ASTRO FULL BLUE MOON IN SAGITTARIUS THE ARCHER
31 May 2026 @9:45 BST
All hail & Welcome to Astro: Full Blue moon in the sign of the archer, Sagittarius! We shall be traversing the cosmic alliances & oppositions, working our way through the sea of cosmic interactions which have an effect on us here on planet Earth. As our conduit moon reaches fullness, we may feel the need to release that which is no longer serving our highest good. We may feel that we have nothing else left in us to let go of, rather we have a newness for ourselves to work with & this can be easy or difficult depending on our own personal reactions to what is occurring cosmically at this time.
With Litha/ Summer solstice just around the corner, we are meandering toward the fullness of the Wheel of the year where Mother Earth, who gives us sustenance as she blooms into the summer months, is about to reach the peak of her fecundity. Coupled with the expansive solar energies reaching their peak at Litha, we are about to enter a time in which we take joy & understand more about that which has made itself known to us over the past few months lunations.
But first, lets embark upon our voyage of discovery through the cosmic energies of this full moon phase……
Blue Moon
What is a blue moon & why are we calling this full phase ‘Blue’?
Ever heard of the saying ‘once in a blue moon’? Often, we refer to a blue moon to show how infrequent an event is. With the Moon, we are still referring to its infrequency, only this time it symbolises the 2nd Full moon in a calendar month. This phenomenon only really occurs every 2-3 years. So, to say ‘once in a blue moon’ as a term of infrequency is correct, as this ‘blue’ phase is a fairly rare occurrence.
Full Moon is a time of fullness & fruition. As our Lunar satellite moves into full phase & into abundance, we too are given a chance to feel into that abundance & to re-evaluate those seeds we planted at New Moon or before. It is a time of releasing all that has not worked out or that is no longer meant for us. Its in the where, who & what we do not want to be that the work can truly take hold. Now is a time of completion, peaking emotional energies within relationships, romance, mysteries & excitement for what life has in store for us.
The moon represents our inner self, our past, our intuition & psychic awareness, the things we think about internally. These all play their part in making full moon a particularly intense time indeed.
Full Moon in Sagittarius, the sign of the Archer. The archer takes careful aim before firing arrows in the direction it wants to go in. We may feel we lack energy for any of this right now & we could rightfully sit back & relax into this part of the year, allowing ourselves to gather energies for the next episode or harvest. We can use this time to think about the direction our lives are going in, how we wish to get there & where to place our arrows, so that we reach our desired destination with all that we need to progress & move forward into this life we are co creating with the universe. This makes a good time for planning & understanding what has been working for us & what has not, what we have learned from & now need to release. This work may take you on a deep dive into the depths of what you do not want to continue with. The 'who' you do not want to be needs addressing, releasing & a new version of you needs to be visualised & realised.
In addition, Sagittarius is the sign of the adventurer, a pupil of life’s experiences, accepting challenges, forever seeking wisdom.
Ask yourself
What makes ME happy?
What makes my heart sing?
What do I need to do to be able to view life in a less ordinary way?
How & where can I add adventure to create a zest for life?
How can I bring myself into the present moment with a joyful approach to what happens?
This is the fiery, creative energy of Sagittarius Moon. If we can bring ourselves to this place & answer ourselves in a meaningful way, we tap into the flow of this moon.
The Sun is in Gemini & sits opposite the Moon in Sagittarius. Gemini is the sign of the twins, finding opposing sides to every situation, in addition according to Greek mythology, one represents immortality & the Soul, the other mortality & the physical. This opposing nature is where we will find challenges during this phase. As the Sun shines its light illuminating the Moon, we are being asked to consider the polarities between the 2 signs & what that means for us individually & on a global scale. The Sun in Gemini, in opposition to the moon highlights the mental polarities of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. We now look at what we need to balance within this moon phase. Gemini prefers logic & is at home with “it is what it is”, whereas Sagittarius is more of a mover & shaker, of intuition, seeing the bigger picture & likes to expand on what is in front of us. So, to keep that balance means to honour both polarities or we run the risk of imbalance in our lives & this can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings, as well as a sense of nothing being quite right.
This moon is all about the issues between logic (Gemini) & belief/ intuition (Sagittarius). It is along the lines of finding those things we lack, within the sphere of travel, adventure, philosophy, learning & celebration. Its about adventure, our viewpoint & how we communicate effectively to get to where we need to be. Sagittarius is here to jog our desires out of complacency & get us out there celebrating life.
