Life has been quite the adventure lately, full of thrilling experiences and exciting learning opportunities. You may wonder how the full moon in Sagittarius will affect each zodiac sign, since this lunation will draw attention to the most recent chapter of your journey. Given that this full moon—a.k.a. the Flower Moon—is occurring during Gemini season, it will carry curious and intellectual undertones. Make no mistake–there could be a big lesson to take away from this lunar period.
While the full moon can represent so many things, it may also mark a spiritual period that correlates with the natural world. May’s full moon in Sagittarius is hailed as the abundant and beautiful “Flower Moon”. The Flower Moon is a true, springtime moon that arises when the flowers are in full bloom. Folklore also suggests that this could be an ideal lunation to plant seeds, especially anything that you plan to harvest in the upcoming seasons.
On May 23, 2024, the full moon in Sagittarius will peak at 9:53 a.m. ET, which will occur at 2 degrees. You may wake up and feel more nostalgic than usual, as this lunar energy will produce a more sentimental and emotional atmosphere. However, this is also arguably the best way to start your day—by reconnecting with your heart. You could realize that the conclusion of one cycle means something new is waiting for you just around the corner. Reframing your attitude will help you see that this full moon represents the beginning of the rest of your life. After all, Sagittarius is the zodiac sign that loves to see the big picture.
Talk about coming in hot! Excitement will beam from the joyful lunation. You may feel bold and confident with what you have produced during this lunar cycle. The mutable fire energy will engulf you like a wildfire. You should feel larger-than-life thanks to all that you have accomplished in just six months. Luna will also answer to Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius. Party planet Jupiter will emphasize the good vibes emanating from this lunar cycle. Jupiter’s underlying presence may also refer to a chapter of your journey closing so that you can move on to the next chapter.
Like all full moons, this lunation will oppose the sun in Gemini. The lunar-solar opposition can represent the “two sides of the same coin” mentality. What these two luminaries share is an insatiable thirst for knowledge. However, the luminaries differ in how they attain knowledge. Luna is here to remind you to go big or go home with what you can experience while the sun suggests that you should explore every curiosity that comes to mind. As the opposition settles in, you could use this energy to ask your final questions and get the last bit of information you need to make sense of this lunar cycle.
The full Flower Moon in Sagittarius will peak on May 23 at 9:53 a.m. ET.
Aside from the solar opposition, the full moon in Sagittarius will also join forces with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. Luna and Pluto retrograde have a complementary relationship where they can play off each other’s strengths. The full moon will have a “bigger and better” attitude that Pluto retrograde can transform. Together, these two heavenly bodies have an “out with the old, in with the new” effect. You may benefit from this because it will alleviate the potential sentimentality of one cycle ending while a new one begins. Aside from that, Pluto retrograde may bring something back up from the lunar cycle, but in a new light. Unexpected information or insight may come as you reflect on the six months.
