Sagittarius Full Moon

“Good fortune follows the benevolent not the reckless”

The 6/11 Sagittarius Full Moon shines a light on the importance choosing optimism, compassion and virtue over untamed power, manipulation and recklessness.

This lunation’s Tarot Majors include Temperance (Sag), Wheel of Fortune (Jupiter rules Sag), The Lovers (Gemini), The Magician (Mercury rules Gemini), The Sun (rules Gemini’s 3rd decan), & The World (Saturn rules Sag’s 3rd decan). The decans hold the compassionate Queens of Cups/Pentacles and the chapter-ending 10s of Swords/Wands.  These cards speak of alchemy and balanced choices, embracing change, and releasing what weighs us down to step into a more harmonious and compassionate future.

The Moon sits in Sag 21, a degree highlighting the duality between finding wise spiritual guidance and getting swept up in fantasy or false gods with the illusion of control.

The Sun sits in Sag 21, the first degree of the Clearing Sabian expression related to releasing suppressed feelings and the potential to overstep boundaries when fighting for change. It warns against reckless actions and encourages mindful transformation of the status quo.

The I Ching hexagrams echo similar themes. The Moon sits in Hex 26, Line 4 related to taming and controlling great power to yield good fortune. @bellwen says of Line 4 “Feral, uncontrolled power is reckless and cannot guarantee prosperity….Controlled and tamed power…will yield good fortune.”

The Sun rests in Hex 45.4, which speaks of the quiet magnetism of benevolent leadership. As @bellwen notes, “Passive virtue attracts the devotion and admiration of others.”

Notably, this Full Moon squares its own nodes and is aligned with the nodal points of significant current world figures, hinting at a shift in leadership energies on the collective stage.

Ultimately, this lunation illuminates the power of compassionate action over reckless force. It’s a moment to break free from old cycles, align our power with our principles, and move forward with grace and mindful purpose.
