In the early morning hours of Saturday the 6th of June, we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the freedom loving fire sign of Sagittarius.
A Lunar Eclipse has ten times the potential of Full Moon, and often clears a path that steers us in a new direction on our journey. We may have thought we were going one way, but often an Eclipse comes along to reveal a whole new path.
Sometimes we find that something in our life is coming to an end. Or, we may find that we are called to release and let go of something that we truly thought was right for us.
The feisty Sagittarian Lunar Eclipse is just that… feisty! Its energy can be impulsive and a bit angry because the Moon is in a tight square formation to Mars. The Moon is also opposite Venus retrograde which is not a good omen for love relationships.
Strong relationships will withstand this intensity through patience and unconditional love. However, this feisty impulsive energy poses a real threat to strained relationships. Impatience, sexual frustration, and lack of self-control could turn love to hate, resulting in impulsive actions and hostility. These planetary aspects to the Sagittarian Lunar Eclipse can also point to danger of war between enemies, as well as earthquakes.
With the Moon’s tight square aspect to Mars it can bring simmering anger to the surface, so care is required to avoid being hurt or causing harm. We may feel quick to lose our tempers with a loved one or face emotional attacks from others. There is a danger when taking risks or acting impulsively. But holding onto anger and frustration is not good for us.
The key to handling this quick anger is to release our frustrations in a controlled way. We need to avoid being overly defensive or mean if someone shares their feelings with us, even if it is confrontational. Courage will be needed to face anything that may make us feel threatened over the next few days.
Yes, some fiery oppositions may come up, but the energy of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will be guiding us to stand our ground, claim our power, and allow the voice of our inner fire to speak.
It is the first in a trio of Eclipses, and as we walk this Eclipse Gateway over the coming weeks, we will discover a new path emerging, one that may be very different from the path we were walking before.
With Mars being the major player with the Full Moon we need to remember that Mars is the warrior, which is why this Eclipse very much plays into this idea of finding our inner warrior and inner flame and allowing it to shine.
Emotions may be heated, but we need to learn to listen to ourselves. We must learn to listen to our anger and frustration for there is wisdom inside doing this.
If we allow ourselves to sit gently with our emotions, we are likely to have a breakthrough. If we allow ourselves to feel our anger or feel the intensity of our emotions, we are likely to find the truth of what is bubbling underneath the surface.
If we constantly dismiss the harder or more abrasive thoughts and feelings when they arise, we never really get to understand them.
It’s not that we want or need to sit in our anger forever or allow our inner voice to become drowned by negative talk, but we also don’t want to ignore these voices and push them away.
We want to listen to them and discover what they really mean. We want to look honesty at every single one of them and see the value in what they have to share and offer.
When we listen to ourselves; when we really take the time to go within and listen, we catch things we may have otherwise missed. We learn things about ourselves, and we open to a new truth.
It is not just our love and light that can teach us, but our pain, anger, jealousy, and resentment too.
These emotions are uncomfortable, and no one wants to feel this way, but it is so much a part of our human experience, and we can no longer ignore them or wish them away with false thinking.
We need to listen, seek the jewels of wisdom that they offer, and then let them go.
We cannot rush this process. We cannot just let it go because it’s uncomfortable. We have to sit with it first. We have to own all of it!!! Claim all of it!!! And allow ourselves to rise with it so we can understand what is bringing up the flames within.
As this Eclipse falls in Sagittarius, we are likely going to find ourselves clearing thoughts, beliefs, and ideas in order to prepare for this new journey that is yet to unfold. Sagittarius is freedom loving, expansive and wise. We may feel the need to get out, get away as we have been cooped up for some time now. We should choose wisely what escape we are longing for and make it positive! The feeling to escape reality can be a bad choice as addictions can rise to the surface. A positive and healing adventure in nature is much wiser.
Globally there is a feeling of unrest and rebellion, we may see this Sagittarian Full Moon energy amplifying all of this. Love, Hate, War and clashes are indicated with the planetary aspects. Mars is the biggest influence as mention however the Lunar Eclipse opposite Venus brings the potential for laziness, gluttony, carelessness with money, and indiscretion in love. We may feel we want more love and affection but have trouble giving it.
Venus retrograde also makes giving and receiving love and affection more difficult and can also indicate some kind of financial stress. Old friends or lovers may reappear, or we may relive past life experiences in order to sort out karmic issues.
Venus square to Mars can bring frustration across many levels, Frustration and physical tension can be released more safely through sport and exercise. We can also channel this dynamic energy into hard work, or creativity like painting, sculpture or dance.
Although there is fire and frustration bubbling over the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, there is also an illuminating factor, if we have questions, if we have been feeling confused, now is the time to set an intention and allow this Eclipse to show us the way.
Allow it to illuminate us and bring us to the path that is best for our journey.
This Sagittarius Eclipse will work in harmony with the next two Eclipses, so there is much. Much more to the journey that will unfold.
By the time we have finished walking through this gateway of Eclipses, we are going to feel energized again and reborn.
We may enter this gateway feeling confused, overwhelmed, and unsure, but we will leave it with a clearer knowing, a stronger sense of our destiny, and more connected to our personal power.
Love and Blessings ♥♥♥
