WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FULL MOON?

The Sun and Moon oppose each other in the sky, while the Earth resides in between the two planets. The juxtaposition and position of the planets create a glowing effect on the Moon that makes it look brighter than ever from the Earth’s perspective. Being that June 14 brings a Supermoon, it brings the Moon closer to Earth which will make the lunation appear bigger and more vibrant than ever.

WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT?

The full moon represents the culmination of the 30-day lunar cycle. All of the projects that we’ve been working on for the past month reach an ending or hit a pivotal turning point. Change and growth have happened. Now is the time to reflect and enjoy the fruits of our labors.

HERE'S WHERE THE STRAWBERRY MOON GETS ITS NICKNAME.

WHAT DOES THE FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS MEAN, ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING?

The Full Moon aspects Saturn, who’s retrograde in Aquarius, and Neptune, who is in Pisces. It’s a wonderful time to dream big and embrace our innermost desires. But, we have to be pragmatic about our expectations in order for them to become a reality. By using both our sharp intellect and intuition, we can create amazing opportunities for ourselves — if we believe in the vision.

WHAT RITUALS SHOULD YOU DO DURING THE FULL MOON?

A Full Moon bath with white carnations (the flower of Sagittarius) or baby’s breath flowers is a wonderful way to cleanse the body during the Full Moon. Combine 3 cups of water, one cup of Epsom salt, ½ cup of coconut milk, and petals of flowers in a pot. Boil all ingredients, then strain. Let the strained mixture sit in the pot until it’s room temperature, then pour over your shoulders in the shower to cleanse the body. Only use externally (shoulders, back, arms, and legs).
Meditation will help you focus on what you want to add to your life at this time. Be clear about what you wish to release and break-in while you are breathing in rhythm with your thoughts.
Manifestation journaling will Allow you to actualize your desires. This is a good way to keep up with your intentions and incentives to make sure you’re staying on track. You can change and edit your dreams as you go along through journaling. Also, it’ll hold you accountable for making sure you’re taking action in manifesting your goals.
Light a purple candle, the color associated with Jupiter who is the planetary ruler of Sagittarius with a letter of intention placed under a bowl of water where the candle stands. This is a great way to expand and ignite the light and visions within.
