Arrows to the sky, attention to the wind, and true to the front of the road, the Full Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius is approaching, reaching its peak on June 3 at 11:42 p.m. EST.
A full moon occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun in its orbit across the earth, in this orbit we’ve got the sun in “chaos and communion”. Gemini oppose the moon in Sagittarius’s raised sail.
The sun represents the ego and the moon the emo instinct. The different energies of those zodiac polarities can teach us loads about integration and approach.
The meaning of the total moon in Sagittarius
Sag lives to hunt the reality, and Gemini loves spilling tea, so be prepared for daring revelations and unceremonious delivery of data.
These themes are reinforced when Mercury, the planet of communication, is in conjunction with Uranus, the planet of radical change. When the mind (Mercury) and the manic muse/agent of chaos (Uranus) are in cahoots, we’re prepared to receive lightning inspiration and/or surprising/coming news.
We may even be tasked with delivering this difficult news (ugh), but under this sky, truth begs to be shouted out and secrets beg to be revealed.
What will be spilled, like blood and ashes in the bottom, will help our personal growth and the cycle of transformation of others. Amplifying this energy is death daddy Pluto in close opposition to Venus, the planet of attachment and assets.
Pluto is just not a picnic, however the energy here’s a waste for greater growth, takes away to have the ability to present back again, and any relationships that were severed during this lunation ultimately tied us to a past we grew out of and a love we are supposed to overtake.
Planets in the sport
Jupiter, the coin dripping drunken uncle of the zodiac and ruler of Sagittarius, is currently in the slow and regular, earning and laid down sign of Taurus.
On a full moon, Jupiter will be in conjunction with the North Node of Destiny. This influence drives us to enjoy what it means to live while laying the inspiration for all times and believing that we deserve the life we desire.
Here, to chop the music and shut the open bar, Saturn in Pisces forms a square with the moon in Sagittarius. Saturn is all about karmic debts, responsibility, and other sobering topics.
The theme is reveling with restraint, recognizing the arrow’s edge between letting the streak roll and being charmed by excess.
The moment between carousing incarnate and throwing up in a gas station bathroom with a stranger holding your hair. Do what you should and say what have to be said, but refrain from exaggeration.
Give desire words and wings
The energetic polarity of Gemini and Sagittarius is manifested in the Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, who’s himself the sun of Gemini with the moon of Sagittarius.
Lorca challenged convention, traveled far and lived the reality, making no secret of his sexuality or political opinions despite real and pressing threats to his life.
In line with his stars, Lorca wrote, “To burn with desire and keep silent about it’s the best punishment we are able to bring upon ourselves.” Now is just not the time to be silent, suppress lust, or limit your personality. Shoot, but be sure your aim is real.
Meaning of the Strawberry Moon
In line with Farmer’s AlmanacJune’s full moon is often known as the Strawberry Moon since the first blush of summer marks the time when the wild and widespread fruits reach maturity and are able to be harvested. The name was utilized by indigenous tribes including the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, Lakota, Chippewa, Oneida, and Sioux.
Speaking of Gemini and Sagittarius, that are mutable, threshold signs (and the zodiac’s most shameless flirts), the Arapaho of the Great Plains call this moon the “Buffalo Bellows Moon,” referring to the mating calls of those mythical creatures.
Similarly, the Inupiat and Tlingit peoples of Alaska call the June moon the Birth Moon because many mammals give birth to their offspring right away to present them the perfect likelihood of blooming before winter sets in. Neopagan religions call the June full moon the Planting Moon, and in Europe it’s often known as the Rose Moon since it is the time of 12 months when the Fibonacci flowers bloom.
In lots of places and in many languages, this moon is a logo of fertility and vitality. Get to bloom, birth, roar and be. Since this full moon is in a mutable sign, the fluctuating masses will feel its effects more severely.
