🌈 Full Moon in Sagittarius: Embodying the Archer’s Bold Truths this Pride Month

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.

Sagittarius, the mutable fire sign ruled by expansive Jupiter, is the cosmic adventurer. It seeks knowledge, resists limitations, and lives by its own moral compass. The centaur-archer is both philosopher and warrior—aiming its arrow at the horizon of possibility, daring to imagine and pursue a freer, more meaningful world. Sagittarius doesn’t ask permission to be itself. It declares this is who I am, and goes wherever that truth leads.

🏹 Sagittarius Symbolism and Prideful Themes 🏹

Wouldn’t you know it, Sagittarius archetypes intersect beautifully with the energy of Pride Month!

  • Radical Truth & Authenticity: Sagittarius demands truth—personal, social, and spiritual. As well, Pride is rooted in the same principle: living your truth unapologetically, in defiance of systems that try to silence or erase. Coming out, claiming identity, and showing up visibly in the world where many are marginalized and/ or silenced are all deeply Sagittarian acts.
  • Freedom & Rebellion: As a sign ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius resists constraints. Likewise, Pride began as a rebellion, most notably the Stonewall Riots of 1969, and continues to be an act of resistance. Today, as authoritarian ideologies rise, Pride continues to serve as both a celebration and a protest. Queer people cannot be erased.
  • Exploration & Expansiveness: Pride encourages exploration of one’s gender, sexuality, and chosen identity—refusing to be boxed in by binaries or outdated norms. Sagittarius thrives in ambiguity and discovery. This is a month for pushing past limiting beliefs, socially or personally.
  • Optimism & Hope: Even in dark times, Sagittarius holds the torch of hope and faith. Each June, Pride Month reminds us that joy and celebration are revolutionary acts. Dancing in the streets, holding hands openly, and living proudly are bold declarations that a better world is possible.

 

Harnessing Sagittarius’ Full Moon Energy During Pride

Whether you're LGBTQIA+ or an ally, here are some Sagittarius-inspired ways to connect deeper with Pride this year:

1. Tell Your Story

Sagittarius is the storyteller. Use your voice—whether in a post, conversation, or private journaling—to affirm your truth. Share your experience, your journey, or your support. Our stories build bridges and challenge harmful narratives.

2. Seek Liberation Through Knowledge

Study LGBTQ+ history and activism. Read queer philosophy. Learn about queer magick. Attend workshops or watch documentaries. Sagittarius reminds us that education is a path to liberation—and we must never stop learning.

3. Expand Your Worldview

Make new connections. Engage in conversations across identities. Sagittarius teaches cultural curiosity, so expand your awareness of intersectionality within the queer community, and uplift marginalized voices within it.

4. Embrace the Sacred Act of Joy

Sagittarius sees life as a celebration. Attend a parade, throw a party, dress boldly, sing loudly, laugh freely. Joy is not frivolous—it’s fuel for the journey.

5. Push Back Against Restriction

Speak out. Join protests. Sign petitions. Donate to LGBTQIA+ legal defense funds. Defying authoritarianism, transphobia, and censorship is a Sagittarian act of moral clarity. It says: You will not legislate my existence.

 

🔥 Bonus Content! Sagittarius, Pride, & Protest in Los Angeles This Week 🔥

In recent days, our home town of Los Angeles has once again become a beacon of resistance, with citizens gathering to protest the creeping authoritarianism threatening human and constitutional rights, bodily autonomy, LGBTQIA+ rights, and the erosion of democratic practices and ideals. The spirit behind these protests is unmistakably Sagittarian: freedom over fear, truth over tyranny.

Marching through downtown, we echo the same fires that birthed Pride—the refusal to be silenced, the belief in a just and expansive future. Just as Sagittarius aims its arrow to a new world, we too carve a path forward with courage, community, and conviction.

Be bold. Be free. Be expansive. Be true. Whether you are praising or protesting, know that you are part of a legacy of fire that refuses to be extinguished. This Pride, live like the archer: aimed at truth, fueled by freedom, and unafraid to blaze your own trail.

Cancer x July: A Summertime Symphony of Water & Warmth

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.

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.
