Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse: May 26, 2021

Your Natal Chart & this Full Moon in Sagittarius

First thing first. If you want to know where New + Full Moons are occurring in your specific chart, you’ll need to pull your chart here if you don’t have it already. You can also learn much more about your Natal Chart through the Intro To Astro Course (included in this membership).

You’ll notice the numbers outside of the wheel. This is the degree of your House Cusps. Every sign has 30 degrees, 0 to 29. Like I mention in the Intro To Astro Course, I use Equal Houses, which means that every House Cusp is at the same degree.

This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in Sagittarius at 5 degrees. So, for example, if you have Sagittarius on your 6th House Cusp at 2 degrees, this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse would fall in your 6th House. However, if you have Sagittarius, let’s say, at 15 degrees on your 6th House Cusp, you’ll actually have this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in your 5th House because 5 degrees comes before 15 degrees.

This adds a layer of interpretation for how this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (and all upcoming lunations) will affect you personally.

Danielle’s Sagittarius Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Reflection

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." — Mahatma Gandhi

"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." – Maya Angelou

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."– Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The ability to know that your perceptions are accurate has to happen without others' validation. Intuition is not the result of diet, rituals, or wind chimes. It's the natural consequence of having self-esteem, the greatest power you can have. With self-esteem, your life can broaden into an adventure because you can know in your gut that you can handle the unknown. And you can handle helping others without fear, which is true liberation.”

-Caroline Myss

Sagittarius is known for its resilience. This is, in part, due to its philosophical nature and its mutable composition. It expands through lived experience, continually perceiving the world through new vantage points. It’s truth that it’s after. And sure, it can get lost in its own pontifications, but ultimately it’s here to shine a light on our worldview shapes our reality.

Gemini, the opposite sign, deals with everyday knowledge and facts. Sagittarius strings them together to create a narrative. Both signs are jugglers, with multiple projects always in the air.

This Lunar Eclipse echoes back to 19 years ago, the Spring of 2002. What was happening then? What lessons and themes were emerging? You’ll likely find parallels now. More recently, think back to a year ago, to June 5th and then again to November 30th and December 14th. There is a story unfolding here, likely having to do with how we relate to our local world and our global one, and how such relations shape our understanding.

I’m thinking a lot about language and how it shapes our reality. Words are wands. They carry weight. We live in an environment, it seems, where every headline is an editorial. With the North Node in Gemini, we’re learning to sort through billions of subjective voices. Sagittarius begs the age old question: is there objective truth? What does it mean to be moral, especially in an age of avatar virtue signaling.

These are big questions, I know. But this is where we find ourselves in today’s climate.

This Lunar Cycle kicked off with the New Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus and square Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. Things were bound to be shaken up, the ground literally cracking beneath our feet.

This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is what we make of it all. As I mentioned above, Sagittarius is known to have an opinion or two, but maybe this is an opportunity to look beyond the ever-present football match and ask ourselves a more pressing question: what is it exactly that is guiding us? In other words, what is our purpose?

In the modern (Western) world, purpose has become conflated with work and career. But the purpose of the soul is to evolve, to quiet the mind and the noise, “Your task is not to seek for love,” Rumi professed, “but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” What if our purpose isn’t linear at all? What if, instead, it’s about being fully, 100 percent present to what is?

Our egos are tricky things. They can convince us of all kinds of nonsense.

This Lunar Eclipse square elastic Jupiter newly in Pisces offers us an elevator to higher consciousness, to seeing, as I mentioned on the New Moon in Taurus, through Soul centered eyes. The feeling that anything, is in fact, possible. And that miracles are our birthright.

During one of my courses, we had an extended exercise where we were asked to see our lives from the perspective of our Souls prior to incarnating on Earth. Whatever the belief system one holds, it’s an illuminating practice.

How would we frame our journey up until this point? What is it that our current circumstances are trying to show us? Letting go of where we think it’s going or what we want to happen. Right here, right now, time can swell, our hearts can magnify their resonance and our Spirits can rise.

Imagine that.

I recommend exploring the below affirmation suggestions and then taking the time to write, on separate paper, all of your limiting beliefs, fears, anxieties and negative self-talk and either burn, shred or rip them up. Then in the space allowed, allow for a blessing of light, that only that which is for the highest good be brought forward.
