Sagittarius Full Moon – June 17, 2019; 1:31am PDT
Summer Solstice – June 21, 2019; 8:54am PDT
A Full Moon always brings closure or culmination – a time when something is completed. Where it falls in your chart shows you where in your life you will experience that ending. It can also bring to the surface things that we aren’t aware of, and in Sagittarius that can be the truth. Because of the building Saturn/Pluto conjunction occurring in January 2020, throughout 2019 we’ll be feeling as if some parts of our life are expanding, while others are contracting. If you’re not yet fully aware of this happening, this Full Moon is likely to make it obvious.
The planet Jupiter rules the sign of Sagittarius and will be widely conjunct the Moon. Everything Jupiter touches expands so this amplifies the energetic meaning accompanying the Full Moon. Neptune is slowing its speed in preparation for going retrograde at the Solstice. It is in a wide square to the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter at the time of the Full Moon which can bring some confusion, doubt, and the sense of being overwhelmed. How this can manifest in our lives is receiving a glut of information with no clarity and the inability to see the truth in what is being said. But Jupiter and Neptune are highly spiritual planets and ask us to see the deeper meaning in life events. This can be a time when we realize that we don’t have enough spirituality in our lives, or that the life we’re living is not as meaningful as we’d like. This energy can also bring itchy-feet syndrome and the urge to hit the road in pursuit of a dream.
What makes this Full Moon particularly powerful is that the Moon lies at the Galactic Center and Jupiter sits at the exact degree of the Great Attractor. From a spiritual perspective, the Galactic Center – the rotational center of the Milky Way – acts as a transmitter of Divine Consciousness. The Great Attractor is exactly what it sounds like. It draws things to it – us, energy, planetary bodies. This is a point in space that is very large, highly concentrated, and where time and space warp. It emanates freely in all spectrums and if we are aware and attuned to the frequencies, we will feel the pull. It can give us brilliant insights and is linked to Kundalini energy awakening. Both the Galactic Center and the Great Attractor are strongly associated with precognition and the evolution of consciousness. Creator energy projects from both of them and will be activated at the Full Moon in Sagittarius. Downloads that we get during this time will guide us to what is true in our lives and help us shift to the path that is most meaningful from a soul-perspective. We can expand beyond ‘normal’ limits when planets align with these powerful sources of creation.
At the time of the Solstice, June 21, 2019, when the Sun moves into the sign of Cancer, Neptune begins its three-month retrograde period. This is likely to reveal secrets. Neptune brings dreamy, woo-woo, other-worldly energy into our lives and can sometimes make us feel disconnected from our physical selves. Whenever a planet moves retrograde, its meaning is internalized. We can expect a strong desire to be connected to something sacred and divine during this time, but we still have to live in the third dimension. Be sure to spend time with your bare feet solidly on the ground. If you have difficulty handling the increased energy, reach out for help. Don’t feel as if you have to do it all on your own. Solstices and Equinoxes are powerful times in the year when the veil between our world and others is thinner. This is a time when we are able to perceive information from higher realms more easily. Pay attention!
