Full Moon in Sagittarius square the Lunar Nodes: Karmic Crossroads 

In the early morning hours of  June 11, 2025, the Full Moon aligns in the fire sign of Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter now in Cancer. Full Moons are a culmination of heightened awareness and emotional release, and in the adventurous sign of the Archer, this one encourages us to expand our horizons, embrace optimism, have a good laugh and take a leap of faith - even as the challenges of the world can inflame tensions, there is hope that humanity can prevail.

Sagittarius is the sign of enthusiasm, righteousness, higher learning, philosophy and exploring the unknown. It seeks answers to the biggest questions in order to expand the mind and spirit. With the Full Moon in this fire sign the emotional landscape is colored by a desire for freedom, exploration, and a sense of higher truth and purpose. This Full Moon asks: What beliefs are you ready to fully embody, and where are you ready to aim your arrow high with unwavering conviction? 

Full Moon in Sagittarius: Aim High, But Stay Grounded

On June 11, 2025, we experience the illuminating glow of the Full Moon in mutable fire sign Sagittarius. Full Moons are always a culmination, a moment of heightened awareness and emotional release, and in the adventurous sign of the Archer, this one encourages us to expand our horizons, embrace optimism, and perhaps take a leap of faith.

Sagittarius is the sign of truth, wisdom, travel, and higher learning. It's about seeking meaning and understanding the bigger picture. With the Moon here, our emotional landscape is colored by a desire for freedom, exploration, and a deep sense of purpose. This Full Moon asks: What beliefs are you ready to fully embody, and where are you ready to aim your arrow with unwavering conviction?

Jupiter in Cancer: Compassionate Wisdom

Adding a profound layer to this lunation is the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter, currently exalted in the sign of Cancer.  Jupiter, the great benefic, is naturally expansive, but in Cancer, its expression becomes deeply nurturing, protective, and emotionally intelligent.  Exaltation means that Jupiter is in a sign where its qualities are particularly well-expressed and supported.  

What does this mean for our Full Moon? While the Sagittarian energy propels us towards grand visions and philosophical breakthroughs, Jupiter in Cancer reminds us to ground these aspirations in compassion, empathy, and a strong sense of emotional security. It’s not just about what we want to achieve, but how our ambitions can serve our emotional well-being and perhaps even contribute to the well-being of our community or family. Our expansive dreams are infused with a gentle, caring wisdom. This placement encourages us to expand our emotional intelligence and find comfort in our growth.  

Full Moon Trine Mars in Leo: Fueling Your Purpose

Adding a powerful surge of energy and courage to this Full Moon is a harmonious trine to Mars in Leo.  The Moon in Sagittarius, a fire sign, finds an effortless flow with Mars, the planet of action and drive, also in a fellow fire sign, Leo.  

This trine ignites our personal will and enthusiasm. Mars in Leo is bold, expressive, and wants to be seen for its unique contributions.  It's about leading with the heart, expressing passion, and taking action with confidence and flair. The trine to the Sagittarius Full Moon means that our emotional revelations and expansive insights (Sagittarius Moon) are perfectly supported by our personal drive and ability to act (Mars in Leo).  This is an excellent aspect for: 

• Courageous Self-Expression: Feeling inspired to speak your truth with confidence and authenticity.
• Motivated Pursuit of Ideals: Finding the drive to actively pursue your higher ideals and big-picture visions.
• Creative Action: Channeling emotional energy into creative projects or endeavors that allow you to shine.
• Optimistic Initiative: Taking initiative with a generous, optimistic spirit, inspiring others along the way.

This aspect adds a powerful "go-get-it" energy to the Full Moon, encouraging us not just to acknowledge our truths, but to act on them with enthusiasm and a confident stride.

Full Moon Square the Lunar Nodes: A Karmic Crossroads

Perhaps the most significant aspect of this Full Moon is its square to the Lunar Nodes, currently transiting Pisces (North Node) and Virgo (South Node). The Lunar Nodes represent our evolutionary path: the South Node signifies our past karmic patterns and innate strengths, while the North Node points to our soul's growth direction and the nature of our soul's evolution.

