Full Moon In Sagittarius- 29 May 2018 - Carmen Di Luccio
Considering The Big Picture
We are having a Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 29th 2018 at 2:20pm Universal Time. This marks the peak of the Moon cycle which initiated on May 15th when we had a New Moon in Taurus. The energies of a Full Moon may start to become noticeable in the days leading up to it and in the days following, however, it is strongest in the 12 hours before and after. Full Moons also influence how things play out over following two weeks.
As discussed in some of my previous content, Uranus had entered Taurus on May 15th when the last New Moon occurred. It is possible that some of the things that have transpired over the last two weeks may be the beginning of something that will develop and continue to play out for the next 1-2 years.
This depends if Uranus is making strong connections to planets and points in your natal birth chart between now and August. It is possible that there could of been seeds planted or new awareness of something literally occurring on May 15th that may be directly related to how this energy may unfold for you.
Full Moon In Sagittarius Opposite Sun In Gemini
We have been in Gemini season since May 20th/21st which will last until the solstice on June 21st when the Sun enters Cancer. Gemini is an Air sign ruled by Mercury. It is social, communicative, articulate, curious, clever, informative, quick witted, and dualistic. Negatively, it can be gossipy, inconsistent, superficial, insincere, and too much in the mind without consideration of the heart.
The Full Moon in Sagittarius is opposing the Gemini energy. Sagittarius is a Fire sign ruled by Jupiter. It is adventurous, worldly, philosophical, idealistic, jovial, passionate, optimistic, expansive, outspoken, and free spirited. It is also associated with beliefs, travel, publishing, and marketing. Negatively it can be arrogant, preachy, exaggerating, irresponsible, reckless, and can overdo things without taking potential consequences into consideration.
Both Gemini and Sagittarius are both associated with learning, information, and teaching. The difference between the two is that Sagittarius is more broad minded and invested in its own experiential or idealistic perspective. Gemini is more factual with information and details, generally from other sources, but may lack development in its own perspective. Also Gemini represents more of the local and immediate environment, while Sagittarius is the world at large. Both signs can be adaptable yet scattered.
The Sun is aligned with the star Aldebaran and Moon is aligned with Antares which are both known as 'Royal Stars'. I generally only consider major stars when doing natal astrology with clients, but not frequently in my articles because their influence and meaning is not as relatable as other astrological factors. However, this Full Moon being tightly aligned with stars like this is rare and could suggest that some of the oppositional energy can also play out noticeably around us among leaders and influential people.
Full Moon Square Neptune Which Is In A Water Grand Trine
This Full Moon is applying a wide square to Neptune in Pisces. This can stimulate confusion which can also be between our emotional needs and ego needs, or between ourselves and others. It some cases it can debilitate actions, direction, drive, as well as amplify the already potentially scattered energy of the signs involved in this Full Moon. Neptune can also trigger escapism, avoidance, clumsiness, and flaky energy. If you have to do any tasks that are important for you to be mentally attentive, you may need to put extra effort in doing so to avoid problems.
Sagittarius' ruler Jupiter is in a trine with Neptune which strengthens the positive qualities of this planet. This can also be expansive, experiential, and productive with creative, spiritual, or compassionate pursuits. It can even have a magical vibe. Both the Full Moon in Sagittarius and the Neptune configurations work best when we consider the big picture, get out of our heads (when appropriate), overcome our fears, flow with challenges, and trust our intuition/feelings.
Venus in Cancer is also connected to Jupiter and Neptune forming a water grand trine...
