The Full Moon at 20’39 Sagittarius is exact on Wednesday June 11th, 2025 at 3:44am EDT- marking the midway point of the current Lunar Cycle we are in that began with the New Moon in Gemini on May 26th. The New Moon in Gemini chart had SO MUCH GEMINI in it- including Mercury, Sedna, Hygeia, Sun and Moon, and Jupiter all in Gemini. It was a MASSIVE new beginning activation for the Gemini part of your chart- like honestly next level new beginning. I believe it was the precursor to Uranus into Gemini happening in July- so make sure you pay attention to what has been incoming for you in this Lunar Cycle with an eye on what is to come in very soon!!!
With the New Moon in Gemini and the Full Moon in Sagittarius- this entire Lunar Cycle is focused on information, perception, and ideas and how those inform our beliefs and attitudes in the world. As the old axiom states- if you want to change your life you need to be willing to change your thoughts and beliefs as they inform what you see, what you attract and what direction your life goes in. This entire Lunar Cycle’s teaching would be best summarized as coming back to Beginner’s Mind- that place where we are open to the Universe showing us what we could not see before. But in order to do that we have to be willing to confront our beliefs and attitudes- as these are the very things that block us from seeing. As Jesus said- we must have the eyes to see and the ears to hear- and limiting beliefs are like blackout sheets over the eyes or wax build up in the ears!
This Full Moon in is in a Grand Cross with the Nodes of Destiny & Karma- bringing us to some profound turning points around beliefs, truth, thinking and perceiving. Anytime one Planet or Luminary squares the Nodes we can find ourselves at a crossroads- but this is the Sun and Moon square the Nodes forming a Solar and Lunar Nodal Cross. With the North Node of Destiny in Pisces- the evolutionary path is one of faith, trust and surrender. Letting go of the linear, logical mind that sees things in limited, unchanging ways is key to tap the magic of the North Node in Pisces ;)
The Shadow of the Gemini/Sagittarius axis needs to be worked with. Gemini’s tendency is to flit from thing to thing and just grasp the surface. Gemini is also constantly changing its mind and staying stuck in the mind as well. Sagittarius thinks it knows everything and that it is solely the teacher and that everyone should listen to him or her ;) Add in the Virgo South Node- and we can be stuck in our heads, analyzing till the cows come home and missing what is right in front of us. The old adage ‘a pickpocket sees a holy man and all he sees are pockets’ is a great reminder that WHAT WE LOOK FOR WE WILL SEE- and also WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR LIMITS OUR ABILITY TO SEE ANYTHING BEYOND THAT LEVEL OR LAYER OF PERCEPTION.
With Jupiter the Ruler of the Lunation just having ingressed into Cancer on June 9th- we now have the Greater Benefic in his Sign of Exaltation. He is well placed here because the expansive, belief oriented energy of Jupiter is being attuned to the mothering, emotional, empathic and intuitional realms. The problem with beliefs is when we are coming from a heady/intellectual place with beliefs- divorced from our hearts and feelings- we can believe all kinds of things that are ungrounded and unfounded. But when we are centered in our hearts and our beliefs come from this place- our beliefs will have alignment and some sense of connection to humanity. Cancer is the Great Mother after all – like Quan Yin she feels the suffering of the world and is there to soothe us as we move through this human experience.

