Full Moon in Sagittarius June 11th. Growth through challenge.

This full moon takes place on June 11th at 20 degrees Sagittarius. The Full Moon is in square to the south node and north node of the moon. Currently transiting through Virgo and Pisces at 22 degrees. A Full Moon full of movement and bold energy.

When planets are coming in square to the nodes it usually means a stuckness in the middle. Tension, challenge, friction. An integration point. The expression of the planet's energy in that case.  

A Full Moon in Sagittarius is usually about a culmination of some sort of teaching or travel plan. Being outdoors and spending time in nature. The Full Moon in Sagittarius in opposition to Gemini is reading versus experiencing a subject. 

The ruler of this Full Moon has just moved fro Gemini into a new sign Cancer. The change of the element Air to Water. Jupiter travelling from the mind to the watery field of emotions.

 When the Full Moon is square to the lunar nodes it means that the sun and moon are both squaring the nodes. The inner and the outer. How you feel or how you shine is what will both be illuminated. The ego versus the emotional needs. So therefore I think you can expect the following themes around this Full Moon: 

A Crossroads or Pivotal Moment: The Full Moon illuminates and brings to culmination certain energies. In this case the sagittarius energy. When this illumination is squared by the nodes, it implies a significant point of decision or a period where you are pushed to confront choices related to your past patterns (South Node Virgo) versus your destined path (North Node Pisces).

Tension Between Past and Future: There can be a feeling of being pulled in different directions – between what is familiar and comfortable (South Node in Virgo) and what you need to embrace for growth and evolution (North Node in Pisces). The Full Moon highlights the emotional intensity of this conflict.

Need for Integration and Resolution: The square demands that you actively work to integrate these opposing energies. It's not about choosing one over the other but finding a way to synthesize the lessons from your past with your future aspirations.

Potential for Growth through Challenge: While squares can feel difficult, they are also powerful catalysts for growth. This alignment suggests that by navigating the tension and making conscious choices, you can make significant strides in your personal and spiritual development. Sagittarius energy is about expansion and teaching. Travelling or studying abroad. In which area of life do you want to expand? 

Illumination of Karmic Themes: The Full Moon brings clarity, and it is square to the nodes can illuminate long-standing karmic patterns or unresolved issues that need to be addressed for further progress on your life path.

In summary, a Full Moon square to the lunar nodes is a potent astrological configuration that emphasizes a period of heightened awareness and potential tension around your soul's journey, pushing you to confront ingrained habits and make conscious choices that align with your evolutionary path.

For a deeper understanding of this full moon energy you will need to take a look at your own natal chart. Take a look if the full moon makes any aspects to planets or points in your chart. 

We have Mars in Leo to support us. It is aspecting this full Moon. Mars in a fixed and bold fire sign is helping us to take action. Embrace the need to go outside and visit different places. The energy of fire is about movement. To add to this energizing full moon Uranus is making a square to Mars.

This is an interesting combination of astrological energies! I hope you navigate these energies well.

Recap: Full Moon Square Lunar Node
As discussed, this configuration brings a moment of heightened awareness, tension, and crucial decisions related to your karmic path. It highlights the dynamic between past patterns (South Node) and your evolutionary future (North Node). There's a strong push to resolve and integrate these energies, often through challenging but ultimately growth-oriented circumstances.

Mars in Leo explained:

 Mars: Represents action, drive, courage, passion, assertion, and how we express our will. It's the planet of initiation and getting things done.

 Leo: A fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. It's associated with creativity, self-expression, confidence, leadership, drama, charisma, and a desire to be seen and appreciated. It thrives on recognition and can be very proud and determined.

When Mars is in Leo, the drive and action (Mars) take on a bold, dramatic, and confident expression. 

When Mars transits through Leo for a few weeks you will often become more assertive, courageous, and passionate about your creative pursuits.

This combination suggests that the intense, pivotal energy of the Full Moon squaring the nodes finds a powerful and facilitated outlet through the direct and courageous energy of Mars in Leo.

Here's what we can expect from Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus:

Empowered Action towards Destiny: The tension of the Full Moon square the nodes demands action and resolution regarding your life path. The trine from Mars in Leo provides the courage, passion, and drive to actually take those actions. Instead of being stuck in indecision or conflict, you'll feel a strong urge to move forward boldly and confidently towards your destined path.

Creative Expression as a Solution: Leo is a creative sign. This trine can mean that creative self-expression becomes a key avenue for navigating the nodal challenges. You might find solutions or breakthroughs by engaging in creative projects, expressing yourself authentically, or taking a leading role in a situation.

 Confidence to Address Karmic Issues: The Full Moon illuminates hidden truths and brings things to a head. Mars in Leo grants you the confidence and assertiveness to face any uncomfortable karmic patterns or past issues that arise. You won't shy away from necessary confrontations or decisions.

 Charismatic Leadership: If the Full Moon is bringing a culmination or crisis that requires leadership, Mars in Leo provides the charisma and drive to step into that role. You might find yourself naturally leading others or taking charge in a situation that helps move the nodal agenda forward.

Dramatic but Productive Outcomes: While the square to the nodes can still indicate internal or external friction, the trine from Mars in Leo suggests that the way you tackle these challenges will be dynamic and perhaps even a bit dramatic, but ultimately productive. You're not just reacting; you're acting with purpose and flair.

 Avoidance of Complacency (due to the square): While trines can sometimes lead to laziness, the underlying square to the nodes prevents this. As is the square to Uranus. The inherent tension of the squares will push you to utilize the harmonious energy of Mars in Leo actively. It's not a lazy trine; it's a trine that provides the fuel to deal with a significant internal or external crossroads.

Expect a period where significant karmic or destined events come to a head (Full Moon square Nodes), and you'll feel a powerful, confident, and perhaps even dramatic urge to act on them (Mars in Leo square Uranus ). This is an excellent time for bold self-expression, decisive action, and courageously moving towards your authentic purpose, using your inherent strengths and talents to navigate any challenges that arise from past patterns. It's a supportive energy for active and courageous self-actualization.

Full Moon energies are active a few days before and after a full moon.