Each sign houses its external light & internal shadow side. It’s a great idea to know what we need to look for in both signs, to recognise the energies we are exhibiting & how to find the balance we need to remain in a state of equilibrium.
Gemini higher energies incorporate a desire for knowledge about the world & its mysteries; becoming less reactive & switching off from our emotional side whilst still being in the moment; open to communicating; engaging; charming; entertaining; motivated; imaginative; generous; wise & adventurous.
In lower Gemini vibrations & shadow energies we can be more susceptible to superficiality; judgement; being ungrounded; restlessness; nervousness; overwhelm; childishness; closed minded; racing uncentered thinking; emotional unavailability; people pleasing; unintuitive; losing sight of wider perspective.
Sagittarius higher energies wants us to gather Intel, intuitive hits, wider perspectives, learn & integrate; open to receiving truth; becoming trusting of life’s journeying & accepting that things work out as they are supposed to; open mind to the depth of our perception & consciousness.
Sagittarius lower vibrations or shadow can make us feel as though we are losing all faith & trust in our divine experience, physical experience; question the meaning of everything; becoming careless; over-confident; impatience; superficial; pessimistic.
There is a push-pull effect going on here. On the one hand we are faced with a light, bright, playfulness & a ‘go get it’ attitude, demonstrating a want to travel, explore & a need for freedom & a joyful life. On the other there is a keen sense of responsibility, calling us to go within & rediscover meaning & the way in which we have been living. Over the past few lunations, we have experienced turbulent, transformative energies, now it’s time to put into practice what we know to be right for us.
The moral of this duet seems to be to find your happy & keep doing whatever it is that makes your soul sing to the drumbeat of Mother Earth’s thrum. Self-expression in all its beauty & honesty is required! Are you ready?
Planetary Influences
Uranus & Mercury in Gemini opposite Moon in Sagittarius –
Uranus in Gemini brings big changes in communication, technology & interactions. This aspect highlights our social button & how we interact with people. It can refer to disruption & fast changes. With Full moon, we are being given a chance to let go of limitations in our belief & connections which are out of alignment. We are being encouraged to stop controlling, just for a little while so that we can see the possibilities on offer to us.
Mercury in Gemini brings a sense of curiosity & the ability to communicate in the many different ways we have on offer to us. We may have intellectual conversations filled with quick-witted anecdotes or we could encounter quite the opposite. An opposition can highlight polarities & struggles associated with communicating.
Mars in Taurus Quincunx Full Moon in Sagittarius –
Mars in Taurus offers us the action-oriented determination of Mars alongside the stability of Taurus. We may recognise our own persistence in working toward our goals. A quincunx is an aspect guiding us to the flexibility of an unpredictable situation. There may be a feeling of push-pull in our emotions over our what has been achieved so far. We may feel a little like going in circles, but be aware that revisiting can mean more lessons to learn before releasing. Lessons learned are often a guide to personal growth. On one hand, releasing what you’ve learned is not for you & on the other hand knowing when something is working out & needs more time or implementation. Find the joy by directing the emotion toward transformation by becoming flexible in your approach.
Saturn & Neptune in Aries Trine Full Moon in Sagittarius-
Saturn themes are challenges, getting things started correctly, a need for personal growth.
Neptune is about the way in which we dream & act. This is all about the confidence to begin/ change our beliefs, using practical ways.
The message here is to find the balance between responsibilities & emotion by focusing on long term stability. Move with the wisdom you’ve gained so far.
Astronomy
Venus & Jupiter are visible low in the evening sky & will be very close around the 9th June. No need for binoculars as theses 2 are the brightest pair in the night sky.
Neptune will be visible near the Moon on 9th June too. However, you will need binoculars or a telescope to get a good look.
Mars will be visible near to the Moon on 12th June. No need for binoculars as the reddish planet will be visible.
Venus, Jupiter & Mercury align for a diagonal 3 planet line up, visible with the naked eye, low in the night sky. The Moon joins in around 16 June, whilst in new phase, so a silver slither will appear near to the 3 planets.
That’s it for this Astro Full Moon article. Please join me nearer to New Moon in Gemini 15 June, 2026 for an Astro New Moon article.
Until then, enjoy journeying over the next couple of weeks. I look forward to you joining me on other cosmic adventures in June.
Brightest Blessings to you
In love, light & all betwixt
