Full Moon
Full Moon in Sagittarius
A Full Moon in Sagittarius is when the Moon in Sagittarius opposes the Sun in Gemini, bringing the tension between meaning and the many small facts to a head.
Modern
The Full Moon is the bright, culminating point of the cycle, when something that has been building comes to light. In Sagittarius, opposite the Sun in Gemini, it lights up the pull between the larger meaning you are reaching for and the busy details right in front of you. A belief you have held, a sense of where you are headed, or a longing for more room tends to come into focus now and ask to be honored. It is an expansive, honest time to release a story that has grown too small for you, as long as you stay grounded enough to honor the facts on the ground.