A square from the Full Moon to the Nodes creates a dynamic tension, a pivotal moment of karmic consequence or a decision on your path. The illumination of the Full Moon in Sagittarius brings to light how our belief in higher truths and justice (Sagittarius) may have to content with the Virgo-Pisces axis of victim/savior or service/sacrifice dynamics. 

With the North Node in Pisces, we are called to develop compassion, spirituality, and a deeper connection to the collective unconscious, embracing fluidity and transcending boundaries. The South Node in Virgo highlights the tendency towards meaningful service and humility, however, its shadow can be caught up in over-analysis, perfectionism, and getting caught up in the details.

The Full Moon's square to these Nodes offers an alchemy that challenges our higher aspirations and expansive desires with the humble dedication needed to evolve. It asks us to integrate our spiritual aspirations with our sense of humble service.

Jupiter in Cancer: Compassionate Wisdom

Adding a profound layer to this lunation is the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter, currently exalted in the sign of Cancer. Jupiter, the great benefic, is naturally expansive, but in Cancer, its expression becomes deeply nurturing, protective, and emotionally intelligent. Exaltation means that Jupiter is in a sign where its qualities are particularly well-expressed and supported.

What does this mean for our Full Moon? While the Sagittarian energy propels us towards grand visions and philosophical breakthroughs, Jupiter in Cancer reminds us to ground these aspirations in compassion, empathy, and a strong sense of emotional security. It’s not just about what we want to achieve, but how our ambitions can serve our emotional well-being and perhaps even contribute to the well-being of our community or family. Our expansive dreams are infused with a gentle, caring wisdom. This placement encourages us to expand our emotional intelligence and find comfort in our growth.

Collective Crossroads: Jupiter Squares Saturn and Neptune in Aries

Adding another layer of complexity and significance to this time is the fact that Jupiter, freshly in Cancer, is also about to form a square to both Saturn and Neptune, which are currently in Aries. This is a powerful collective influence, as Saturn and Neptune are forming a conjunction in Aries, setting a new tone for societal structures and ideals.

Jupiter's square to Saturn often indicates a tension between expansion and contraction, optimism and realism. On a collective level, this can mean a period of testing where our big ideas and hopes (Jupiter) meet the practical limitations and responsibilities of reality (Saturn). There might be a sense of being pulled between wanting to grow and facing necessary obstacles or regulations.

When Neptune is added to this mix in Aries, the picture becomes even more nuanced. Neptune in Aries can bring a collective awakening around themes of identity, pioneering new paths, and confronting illusions related to courage, leadership, and individual will. It can also bring a sense of collective disillusionment or confusion around what we are fighting for.

The Jupiter in Cancer square to Saturn and Neptune in Aries, for the collective, suggests a major crossroads. We are being asked to expand our compassion and emotional security (Jupiter in Cancer) while navigating a period where established structures (Saturn) and collective ideals or illusions (Neptune) in areas of self-assertion and pioneering (Aries) are being redefined and potentially challenged. This could manifest as:

• Re-evaluating collective goals: A push to expand social welfare and emotional support systems (Jupiter in Cancer) may clash with new, perhaps more individualistic or even aggressive, leadership or societal structures emerging from Aries (Saturn/Neptune in Aries).
• Balancing ideals and reality: There's a call to bring our expansive dreams and compassion down to earth, confronting any collective illusions or unfeasible visions that have been brewing. We may see a "sobering up" around certain nationalistic or ideological pushes.
• Finding security in change: The collective sense of security might be challenged as new, perhaps uncertain, paths are forged. The emphasis on home, family, and emotional well-being (Jupiter in Cancer) becomes a crucial anchor amidst this transformative period.

This Full Moon in Sagittarius is a powerful call to action. Aim high, embrace your truth, and allow your vision to expand. But remember the gentle guidance of Jupiter in Cancer, rooting your aspirations in compassion.

Bring consciousness to important choices with the square to the Lunar Nodes and the upcoming squares to Saturn and Neptune in Aries – it’s a cosmic nudge to consciously align your adventurous spirit with your deepest evolutionary path, finding wisdom in both the grand adventure and the subtle art of mindful living, especially as the collective navigates a pivotal moment of redefinition.
