Eclipse season begins tomorrow morning at 7:14am EST with the culmination of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees of Sagittarius. The next Eclipse will be at the Solar New Moon on June 10th. This Full Moon is also known as the Flower Moon and it happens to be the closest 'Supermoon' to the Earth this year. Eclipses mark a time of potent possibility, when the energy is used wisely. Generally, Lunar Eclipses are known to signify the surfacing of an emotional awareness of what we can release, like old habits or negative behaviors, while Solar Eclipses can jumpstart new beginnings that appear from the seeds of a New Moon.
A Full Moon means that the Sun and Moon are in opposition, drawing attention to any imbalances between the ego(Sun) and the emotions (Moon). Another way to look at this is as a tug-of-war between assertion and empathy. With the Sun in Gemini, there is a big push to connect, socialize, talk and plan. The Sagittarius Moon wants to set some long-range goals and look further afield than just right now.
Perhaps you feel thwarted in your efforts to make big plans because of all the details that have to be taken care of first. Maybe you are feeling more philosophical about life and don't have the time for idle gossip or chit-chat. Or, maybe you're finally ready to broaden your perspective and move on to bigger and better goals! In any case, it would behoove you to stay centered on the present and take care of necessary details even while expanding your horizons.
The Eclipse energy of this Sagittarian Moon is huge and with Jupiter as the ruler of this Mutable Fire sign, a small blaze can ignite quickly, especially since both the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius square off with Jupiter. It's great if you're ready for it, kind of like a controlled burn of underbrush to make room for new growth. But things can get out of control fast with giant Jupiter's propensity for over-optimism or aggrandizement.
This is where we consider Saturn's role as disciplinarian, along with the fact that he's retrograde, and apply a healthy dose of realism and limitations. Research what it will take using the resources available to you to work toward your desired goal. One step at a time is a good rule of thumb before leaping into your bright and beautiful future. Mercury's interaction with the Sun and Saturn indicate that clear communication and compromise in any collaboration now will earn self-respect and help build a solid foundation for the future.
Expect a few do-overs or setbacks while Mercury is retrograde from May 29th through June 21st. Think as big as you want and work within present guidelines and necessary limits and you will eventually get where you're going. In the meantime, you know the drill... keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground!
