Super Full Moon in Sagittarius — the article

On June 14th at 7:52am EDT, the Full Moon in almost 23.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect the moment the Moon entered Sagittarius, early on Sunday evening, June 12. This month’s Full Moon is also known as the Strawberry Moon — the last Full Moon in Spring.

In addition, this Full Moon is also a SuperMoon. These occur when the Moon is either Full or New while at its closest distance to the Earth and are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactivity and greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.

For the next two weeks, we seek balance, as we become more aware of something that needs to be brought into alignment or integrated. The balance in question is between our mental processes — symbolized by Gemini — and our quest for a larger truth or meaning (linked to Sagittarius) ==> If you are already a Member of my online community, you can learn more about this month’s Super Full Moon, just click here to watch my video!

Saturn in Aquarius is still exalted, although the planet is now in its Retrograde motion and forming a sextile with the Moon in Sagittarius, while Neptune in Pisces squares the Full Moon polarity. The ruler of Gemini (Mercury), and the ruler of Sagittarius (Jupiter) make a Sextile to each other. Mercury is in an exalted degree and Mars aligns with Chiron in Aries. All of this plays a crucial role in this Full Moon chart.

More about the specifics in a moment, but one thing to remember in general: Full Moons are always times of awareness and culmination. We see things that we have not seen before and get a chance to make some changes if we don’t like what we see.

So think back to the New Moon phase that started on May 30th: What seeds were planted at that time? What has “sprouted” since?

Let’s first talk about the Sagittarian-Gemini polarity:

At its highest vibration, Sagittarius shows us a wider perspective, one that has us looking beyond facts and learned knowledge to our direct life experiences and the wisdom gained thereby. It’s all about seeking a higher truth, and a higher meaning for life’s challenges — a philosophy that would help us understand life’s trials and tribulations.

So that’s Sagittarius’s highest vibration — what of its shadow side? When we suppress this energy inside of us, we become…

When we suppress this energy inside of us, we become unquestioningly attached to our belief systems and the stories we tell ourselves about life — and therefore self-righteous — perhaps we even persecute those who differ in their point of view. We are also more easily susceptible to excesses of all kinds.

Now let’s look at Gemini: at its highest vibration, this sign helps us stay connected to our immediate environment and “day-to-day mind” — processing and sharing as much information as we can, as quickly as possible — we stay curious, constantly looking for ways to learn what we need to connect all the dots and communicate intelligently.

When we suppress the higher vibration of the Gemini energy, we likewise move into its shadow side: superficiality, talking without listening, chattering randomly, sharing information without substance or meaning, collecting lots of facts but having little knowledge, staying busy so the mind doesn’t get bored, and allowing the mind to dominate our physical, emotional & spiritual connection to life.

Ask yourself: What is the difference between information and interpretation? What might change for me if I questioned my assumptions and what I think I know? Who do I think I am? Why are things the way they are? What new information might I spot if I stepped back and took a wider view?

Let’s talk about the specific aspects of this Super Full Moon chart:

Saturn in Aquarius is still exalted, although now in its Retrograde motion, and sextiles the Moon in Sagittarius. 

Saturn’s exalted state asks us to take a much closer look at the responsibility for our part in the collective, turn a critical eye to everything that we envision for our future, and adopt an objective, scientific approach.

Given that Saturn is also in its yearly Retrograde motion since June 4th, we are asked to turn inwards and take a look at our current long-term commitments and limitations (in connection with our communities & affiliations), and start restructuring anything that has slipped out of alignment with who we have become over the last 18 months.

We are individually and collectively invited to clarify our thoughts. What are we manifesting currently with the thinking that is taking place individually? How about collectively?

Saturn & Pluto are both currently Retrograde, indicating that we might want to take a closer look at our inner processes around our visions for ourselves and our various networks and affiliations, around feeling empowered out there in the world, and around trust in our own authority.

Ask yourself: What if I paid 5% more attention to my inner state? What’s my inner process around embracing or at least acknowledging my own and other people’s limitations? What if I took 5% more responsibility for who I’m being, and how that makes me feel? Who have I put in charge of what I feel? Or experience? To whom have I delegated the decision of what’s best for me? Who gets to decide how empowered I feel?

As best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things emotionally, physically, and mentally; there is no rush unless you decide there is.

Saturn’s Sextile to the Moon in Sagittarius gives us an opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, focus on the bigger picture, or simply commit to something that gets us excited about the future.

Ask yourself: What gets me excited about the future? What commitments am I ready to make? Where are my opportunities for collaboration? How might a mature approach serve me with those connections? What am I willing to learn at this time?

This Super Full Moon chart also has a T-square: Neptune in Pisces becomes a Focus Point, as it squares the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Gemini. This asks us to stretch and grow by releasing anything that no longer supports our spiritual/mental growth. We may have a tendency to underestimate situations or be in denial about their impact on us; our expectations of ourselves and others might likewise be unrealistic.

Sagittarius signifies what we have come to believe, based on our childhood, education, religion, and cultural conditioning, while Neptune and Pisces encompass what we know in our heart and soul.

