​Full Moon in Sagittarius: June 17, 2019

The Full Moon is essential for change: it helps with transformations and releasing old energies that are
no longer needed. Building on intentions set during the New Moon, the two weeks leading up to the Full
Moon set things in motion to achieve our new normal. Sometimes, these intentions are easy to
manifest. Other times, we struggle to keep our intentions clear and fight to forge a path forward.

This Full Moon gives us a unique opportunity. With the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius, we
have the ability to shed the lower energies of both signs. Gemini rules the third house of
communication, and when integrated with the energy of the Sagittarius Full Moon, provides us with
researcher-like energy: inquisitive, non-judgemental and open to possibilities. The low side of this
energy is judgment, close-mindedness, and ungrounded energy. To release this kind of low vibrational
energy, do some breathwork or yoga and feel your connection to the ground and the Universe. Journal
your feelings if you cannot share them but get them out of your head and onto paper.

When we are in the lower vibrational energy of Sagittarius, one of two things could happen: either we
want to believe that everything is going to turn out fine even as it crumbles around us or we become
aggressively righteous and extremely judgmental. Shedding these lower energies is what we strive to do
each cycle of the Moon. So how do we shed these particular energies? Through a simple journaling
exercise.

Grab some paper and a pen, sit somewhere safe, and let the answers flow out of you. Don’t stop to edit,
don’t try to sound eloquent, just get the answers out.

1. What are 3 common judgments you form about yourself? Others?
2. What assumptions do you make about yourself and others when you judge? If you find yourself
using the work ‘should’ a lot, take note of what judgments you are placing on yourself and
others.
3. What are you curious about: new type of food, a new hair colour, a new place to travel.
4. What holds you back from trying new things? If it’s fear, what would you try if you weren’t
afraid?

Once you’ve done this, read your answers over carefully. What kind of affirmations can you make that
will allow you to let go of judgement of yourself and others, that will help you to try new things and new
experiences, and allow yourself to enjoy where you are in your life right now? Think it over, then write
them down. Keep them somewhere you can refer back to them if needed. Consider the affirmations you
write as a roadmap of what to work on for the next two weeks leading up the New Moon.

Sagittarius is a sign of travel, of wandering around and never getting lost, of being completely and
openly authentic, never ceasing to learn and expand her knowledge. This Full Moon, she is asking us to
open our minds and see things from other perspectives. Try to mix up your daily routine: take a different
route to work or order a burger instead of a salad at lunch. Small subtle shifts in daily patterns leads to
consistent growth in shifting old patterns to make room for new experiences.
