Full Moon in Sagittarius 2014 “The Tears of a Clown” Smokey Robinson
The Full Moon in Sagittarius aims high and wide to shoot for the Moon and reach for the stars. The Full Moon in June is also known as the Strawberry Moon and the Rose Moon. The Full Moon in Sagittarius emphasizes exuberant Sagittarius and multifaceted Gemini both dual signs open to embark on adventures down roads less travelled where its all about the journey and not the destination.
Sagittarius is the gypsy of the zodiac as summer sets in a change of scenery with vacation plans off to the wild blue yonder expanding horizons working on increasing growth and yearning to venture beyond borders onto distant foreign lands bent on seeing the forest for the trees, skirting the details, skimming and scratching over the surface.
The Sagittarius Moon is always a good time to put out your best intentions and make requests to your angels, guides or out to the Universe. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter is known to have easier access to increase opportunity by the sheer force of belief. The Sagittarius Full Moon gets to the truth of the matter with brutal honesty getting heated up on moral grounds, preaching and pressing on principles, philosophical musings and beliefs systems ingrained and run through their grooves ever repeating some inner mantra demonstrating how powerful and effective inciting repetitive intentions can be in manifestation.
The Full Moon makes a positive angle with the nodal axis intersection in Libra Aries boosting the Gemini Sun sleight of hand with more tricks up their sleeve and shape shifting coupled with the enthusiastic warmth of the Sagittarius Moon. Those who have Jupiter wired well in their chart know about looking on the bright side with cheery don’t worry be happy mantras to boost positive vibrations and overcome negativity such as anger, sadness and depression.
The Full Moon in Sagittarius makes an uncomfortable inconjunct with its ruler Jupiter, currently in Cancer which calls for some adjustments and compromises between some emotional circumstance and over stepping boundaries that may show up in the family (Cancer) and hitting on privacy and close to home issues deterring the Sagittarius propensity to let it all hang out and let loose with some reticence and resistance.
Cancer and Sagittarius are very different energy patterns and in difficult aspect can over extend and exaggerate missing subtle nuances, washing over important details where judgement is riddled with perception bias. Where Cancer can hold onto old emotions and grudges with a need to cling to attachments, Sagittarius helps to let bygones be bygones with a readiness to move onto the next chapter.
Jupiter in Cancer works more closely on the human condition with all its frailties and insecurities. Cancer as a water sign works on the subtler tuning in of the feelers and nuances of body language and undercurrents as a barometer. Emotions are things and if not processed can become bigger and grow ugly heads as anyone who can attest to feeling someone’s moods and miffs where emotions masked seep out of your pores or into your tissues.
Jupiter in Cancer keeps us in touch and reminds us the pursuit of happiness and chipper moods loses some authenticity when an inner state is denied. Studies do show that it is actually healthy to feel the flux of emotion and move through the cycles and full monty of emotion. The key is how we process or act on those emotions.
The Full Moon also separates from a square to Chiron Pisces where any wounding emotionally and with our ego the last week shows up in hard reaction. Misery loves company and so does any other emotional state where we tend to attract or attach to those in a similar place although the Sagittarius Moon gives us the chance to break free from any shackles that bind and rise above any defeat or denial.
Mars Libra squares Pluto Capricorn as it runs its last course through the cardinal cross showing several episodes of tragic gun violence the last week. The Mars Pluto war, hunt and military action just ups the ante for shoot to thrill and any manipulation tactics or confronting any demons but with Mars in Libra it still becomes a skill in dodging bullets, diverting a disaster or skirting issues as deflection is part of Mars Libra art of war tactic. Mars (war) in the sign of Libra (other, opponents, partners, relations) accentuates the ability to maneuver around opposing or potentially conflicting agenda, circumstances and personalities.
Venus in Taurus is practical, loyal and steady substance in relationships and a good time to manifest and draw in resources. Venus Taurus as an earth sign naturally connects to finances, money, earnings and possessions and is well placed in Taurus to attract and receive. Taurus works on the principle of expecting and Venus makes a favorable aspect with Jupiter in Cancer which focuses on growth and beautification around home and finances although Venus oppose Saturn may curtail and limit with a pull between obligations (Saturn) and pure pleasure (Venus) with a temporary cooling off period, need for alone time, loneliness and potential rejection in relationships.
Venus in Taurus has simple yet refined tastes. Taurus is attuned to what you value intertwined with self esteem and self worth where what you receive is what you believe you deserve. Ownership and sense of having where the urge for luxury and beautiful things whether fine expensive or treasured valuable items such as antiques and living amongst pleasing, decorative surroundings adds to a sense of security and stability that feeds an inner sense of peace and comfort.
Mercury retrograde in Cancer hits up the information age dynamic that seemingly puts the stress on emotional relating and how technology is creating more of a rift to make real connections. Mercury retrograde in Cancer takes a sidestep, retreat, detour or decoy to preserve a sense of safety. Mercury currently sits in a tense angle with Saturn putting some snags in communications. Mercury will retrograde back into Gemini the next few weeks, where its most at home in an air sign, rational and objective as opposed to an emotional needy water sign as Cancer which can get lost in sensitive subjective internalization, more inclined to take things personally and to heart. Cancer is protective of home turf and guarding sanctuary, nests, family dynamics as nurturing, mothering is getting extra attention.
