Sagittarius full moon May 21 2016 - Highlighting passionate thoughts, opinions & beliefs

Full moon 1st degree of Sagittarius on May 21 2:14 pm PDT is the climax to the emotional cycle and opposition in relationships that has been building since the last new moon two weeks ago. This is when there is a change and release process to certain situations of late. More emotional awareness and culmination to what's been trying to manifest; a change of circumstances for the next couple weeks and beyond.


The moon is with Mars, putting a lot of emotional energy on everything this planet is symbolic of including asserting beliefs and opinions (Sagittarius) that you're passionate about. Mars retrograde however, may not assert self in expected ways or feel satisfied, so frustration in outlets, debates, bickering and standing up for what you believe in, is peaking around now, even if only in one's own mind.  It's possible though that thoughts, feelings, opinions and beliefs could overflow into outer life, and within relationships so to help the emotional release & change process, setting people free for new focus and action that's on the horizon now.

Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius) has recently changed direction, slowly starting to move forward in Virgo which this full moon will help people feel that sense of change as we start to get a better idea of long term plans for whatever it is you've been personally focused on for the last several weeks. More information and details come into focus.

Saturn is retrograde in Sag so there is a level of serious contemplation around opinions and beliefs that this full moon will peak in tension as reality is very much under scrutiny these days, fighting for what we feel is "right" and dealing with mind boggling opinions beliefs and thoughts coming from others. Jupiter square Saturn, a balance between expansion and contraction, gives us slow progress forward. New awareness to what we feel committed to and obligated to arises with this full moon.

The sun, just went in to Gemini, changing the solar focus from the material world to intellectualizing thoughts and ideas, needing more communication and information, helping change and opening up to new possibilities that before, we might have been too reluctant to accept or ponder. The full moon opposite this point should bring emotional and intellectual understanding to what we've been uncertain about, or waiting on.

Mercury (ruler of Gemini) has been retrograde in Taurus last few weeks so all the information around our values and resource needs this year hasn't been fully available yet. However, this full moon will also trigger the release that holding period where action needs have been a little uncertain and we'll gain more awareness and information to what needs to be done next, that helps get us to where we want to go. Maybe you haven't been sure what direction you want to go next. This full moon will help with that.

There is a lot of adjustments to perceptions, thoughts and ideas as Mercury changes direction and moves back over old topics of the last month or so, a final pass moving us forward with long term plans that will have extra important affect on life as Jupiter will align with the karmic nodes of the moon for a final time, which is a rare karmic alignment giving opportunities for new ways of achieving abundance in our life, in whatever ways you personally value the most.

Mars is changing signs in the coming days, moving back into Scorpio reflecting new passionate desires and determination to get stuff done, also getting to the bottom of certain issues in your life that have been unresolved, holding progress back. Energy levels should increase, however Venus also changes signs into Gemini which peaks in opposition to Mars on Tues night before Mars changes signs the follow days. This lovers opposition will be like a secondary full moon climaxing Tues night which will finish the opposition release phase for relationships started on full moon as sexual tension is at max levels, perhaps over-flows with bickering and fighting if not expressing it physically through sexual fulfillment. Finding that sexual fulfillment is more of challenge with the opposition as the lovers are on opposite sides of the zodiac with different desires, unless honoring both sides, merging as one.

Venus in Gemini is a little flirt; a tease too. The feminine will be less fixed with material desires, moving on to what gets her off, intellectually. Sexual tension, communication, playfulness, wittiness and all that type of banter is likely. Problem is, she might spark the fire in the masculine only to get bored and move on to some other interest, or act like little miss innocent, leaving Mars all worked up with nowhere to assert the passion. Venus in Gemini needs variety of stimulation to stay happy and nice, including conversation. Also spontaneity, not being too predictable will help you keep her interest. Combine some short trips and little adventures while being a playful smart ass comedian, and goof ball, you might be able to find equilibrium between the sexes.

Whatever you do this next week will start to release the tension that's been building in your personal relationships as Mars finishes playing around with Venus and moves into Scorpio on May 27, reflecting more serious, intense, passionate, resourceful, determined and focused energy on what's important. Mars in Scorpio won't vibe well with Venus in Gemini, so get your pleasure on while you can.

By the end of May we should be feeling very mentally empowered and preparing to move forward in new ways as Mercury trine Pluto and North Node for final pass, fully transforming our perceptions after everything we need to know finally comes in with more understanding settling in. The next week will be working towards that, accepting and releasing what we've been attached to these past several weeks, no longer necessary.

Well, I'll leave it at that. Happy full moon!
