Collective Energies:
Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius wants abundance: to go big or go home, have your cake and eat it too, as well as have plenty of time for fun. Sagittarius is the sign of optimism and also expands the realm of feelings. It rules the pointer finger and can be eager to place blame when it concerns itself with morality and ideals as well as philosophy. However, the shadow side of it can be arrogance, exaggeration, or superiority.
Watch out for overindulgence or being optimistic to a point that ignores the emotions. This full moon offers a wonderful time to examine our truth and tap into our adventurous side, as well as making time to be silly or be playful. Spiritual and religious concerns may take a priority or evoke our inner humanitarian, as Sagittarius sometimes leans towards a messiah/redeemer tendencies.
The grand trine with the Moon, North Node, and South Node reminds us about moving forward and staying on our soul’s path and vision. While the sextile to Mars may imply focusing on what we want and taking action towards our visions from the last new moon.
Sagittarius wants to celebrate. This is a good time for holidays, weddings, birthdays, etc. so make time to honor what is good and working in your life on this optimistic full moon. Though don't be disappointed if you are feeling more emotional, this can also be an expansion of the emotional realm that could feel warm-hearted or too much.
This full moon may also bring us into more heart opening and exploration, so run with it! Here are some ritual suggestions for integrating these energies:

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.
Throughout history, the name Cupid, or Eros, has been synonymous with romance, desire, and playful mischief. This cherubic archer, often depicted as a winged boy with a bow and quiver full of arrows, has roots far deeper than modern Valentine’s Day iconography. Originating in ancient mythology, Cupid’s story intertwines love and fate, often with dramatic and unexpected consequences. But who exactly is Cupid, and what is the lore behind this mischievous god of love?
