Full Moon in Sagittarius - Healing Through Creativity

 On Wednesday June 11 we have a Full Moon at 20 degrees of Sagittarius. Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs. In this case the Sun is in social and communicative Gemini and the Moon in adventurous and big picture thinking Sagittarius. During Gemini season we are focused on communicating with friends, learning new ideas, gathering facts and taking short trips or errands. The Full Moon in Sagittarius reminds us to not forget the forest for the tress and to take a step back and think about the larger ideas like philosophy, religion and politics. It also asks us to dream big and to imagine what grand adventures we want to have in the future. This makes this Full Moon a good time to look at our long term plans and re-evaluate our daily routines to see if they contribute to our overall goals.

This Full Moon has several positive aspects to it, including a trine to both Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries. Mars and Chiron are lending supporting energy to make this an uplifting and energizing time. Mars in Leo encourages us to take the lead and to express ourselves creatively. The Full Moon is asking us to examine our long-term goals, and Mars in Leo wants us to start taking action towards them. Chiron is the wounded healer and in Aries he wants us to look at where our sense of self-expression or individuality has been hurt. What can we do to facilitate healing in our lives? 

Also, on this day Mercury in Cancer is making a sextile to Venus in Taurus. This is a lovely aspect for creativity especially in the fields of creative writing, poetry or song writing. Mercury is about language and in Cancer, he wants us to express our feelings. With Venus the planet of love, beauty and relationships in earthy Taurus, this is best expressed through making art. Expressing our feelings of love and friendship is highlighted now, and especially so if we can do that by making art, music and poetry. Be open to inspiration this Full Moon.

The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon in "A Child and a Dog Wear Borrowed Glasses". This is a rather silly image of a kid trying on glasses and then putting them on a dog. But sometimes silliness and lightheartedness are called for. Don't take everything so seriously now. This speaks to how humour and joy can be healing for us. It also is about how children learn by imitating the adults around them. The child tries on glasses because he sees the adults wearing them and wants to try it out. If we are wanting to try something new, we have to follow those who have gone before. As the saying goes "fake it until you make it." You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You can learn from those who have gone before.

Overall, this is a very positive Full Moon that brings with it healing through creativity and lightheartedness. Express your feelings creatively and don't be so serious about everything. Take time to look at your long term goals and build some fun and adventure into your routine.