As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others; seek to understand before seeking to be understood. Do your best to quiet your mind and open your heart. Be sensitive as well as honest — and beware of misinterpretations!

Ask yourself: What might be the best way to distinguish between what I think, what I believe, and what I simply know? Might my intuitive, divine energy help me be realistic about how much I can expect of myself right now?

How can I honor my introverted and extroverted natures equally? What if I had no judgment about moving faster or slower? What if I tuned into my feeling body for a moment and took a break — or at least slowed down a little? What might feelings of overwhelm have to teach me about a gentler and kinder approach towards myself? What if I practiced being compassionate and kind with myself and others for the next 60 minutes?

We will talk in more detail about Neptune in Pisces on June 18th, in my next Forecasting Forum — and in particular, how the upcoming Station & Retrograde phases will impact our own birth charts.

Back to the T-Square: Given that the empty leg of this T-square lands in Virgo, we are invited to bring our compassionate, loving hearts to our daily work & health routines — and to make choices from a place of discernment, and neutral clarity, rather than from a place of judgment.

Ask yourself: What might I experience if I released all judgment towards life and its paradoxes? How might my open heart help both others and myself achieve more clarity? Could I combine the kindness of heart-energy with the clarity of mind-energy?

What if simply making a list of anything that feels overwhelming could help me be more present and connected to the flow of life? Could I allow for the timing of things as they unfold, trusting that everything on that list will be created eventually?

What might be possible if I embraced my intuition and sensitivities on a daily basis? How might a compassionate approach serve me at this time? Could I be kind, loving, and discerning at the same time?

Since Virgo is also associated with health routines, you might also ask yourself: What health routines would support my emotional wellbeing?

When investigating daily routines, it can be tempting to approach things from “good or bad”, “right or wrong”; instead, try asking yourself: What works? What doesn’t? What do I see when I look at it all through kind eyes? Through a lens of practical neutrality?

Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is in 0 degrees of Gemini at the time of the Super Full Moon. This is an exalted degree, and Mercury is also in its own sign, so it has some potent energy to it.

Mercury is also still in its post-Shadow phase (Retrograde phase ended on June 3rd) and was last in 0 degrees of Gemini on the day of the Solar Eclipse (April 30th), and then during the Retrograde phase as well around May 21st.

Think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any conversations that I need to revisit? Was there any information (especially in connection with learning or understanding something) that I wanted to go after?

With Mercury in such a heightened degree, we are learning that listening is just as important as speaking, maybe even more so. We are also invited to remain open-minded, and aware that there is always more to learn — no matter how much we already “know” or think we know.

Ask yourself: What if I deliberately communicated with more clarity? With my mind 5% more open?

Might listening 5% more attentively help to create better exchanges? What information am I receiving and processing that could support my understanding of things 5% more?

Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is currently in Aries, and sextiles Mercury in Gemini. This combo creates a possibility for expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning. And the more we learn, the harder it is to judge, objectify, or abuse others.

As with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. Ask yourself: What could I do that would instill confidence in my exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored? Am I ready to expand my mind? My thinking? How might a courageous attitude support me at this time?

Last but not least, I would like to talk about the Mars/Chiron alignment in Aries. This combo might indicate a feeling of restlessness and impatience, become demanding, or hard to please; we tend to feel like we are not enough, that progress is too slow, and we are tired of waiting.

Ask yourself: Am I moving toward or away from exhaustion? What might shift if my masculine “doing-energy” stood in service to my intuitive, receptive feminine? What might a holistic approach make possible?

We may also more easily feel triggered by others. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I practiced being kind to myself around those triggers?

How could I create 5% more understanding of my relationship to “masculinity” and the expression of anger? What might a natural and confident expression of anger look like to me? How could anger serve me? What does a healthy expression of anger look like? Could I allow myself and others to express anger as long as it is not destructive? What might that look like? How might that feel? What would “courage” do?

To sum it all up: This Super Full Moon reminds us of our interconnectedness, and how our attention, our focus, and beliefs shape our experience of reality. 

Ask yourself: What if I focused 5% more on my connectedness with other humans?

This Super Full Moon also invites us to further widen our access to empathy, intuition, and inspiration. Compassionate communication and creative thinking work best over the next two weeks.

If something resonates with you, it means it is aligned with your energy, so move toward that which resonates and away from that which does not. There’s no need for “judgment” here, simply listen to your physical body or your feeling body, heed your inner guidance, and ask yourself: Where have I been getting drained? Where do I get recharged? Where lies the path of least resistance towards myself?

The next two weeks require some courage, communication, and compassion. It’s best for us to move forward slowly but surely, knowing that our sense of balance must come from within, and (as best as we can), staying rooted in the inner knowing that all is well, no matter what we perceive or tell ourselves about those perceptions.

Ask yourself: What kind of experiences outside of my everyday routines might widen my perspective and understanding of life? Who supports my journey towards greater self-realization? Could I allow any such connections to grow stronger and more meaningful?
