to start a new book.
Pluto is forming a dynamic square aspect to Venus in Taurus, exact on Monday 9 June, which could bring intense and transforming experiences around our relationships, self-worth and/or sense of material security. We could be called to recognise where we have chosen security and stability over authenticity, and where we are playing it safe and choosing comfort over soul growth. Pluto calls for us to be emotionally honest, stripping away self-deceit and daring to plunge into the depths instead of swimming in the shallows. If we are staying in a situation or relationship because it is safe and secure but no longer healthy for us, Pluto can force us to face the music and be true to ourselves, even if it is uncomfortable.
Saturn and Neptune are now both in Aries, sitting right next to each other. Saturn represents reality, control, discipline, boundaries, structure and form, while Neptune represents dreams, ideals, our imagination, fantasies, spiritual connection, and it dissolves boundaries. It is an interesting pairing, that’s for sure, as they are very different! In Aries, it could make us feel somewhat hermit-like and could even feel a bit isolating. There is the potential for feeling somewhat low or even hopeless, with feelings of futility. We could be forced to bravely confront whatever we have been avoiding or in denial about. This combination can help us bring our ideals and dreams into concrete form and act on them, so this is a good time to contemplate what we might want to imagine into being. This combo can help with spiritual discipline and manifestation.
This conjunction between Saturn and Neptune is also forming a dynamic square aspect to Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter wants to expand and grow, while Saturn limits and constricts, forcing us to rein it in and realise our limitations. We could be called to be realistic about what is possible, and we may also be forced to look at some of our beliefs about ourselves and our past without the rose-tinted spectacles. This could be a time of facing up to some hard truths, especially around any emotional patterns and beliefs formed in childhood and our emotional attachments. Jupiter in Cancer seeks a sense of family and belonging, while the other two planets in Aries remind us that ultimately we are responsible for ourselves and walk this path alone.
It does feel like a reality check is part of this Moon, as is a certain degree of accountability and some kind of deeper commitment to our emotional and spiritual growth. The Saturn/Jupiter square will be exact on 15 June, although very much building from Monday onwards. The Neptune/Jupiter square will be exact on 18 June, and could bring out our more idealistic, hopeful and trusting side, as these two planets have more in common. Those of us with personal planets and angles between 0° and 2° will be feeling the realistic, responsible, disciplined energy of Saturn, the optimistic, expansive, growth-oriented energy of Jupiter and the idealistic, dreamy, unifying energy of Neptune the most acutely, especially the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
The Sabian symbol for this Moon, at 21° Sagittarius, is a curious one: “A child and a dog wearing borrowed eyeglasses.” Which Dane Rudyar describes as “The use of imagination and make-believe in anticipating higher stages of development. This rather peculiar symbol seems to imply here that by imitating features belonging to a level of consciousness as yet unreachable, the process of growth may be accelerated. Eyeglasses symbolise intellectual development; the chiefs of primitive tribes in some instances have sought to impress their people by wearing spectacles without glass, or Western hats – simply because these objects seemed characteristic of a race of superior people. This is similar to the process of growth by identification with a “Master” or guru. In a sense it is mere pretending or make-believe, yet by wearing the “mask” of a god the medicine man at the time becomes for all practical purposes the incarnation of the god. Growth is always a hierarchical process, even if the growing entity is not aware of it. This is the first of five symbols constituting the fifty-third sequence. It suggests the value of LEARNING THROUGH IMITATION.”
The child and dog are using their imagination and making believe that they are very wise and mature! This all feels very much Saturn (maturity), Neptune (imagination) and Jupiter (wisdom). It does feel like we have a chance here to bring dreams into concrete reality, so this could be a good Moon to contemplate what we truly want for ourselves and set some realistic goals. What is actually possible, and what is merely fantasy? The Aries energy reminds that ultimately we walk this path alone and must first and foremost tend to our own needs and desires, while this Moon in Sagittarius reminds us that anything is possible – we are only limited by our own beliefs, fear and imagination. And we do seem to be called to look at any beliefs and old stories that might be limiting us and holding us back from living our full potential. “Onwards and upwards” says Sagittarius! What do we want the next chapter of our adventure to look like?
Much Love
