Full Moon in Sagittarius, Summer Solstice June 20th 2016

Today's Full Moon in Sagittarius at 29 degrees also coincides with the Summer Solstice , Monday 20th June. Tomorrow is the longest day of the year and so light may be shed on matters that have felt like they have been brewing and needed attention. This is the second full Moon in Sagittarius of this season (the last was a month ago) Remember the Full Moon can make things feel generally more intense or 'buzzy', as emotions run higher, with increased sensitivities people may feel crazier or more extremely, so it's generally a good rule of thumb not to act on these feelings until a few weeks later when things have settled down. As Sagittarius is an energetic, sporty sign people may feel more get up and go, or a desire for adventure. As it's a straight forward sign people may be extra blunt and lack diplomacy. As Sagittarius is an idealistic, freedom loving, moralistic sign that is forward looking, people may feel a desire to expand their horizons or that there must be something bigger and better than the now. Sagittarius could cause people to get on their moral high horse but not do as they preach. On a plus side this Full Moon in Sagittarius this second time around could help illuminate us about personal truths and ideals and what we want to strive for in a spiritual sense or as a desire to expand one's knowledge or a need for deeper meaning to life, beyond the material. Epiphanies are possible. Sagittarius Moon in opposition to the Sun and Venus in Gemini suggests over analysing won't do one much favours but neither will blind optimism. This Sagittarius/Gemini polarity could be make people feel highly strung, restless, cause insomnia, increased good humour, a desire to be sociable and carelessly avoid responsibilities but Saturn square Neptune Retrograde won't negate the confusion and push/pull between serious responsibilities, boundaries versus fantasy, illusion, mysticism and escapism A fear of failure or responsibility may be experienced by some people with a need to escape the harsh reality of the world. Neptune is about the imagination so in challenging aspect to Saturn our imaginations can run riot, thinking pessimistically or the worst. Or Saturn square Neptune Retrograde could be felt as longing for a fantasy or remembering the past with rose coloured. Be aware recreational drugs, alcohol and medications can exacerbate delusion and a grip with reality; other worldly or romantic pursuits could seem favourable compared to the mundane. If one can strive for a balance between the two, the imagination could give form to something concrete. If you succumb to Neptune Retrograde you may have a cold harsh reality check post November, as the illusion is shattered. Basically it's been a very tough several weeks and once Mars turns direct on 29th June (it's been retrograde since April 17th, give it a week or so to resume properly forward), it will hopefully feel like things can move forward and plans can be carried out, full steam ahead. The plus side of Neptune retrograde from June 17th to November 20th 2016 is heightened intuition, deep inner soul searching and the veil being thinner between the conscious and the subconscious.
