Full Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius 🍓 June 3, 2023

We haven’t had a regular full moon in Sagittarius since 2016! This constellation has been a crucial emotional change point over the last 7 years with all kinds of supermoons and lunar and solar eclipses. This full moon follows the First Quarter Moon in Virgo and it is just as busy, if not more. So much teaching and learning coming together at this apex. Sagittarius is the archetype of the Master, the Sifu, the Mentor.

The June full moon is known as the Strawberry Moon as it coincides with berry ripening season. On full moons, Luna rises at sunset, peaks at midnight and sets at sunrise – and this is true all over the world, no matter your time zone. When the sun goes down, this is our cue to head outside and see the moon rising majestically in the east.

Sun and moon oppose one another in Gemini and Sag: the axis of thought and movement. This full moon speaks to the beauty and sacredness of life itself; to visions, energy, confidence. There is little time, if any, for stillness or rest. Feel this pure movement and fire, pure adrenaline, forward motion, pushing through time-space into the future.

Sagittarian fire is expressive and vivacious, fresh as can be. Imagine a big bonfire with old and new friends, fresh strawberries and effervescent drinks, sparks spiraling up into the clear night sky.

Follow the centaur to the highest mountain, the one which collects wandering souls like morning dew at her base. Perch high on the mountain, make a fire and sing; silence and nourishment, flicker and glow. Give yourself time to be, aimlessly. This is a lost art form, existing effortlessly, without expectation.

Great news: this full moon will trine Mars in Leo, giving us an extra fiery boost of energy and confidence.
