On Monday, the Sun entered Gemini where it will be until June 20th.
As the languid daze of Taurus season, where flowers met flesh, fades into memory, Gemini season bursts forth, electrifying the air with the energy of a thousand dragonflies. Gemini rules the liminal space between spring and summer, and the wind whispers to us about the long, adventurous days ahead, inviting us to dance, laugh, and explore under the vibrant, curious influence of the Twins. The energy is frenetic, if not a bit overwhelming, as several planets bid farewell to Taurus and make their grand entrance into Gemini - the most notable being our big, gassy daddy Jupiter. More on Jupiter’s ingress to Gemini (and SO MUCH OTHER movement happening in the sky this week) below for my paid subscribers! Before we get into that I wanted to share some Gemini 101 and an overview of this week’s Sagittarius Full Moon.
Opposite of information-gathering Gemini sits wisdom-seeking Sagittarius. This axis balances curiosity with philosophy. Gemini, the mutable air sign, is all about gathering and sharing as much information as possible. It's our inner collector of facts and gossip who is endlessly curious. Sagittarius, the mutable fire sign, is all about seeking of truth and expanding horizons. It’s our inner philosopher and adventurer. The Gemini-Sagittarius axis represents the journey from gathering information to synthesizing it into wisdom, from exploring ideas to applying them to our lives, and from adapting to our environment to seeking out new horizons.
On Thursday, May 23rd at 7:53 am MST, we welcome our yearly Full Moon in Sagittarius, illuminating the Gemini-Sagittarius axis in our charts and bringing some delicious tension between our micro day-to-day moves and our big, worldly belief systems. Where do you feel a harmonious flow between the small moments and your bigger vision...and where is there some friction that needs tending? This Full Moon is an open portal to courageously express the ways you want to expand beyond your current existence. How can you start embodying a more authentic, uninhibited version of yourself that's already inhabiting those lush dreams? And more importantly, what do you need to release to step into that embodiment?
Full Moons are the harvest season of the cosmic calendar - a ripe moment to reap what you've been diligently sowing since the Sag New Moon last December, release anything that's no longer serving you, and celebrate all you’ve achieved in these last 6 months. With the fiery philosophical musings of Sagittarius lighting up the sky, it's prime time to get boldly honest about shedding any dusty old beliefs, rigid ideologies or limited philosophies that are constraining your expansion.
Since this lunation is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, who is currently sitting pretty with Venus, the planet of desire, there's a strong air of jasmine-scented hope and optimism about your dreams and desires. Jupiter and Venus sit at the final degree of Taurus where they are ripe in their final moments of pleasure-seeking. Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion, is winking at them, creating a rose-colored haze. This lunation whispers sweetly into your ear to loosen the grip on old thought patterns so you can move toward new dreams and desires unabashedly.
I find that Sagittarius Full Moons always have a way of illuminating blazing NEW truths that require us to do some philosophical shapeshifting. My fav way to make said space? BURN THAT SHIT! Sag is a fire sign after all, so this lunation is basically begging you to write down allll those limiting beliefs and crusty old ideologies that are constricting your growth. Get them outta your head and onto a piece of paper so you can LIGHT THAT LIST ON FIRE! It’s a ritual that never gets old for me. May the flames transmute this energy into something new for you.
This is where the free part ends, but if you wanna know more about ALL that is happening this week (and y’all IT’S ALOT) you can keep reading for just $6/month which will also earn you my eternal love and gratitude.
