Full Moons in General

Full moons coincide with the culmination of the past six months' efforts. They involve tension between what is felt physically or emotionally and what is known or seen.

The sign in which a particular full moon occurs corresponds to a different life area (or "house") for each person depending on one's rising sign. Use the Topics by Rising Sign section at the end of this article to identify which area of your life will be coming to fruition at the time of this full moon.

If you had set intentions six months ago during the new moon in the same sign, use this full moon to take stock of how those plans have worked out. Whether you'd set intentions or not, think about which approaches have served you, and which need to go in order for you to reach your goal. Then plan to drop whatever has proven to hinder your progress over the next six months. Focus on proven, functional approaches.

This Full Moon's Chart Features

  • Moon in Sagittarius' third decan: This full moon coincides with the culmination of determined, unrelenting action fueled by one's beliefs about how the world works.

  • Sagittarius' ruler Jupiter in Aries' first decan copresent with Aries' ruler Mars: Enthusiasm for independence and a fighting spirit inflame the belief-fueled actions described in the previous bullet. Watch for a tendency to spark unnecessary conflicts.

  • Sun in Gemini's third decan: Recent weeks found us exploring myriad options, but the present need to pick one and commit to it causes tension. We are stretched, pulled in two directions at once.

  • Gemini ruler Mercury direct in Gemini's first decan: After weeks of deliberation, our ability to think through and communicate about that difficult choice is sharp and nimble. However, we're still inclined toward looking for more options rather than narrowing them down.

  • Sun and Moon square Neptune in Pisces: Imagination, illusion, or confusion about what deserves our devotion further complicates the tension between needing to make a choice and needing to take action.

  • Saturn in Aquarius sextile Moon, trine Sun: A rule, a boundary, or an obligation that is under reconsideration helps to resolve the tension between needing to make a choice and needing to take action.

TLDR Summary

This full moon coincides with the results of the past six months' effort to act in accordance with our beliefs in order to achieve a goal. A burning passion for sovereignty drives these actions, but also causes some to go overboard fighting for unworthy causes.

As there are so many options, there is some tension in choosing a singular goal. Difficulty discerning who or what is worth our devotion makes these choices more challenging. However, the limits imposed by reality, obligations and rules will help us narrow our scope and choose a path.

Recommendations

  1. Review the past six months, specifically regarding belief-driven goals and actions. Think back to what has happening during the Sagittarius Solar Eclipse back in December 2021, and how things have been going since then.

  2. Check the Topics by Rising Sign list below and think about the corresponding house topics as well. Consider the actions you've been taking in these areas of life and whether they are helping you achieve your goals.

  3. Keep what's working, discard the rest. Leave behind activities that aren't bringing you closer to your ideal vision for belief-driven goals and actions in the life areas specified by the rising sign list. Focus your efforts on those approaches that do work.

  4. Take that chip off your shoulder. If you find yourself getting riled up, pause, take a few breaths, center yourself, and figure out if this issue is really worth fighting for, or if it's ultimately a petty distraction from causes that are actually worth your time and energy. For example: arguing with a stranger over a political issue will probably achieve little, but calling your representative, volunteering for non-profits or organizing with like-minded others will more likely achieve results.
