Analysis
What an excellent and abundant Full Moon! The Sun and the Moon are making their monthly opposition to one another in the opposite signs of Gemini and Sagittarius. Both representing ideas, communication, expansion. But Sagittarius is more prone to filtering out the noise and trying to expand the BIG PICTURE. Sagittarians are natural born story tellers. So what’s your story?
This is a time to really sit down and ask yourself; what is it you want? Who or what do you want to be? What do you believe in? Where is your life heading? Your answer may be very far off from where you stand now, and that’s ok. If you’ve been spinning your wheels, and are ready to make some changes now is the time.
You have an opportunity with this Full Moon to release and let go of all the baggage and hang-ups. This may help you rewrite the narrative of the story thus far. Dream big, expand your mind and possibly even your horizons. I don’t care how far fetched or crazy it may seem. The Moon is coupled up next to the infamous “Galactic Center Point” at 27 of Sagittarius. This, in lamer terms, is the exact center of our galaxy, the purest form of source. It’s here where we tune into our highest truths and connect to co-create with the universe.
The catch? There seems to be a whole lot of roadblocks and speed bumps. If you didn’t read this month's horoscopes for June 2019 you may want to. I go in-depth talking about why we are encountering some of these bumps in the road mid-June. Essentially planets in Cancer are being pulled from the opposite sign in Capricorn. There may be a lot of people who are telling you or pressuring you to maintain the status quo. Guilt tactics, fear, and emotions may run a bit haywire. But the beauty of Sagittarius is, they don't mind the chaos. They're very capable of focusing on the silver lining and seeking possibilities on the horizon.
Be mindful of fear. It’s a funny thing this month. Fear in small doses may keep us in check. Maybe even a fire burning from beneath us. But too much of it can sabotage and paralyze. You may feel yourself slowly shifting into a destined more authentic path. If you have been in the process of making changes in recent weeks, now you’re about to embrace the physical manifestations. If you have been indecisive and bouncing between options, it's likely to be narrowed down for you next month. If you’re having issues being decisive; choose whatever creates space for joy.
This Full Moon Mercury speaks to Neptune, hearing wishes and intentions if you set them carefully. Time spent in meditation and prayer is very much so encouraged. While you may be feeling pulled toward other areas of your life, it’s for good reason. Like Sagittarius’s bow, the arrow can only work by pulling back (Saturn/ resistance) before being shot in another direction. Keep that in mind this month. If you’re feeling it, rise above it. Trust and believe if you surrender, it may further along the process of your spiritual evolution. Being optimistic may help you win big in the months ahead.

As the Sun dips into the fiery heart of summer, July emerges—golden, long, and lazy. And right alongside it, the zodiac’s watery guardian, Cancer, takes the helm. July is one of the few month’s of the year (next to March or April, depending on the date of Ostara) where a pagan holiday or fire festival is not observed, yet the middle of summer seems almost ritualistic in how entrenched we become with the richness of the season. Looking further, it only makes sense as to why Cancer, summer’s sweetest star sign, is the mascot to the start of summer. Here’s why the vibrancy of July and the nurturing essence of Cancer are cosmic twins—bound by symbolism, season, and soul.
A celebration of identity, liberation, and self-expression— Pride Month is an annual honoring of the LGBTQIA+ community’s history, resilience, and ongoing pursuit of equality. While astrologically Pride Month falls within Gemini and Cancer seasons, the bold and untamed spirit of the Sagittarius full moon each June aligns strikingly with the energy that fuels Pride’s essence: truth-seeking, radical authenticity, and freedom from oppression.
As we navigate the celestial currents of 2025, a unique astrological event awaits: both Venus and Mercury will be retrograde simultaneously. Venus will transition from Aries to Pisces during its retrograde, while Mercury will retrograde in Aries. This rare cosmic alignment offers a profound opportunity for introspection, reassessment, and personal growth. When these two influential planets appear to move backward in the sky, their retrograde energies prompt us to slow down and reevaluate critical aspects of our lives. While the experience may seem challenging, it ultimately serves as a chance to heal, reset, and reconnect with our true desires and intentions.
