Full Moon in Sagittarius

The Full Moon in Sagittarius peaks this week, and with it comes a wave of illumination. Full Moons reveal: they pull what's been simmering beneath the surface up into the light. And they always come with polarity. The Moon sits in one sign, while the Sun stands directly across from it. This time, the Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun is in Gemini.

When we work with Full Moons, we are always working with both energies. Not just where the Moon is, but also where the Sun is. And not just the beauty of those signs, but their shadows as well. That's where the real insight lives.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Mercury brings curiosity, conversation, logic, and movement. It is fast, clever, and social. It wants to learn, to understand, and explore ideas. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter brings vision, belief, intuition, and the desire to expand beyond what we already know. It invites us to make meaning, to look toward something bigger, to trust in the unseen. Gemini asks us to observe. Sagittarius asks us to believe. Together, they hold the dance between intellect and faith, questions and truth, mind and meaning.

But when these energies are out of balance, we can get stuck in patterns that keep us disconnected. The shadow of Gemini can look like overthinking, indecision, staying busy with ideas, talking too much without saying what we really mean. The shadow of Sagittarius can look like forcing a message, judging others, being certain too soon, jumping to conclusions that feel good but aren't grounded in lived experience. One hides in constant questions. The other hides in premature answers. One avoids stillness by filling the space; the other avoids vulnerability by projecting knowing everything.

This Full Moon is asking us to look at where we're caught in those patterns. Are you staying in the mental spin of Gemini, gathering ideas and perspectives but avoiding the quiet space where wisdom actually lands? Are you hiding behind the boldness of Sagittarius, needing to be right, needing to know, needing to have a grand purpose when what's really needed is presence and honesty? Are you using your voice to appear confident instead of speaking from where you actually are?

And it is not just these two signs dancing. We are also feeling the energy of Jupiter having just moved into Cancer, and Venus now in Taurus. Venus in Taurus brings us back into the body. It wants slowness, softness, rootedness. Jupiter in Cancer expands our emotional world. It wants us to feel safe enough to feel deeply. Not just to talk about healing, but to live it.

And with Saturn, in Aries, is asking us to take responsibility. To lead ourselves. To be brave enough to start again, even if we are scared. Even if the path forward isn't fully formed.

All of this points to one thing: this Moon is asking for truth. Not just what you think or believe. Not just what you've been saying. But the deeper truth that lives in your body. The one that only emerges when you are quiet long enough to hear it.

 And that's why meditation is not optional right now. Especially not during a Full Moon. The light is up. The volume is high. All the things we usually tuck away are sitting right in front of us. Meditation gives us space to stay present with it instead of running. It lets us drop below the noise, the opinions, the pressure. It reconnects us with the part of us that is okay. The part that knows what's real, what's ours, what's next.

 You don't meditate to escape the moment. You meditate to stay inside it. To soften the edges. To meet your truth with kindness. Full Moons can bring so much to the surface. But the wisdom comes not just from what rises, but from how we meet it. And how we let it move through. This is the work. This is the invitation. This is the medicine. Sit with yourself. Even if it's uncomfortable. Especially then. 

Let the Moon do Her part. And then do yours.
