On Sunday, June 11, the Moon will be Full in the fire sign of Sagittarius. The energy of the Moon in Sagittarius can manifest as idealism, spontaneity and animated enthusiasm, or it may make us feel restless, with a desire for adventure, change and motion. It's a good time for sports and travel. People often feel extremely philosophical, intuitive or prophetic during a Sagittarius Moon. It also stimulates our aspirations for self-improvement and is a good time for intellectual affairs. This Full Moon in Sagittarius will feel particularly advantageous for those with Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo Sun signs.

The Full Moon in June goes by many names: Rose Moon, Moon of Horses, Lover's Moon, Strong Sun Moon, Honey Moon, Aera Litha (before Litha) Moon, Brachmanoth (break month) Moon, Dyad (pair) Moon, and Strawberry Moon.

The power of a June Full Moon brings us abundant but restful energy. The Earth tides are turning and it is a time of light. It is a time to protect, strengthen, and prevent; a time for decision-making and taking responsibility for present happenings. It is an ideal time to work on personal inconsistencies but also to strengthen and reward yourself for your positive traits.

Mercury goes retrograde on July 4, before the next Full Moon on July 10, so now would be a good time to use this strong Full Moon energy to complete any projects before the Mercury retrograde throws a monkey wrench into your efforts.

Spell Work

The Moon will be completely full at 2:03 pm EDT. Note that the Moon goes VOC at 10:34 pm, so best to use this Full Moon energy for any spell work in the time leading up to the hour when the Moon is completely Full. Magickal powers are at their height when the Full Moon illuminates the night, so spells are likely to be most effective performed at midnight the night before or during an hour leading up to 2 pm on Sunday that has the best planetary correspondence for the work you want to do.

A Full Moon in Sagittarius is a good time to work spells relating to travel, sports, truth and honesty and for healing the thighs or liver.
