The full moon in Sagittarius, like any full moon, represents a culmination point in the lunar cycle when the Sun and the Moon are in opposite signs. Sagittarius is a fire sign in astrology, known for its adventurous, expansive, and philosophical nature. When the full moon occurs in Sagittarius, it infuses the lunar energy with the qualities associated with this sign.

How can we connect to the Sagittarius full moon:

💫 Expansion and exploration: Sagittarius is symbolised by the Archer, aiming its arrow toward distant horizons. Therefore, the Sagittarius full moon encourages us to expand our horizons, explore new possibilities, and embrace adventure. It's a time to seek out new experiences, broaden our perspectives, and step out of our comfort zones.

💫 Optimism and enthusiasm: Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance and optimism. As such, the Sagittarius full moon often brings a sense of enthusiasm, optimism, and positivity. It's time for us to focus on the opportunities that lie ahead and approach life with a sense of hope and faith in the future.

💫 Seeking truth and wisdom: Sagittarius is associated with the pursuit of truth, knowledge, and wisdom. During the Sagittarius full moon, there's a heightened desire to seek out deeper meaning, explore philosophical questions, and expand our understanding of the world. It's a beautiful time for seeking spiritual exploration, higher learning, and intellectual pursuits.

💫 Freedom and independence: Sagittarius values freedom and independence, and the full moon in this sign may encourage us to break free from limitations, restrictions, or outdated beliefs that are holding us back. It's a time to embrace our individuality, assert our independence, and live life on our own terms.

💫 Adventure and spontaneity: The Sagittarius full moon is a time to embrace spontaneity, take risks, and embrace the spirit of adventure. It's a time for travel, or booking that dream holiday destination, exploration, and trying new things. This energy encourages us to be bold, courageous, and open-minded in our approach to life.

Letting go during a full moon ritual is often seen as important for several reasons:

🌕 Release of negativity: Full moons are associated with the culmination of energy, making them an opportune time for releasing what no longer serves us. Letting go of negative emotions, past grievances, or limiting beliefs during the full moon allows us to make space for more positive energy and growth in our lives, its also a time in the month just to check in with yourself and give some need space to home in to your thoughts and feelings. 

🌕 Emotional healing: Holding onto negative emotions or past traumas can weigh us down and hinder our emotional well-being. Letting go during the full moon offers an opportunity for emotional healing and liberation. Releasing pent-up emotions or resentments can promote inner peace, gratitude practice, forgiveness, and emotional clarity helping us step forward into next phase of the cycle. 

🌕 Manifest abundance: In many spiritual practices, the act of letting go is closely tied to the process of manifesting abundance. By releasing attachment to specific outcomes or desires during the full moon, we create space for new opportunities and blessings to flow into our lives. Letting go allows us to surrender to the natural flow of life and trust in the universe's abundance.

🌕 Renewal and rejuvenation: Letting go during the full moon is akin to shedding old skin and making way for new growth. It's a time for renewal, rejuvenation, and personal transformation. By releasing stagnant energy and outdated patterns, we create space for personal growth, expansion, and positive change.

For us here at Universal Movement we offer you a safe space to letting go during the full moon is we see this as an important practice for emotional, spiritual, and personal growth. It allows us to release what no longer serves us, make space for new beginnings, and align with the natural, cyclical living, cycles of the universe.