Jupiter is widely conjunct the Sun and widely opposite the Moon in the Full Moon chart. The Moon will oppose Jupiter at 10:54pm EDT later that same evening as the Full Moon and the Sun will align with Jupiter on June 24th (my birthday!)- followed by a New Moon in Cancer on June 25th- so we are heading into quite the Jupiterian Portal of expansion, opportunity, openings and positivity that is incoming. MAKE THE MOST OF IT (look to the Cancer part of your chart to get insight into where this will be incoming in your life).
There is a lot of tense Pluto to personal Planets in the Full Moon chart- sesquiquadrate the Sun, semisquare the Moon, quincunx Mercury and square Venus. Jupiter will be quincunxing Pluto on June 23rd as well. Pluto is the Great Transformer but he always requires a death first before a rebirth can occur. Our willingness to die to an old self is the sacrifice we must make at the altar of Pluto. The ego does not like this kind of astrology but all the outer Planets make great aspects to Pluto- sextile Saturn, trine Uranus and sextile Neptune. So our Higher Selves know that this kind of purging and intensity is just what the doctor ordered- and there is actually quite a bit of grace and ease unfolding around this Plutonian portal from Higher Dimensional energies.
Jupiter is squaring the Saturn/Neptune conjunction- which is not exact until February 2026 but comes VERY CLOSE early July as they both Station Retrograde. Jupiter is expansion, Saturn is contraction. Jupiter is possibility, Saturn is reality. The last of 3 Jupiter/Saturn squares happens very close to the Aries Point- which is most definitely reflected in the news around the world from protests to volcanos erupting (we can also thank Chiron conjunct Eris for all of that). But the deeper inward process around this square is how can we express our blocked emotions in ways that support healing, and also what do we need to do to take our dreams and ideals and bring them into form and manifestation? Paying attention to what is up for you right now and into early to mid July when Saturn and Neptune get their closest this year is key- as very big hints and even directions from the Universe can be incoming about what to do to prepare for the very significant Saturn/Neptune conjunction at the Aries point that happens next year.
In the Full Moon Chart the Moon is very Out of Bounds- not at Maximum as that was in March earlier this year- but darn near close. Emotions are magnified as the Moon comes closer to Earth- so working with them in healthy ways is key. The Moon will walk the land at the Callanish Standing Stones- which happened last Summer and this Summer and then will not happen again in this way for another 18-19 years. Last summer the Moon crosses over the Galactic Center right before appearing to walk the land- this year the GC alignment is after the Moon walks the land. The Moon/GC alignment is exact in the afternoon of the 11th which can bring Truths and Messages from the Center of our Milky Way Galaxy. Dream incubation overnight June 10th into the morning of the 11th is highly recommended. You can watch my Video on the Major Lunar Standstill here- https://youtu.be/GYud7j9n6K4?si=nLz7e_TDteyB1zE2
There are several asteroids that show up in the chart but I am going to focus on one- Saturn and Neptune are both conjunct Orpheus. The myth of Orpheus is one of mourning and loss. His beloved Eurydice gets bit by a snake and dies. He is so in love with her and so bereaved that he travels down to the Underworld to try to bring her back to life. Typically if you go down to the Underworld you are stuck there but he charms Hades with his beautiful music and both he and Persephone allow him to take Eurydice back up to the land of the living but there is one condition: on his way out he must walk in front of her and NOT LOOK BACK. As soon as he gets to the upper world he looks back but she had not yet crossed over to the upper world and so he lost her for the second time- but this time forever.
Out of this great grief of losing his beloved twice- Orpheus pours his heart into his music and poetry and he moves people emotionally (Jupiter in Cancer can help open those floodgates!). Orpheus in a chart can symbolize sad, sweet or haunting music, lyrics or poetry- a sense of mourning or loss, grief for what you don’t have or what has left your life- or for what might have been or once was, and contact with death (Martha Long Westscott). With Saturn and Neptune aligned with Orpheus- I sense that this ending and new beginning on the reset point of the entire Tropical Zodiac is asking all of us as a humanity to grieve our losses. The problem with stuffed or denied grief is it tends to convert into anger, rage and violence OR get internalized and become illness and disease. Grieving opens the heart and allows for empathy and connection with others. Grief is not a fun emotion because it makes you feel vulnerable and it brings you to your knees. Anger is often easier for people (not everyone though- particularly women who have been taught to stuff their anger)- because it makes you feel powerful and like you are in charge.
So I feel into this Full Moon square the Nodes with the North Node of Destiny in Pisces and the Ruler of the Lunation being Jupiter now in Cancer and I can see that the medicine of the moment is to FEEL and get in touch with our emotions and get out of our heads and into our hearts. We need to stop arguing around beliefs and truth and come back to Beginner’s Mind and see/feel/experience the lived reality of others in order to find common ground. We need to get in touch with our deepest grief and also our deepest Love as they are the only emotions that have the power to heal humanity right now. Anger needs to be expressed and released but anger tends to be divisive. But Love is inclusive and relational and has a healing movement of bringing people together. And that is what the world needs right now- so may it be.
I leave you with the Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon- which is all about learning through imitation. This degree talks about a level of consciousness that is as yet unreachable- but the process of growth can be accelerated by finding people/ideals we can try to live up to by copying them (fake it till you make it!). The Star Sparks degree for me evokes the Grand Cross energy of this Full Moon square the Nodes. This degree talks about how our own individual learning to bring all of self to meet all of life, with no polarity suffering or in the shadows- we can then become a collective clearing house for emergent evolutionary currents to be able to reconcile the irreconcilable. Can you imagine what the world could be like if more of us became these ‘collective clearing house’? WOW! SO MAY IT BE! (You can read the full text for the symbols below.)
Have a blessed Grand Cross Full Moon!

SABIAN SYMBOL
PHASE 261 (SAGITTARIUS 21° DEGREE): A CHILD AND A DOG WEARING BORROWED EYEGLASSES.
KEYNOTE: The use of imagination and make-believe in anticipating higher stages of development.
This rather peculiar symbol seems to imply here that by imitating features belonging to a level of consciousness as yet unreachable, the process of growth may be accelerated. Eyeglasses symbolize intellectual development; the chiefs of primitive tribes in some instances have sought to impress their people by wearing spectacles without glass, or western hats – simply because these objects seemed characteristic of a race of superior people. This is similar to the process of growth by identification with a ‘Master’ or guru. In a sense it is mere pretending or make-believe, yet wearing the ‘mask’ of a god the medicine man at the time becomes for all practical purposes the incarnation of the god. Growth is always a hierachical process, even if the growing entity is not aware of it.
This is the first of five symbols constituting the fifty-third sequence. It suggests the value of LEARNING THROUGH IMITATION.

Omni-directional sensing of this ritual occasion opens doors at all levels. Feeling into what is at hand. By knowing it, you greatly further it.
We are in a co-creative continuum between what is directly sense- present and our own interior resource. We are meant to tap in the fullest way the sense cues, the signals, the signs and the portents. Yet we are even more sharply motivated to reach back inside and find a creative response that shifts the pattern from potential to actual.
So we stay plugged into the subtle web-weaving between self and world. The collective becomes the self. And the self in turn is quintessentially there for what everybody is going through.
It is so very tricky to operate this way. Very few can hold the balance. Most times, we forget who we are, become our world, and wonder whatever happened to us. Or we can retire into our own hidden places and lose the world altogether.
The skill we must master here is an advanced one. It involves simultaneously, fluently, in the very moment becoming self, becoming world, breathing out, breathing in, with no further preferences nor special desire clusters. We need to be at one with the life pulse authentically.
If we ever can wield this influence well, we will then be able to bring all of self to meet all of life, with neither pole suffering nor in shadows. We will become a collective clearing house for emergent evolutionary currents to be able to reconcile the irreconcilable.
Then it will turn out that this one in here is a sense organ for the whole planet, and that they are absolutely fulfiled in affirming and giving voice to the shared spirit in all its many guises, with celebrational gusto and contagious spark.
