May 23, 2024: FULL MOON in SAGITTARIUS

It’s that time of the month again, dear reader, when the Moon reaches her fullness, shining this time in her full splendor in the fiery realm of Sagittarius, the sign of knowledge and wisdom! As with any Full Moon, emotions are heightened once more, but under the light of this lunation, a sprinkling and a twinkling of possibility emerges, bringing lighthearted, limitless energy, that is such a stark contrast to the previous Full Moon’s somber cosmic weather!

Sagittarius, as an archetype, embodies the mutable nature of its sign, existing on the border of numerous contradictions. Driven by an insatiable thirst for freedom and adventure, Sagittarius is always seeking new experiences and horizons. However, it can become firmly entrenched in its ideals and beliefs, exhibiting a surprising rigidity. Ruled by Jupiter, its optimism is boundless, enabling it to find the silver lining in any situation. Yet, it can experience moments of fiery, aggressive cynicism when its lofty expectations fall short.

Known for its philosophical nature, Sagittarius constantly explores the deeper meanings of life, a depth that contrasts sharply with its often blunt honesty, which can sometimes seem tactless and superficial. Its restless energy drives it towards perpetual movement and change, yet it can find profound satisfaction in life’s simple pleasures. This intricate interplay of traits makes Sagittarius a truly intriguing and complex archetype, capturing the essence of life’s contradictions, as it playfully gallops in and out of the line that separates two extremes.

Such is the nature of this Full Moon, dear reader. Wherever Luna falls in our charts, is where we are likely to experience the full spectrum of our emotions, from the depths of profound insights to expressions of lightness – even shallow pettiness! To further understand the texture of this energy, we next look into the conversations this lunation makes with other planets.

This Full Moon forms connections with 4 other planets, mitigating and enriching the overall mood of this period. First up, an out-of-sign opposition with a marvelous VENUS-JUPITER conjunction, an alignment which happens only once a year. With this Moon being ruled by JUPITER, which is currently locked in a tight embrace with VENUS, we are likely to experience an expanded need for love and connection – the lack of it makes us feel listless and restless, and we may feel inspired to wander a bit until we find something that mimics the sensation of connection.

We are compelled to dive headfirst into adventures of the heart, dear reader, helmet or not depends on individual appetite risks, but sitting on the bench is not an option!

The Moon also engages in harmonious conversations with two other dynamic powerhouses, the first of which is PLUTO, the planet of intensity and transformation. This renders us receptive to a shift in perspective, wherever this lands in our charts. We are sensitive to stagnation, and it is not unlikely that we experience a change of heart, as this energy orients us instead to a more fulfilling, more authentic path forward.

Lastly, this lunation exchanges sweet, harmonious energy with Neptune, the planet of idealism, altruism, spirituality and imagination. Everytime Luna gets caught in Neptunian fog, there is vulnerability and tenderness. Under harsh aspects, Neptune can represent deception and disillusionment. This connection however, is gentle, allowing the romantic dreamer in us to feel safe and supported enough take center stage under the influence of this lunation!

As this Full Moon bathes us in its radiant light, we are invited to embrace the dynamic and expansive energy that Sagittarius brings. It is a time to quench our thirst for adventures of the heart and mind, seeking out new horizons while welcoming the profound insights that come with a philosophical mindset. This lunation encourages us to balance our fiery independence with the desire for meaningful connections, finding joy in both movement and stillness. And, if along this path of adventure and enlightenment, we cross paths with love in whatever form, may we find the wisdom to respond accordingly!

Let this Full Moon guide you, illuminating your path with its fiery brilliance and golden insights. Embrace the energy, ignite your spirit, and let the magic of this lunation propel you to extraordinary heights! The universe is calling, dear reader! Will you answer?
