Gemini season is in full force and the pulse of the universe continues with the recent shift of Jupiter entering the sign of Cancer and the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2025. Increasing the cosmic magic is the Full Moon in Sagittarius, called the “Strawberry Moon” for displaying a dramatic pink to reddish glow due to sitting low in the sky. This year, the Moon will sit the lowest in 20 years and will be a sight to behold! This big and bold Full Moon in Sagittarius rises in the night sky, illuminating the call of growth that can no longer be ignored. Symbolized by the Archer, we are urged to lift our gaze, take aim beyond familiar boundaries and follow our longing for untold possibilities.
Sagittarius is mutable fire energy expanding far and wide. Philosophical, inspired and drawn to wander off the beaten path, Sagittarius is a seeker, gathering knowledge and diverse, direct experiences to understand the world and its place within it. Gemini is mutable air, curious, mercurial and communicative. A gatherer and sharer of information and ideas, Gemini strives for an open mind. This opposition invites integration, where together the Sun and Moon create a bridge between what we know and what we believe.
Ruled by Jupiter now in Cancer, the planet of hope and growth calls us within, nurturing our intuition, personal needs and connection to home and family, reminding us that our inner searching is as meaningful as our desire for outward experiences and perspectives. With Mercury in Cancer, communicating with empathy and sensitivity nurtures deeper personal connections and healing potential.
Like a sacred push from within, Mars in Leo brings fiery support to this Full Moon phase, activating the courage to burn through hesitation and fears, releasing the script we’ve outgrown. To take a risk, express ourselves genuinely, and realign our journey honoring joy, higher vision and personal conviction.
In a challenging turning point on our path of evolutionary growth, the Virgo South Node and Pisces North Node form a compelling crossroad with this Moon. This aspect urges us to release Virgo’s old karmic habits; damaging self-criticism, over-responsibility and measuring self-worth by productivity or perfection, and to reach for the ethereal open field of Pisces grace, acceptance and trust in divine unfolding.
This lunation encourages a release of outgrown beliefs and limiting narratives that no longer sustains us and to embrace vulnerability. And although it’s not always comfortable, this can liberate us. With an awareness of the terrain we’ve explored and the unknown adventures we still long to discover, this Moon ignites us, moves us.
Be careful of over-optimism or over-extension, but do have faith in life itself, to keep going and continue growing. Because this Full Moon in Sagittarius is not just a moment of luminous light, it’s a launch point. Let it carry us toward what inspires, what dares, what expands our spirit beyond the borderlines of fear. To live a life of meaning, of truth, that nourishes our heart and soul.
In completing my final newsletter, I leave you with the message of this Full Moon in Sagittarius, to encourage you all, in your own way, to stretch further into the world beyond what you’ve known, discover new understandings of yourself and your place in the world. To have an adventure big or small. To foster hope and faith in life itself, that this precious and sometimes wild journey is well worth the effort.
