Lunar Living Astrology

This Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius is likely to have us struggling to get over a few rough patches. Not everything is going to be challenging, but there are going to be some situations that will require extra attention. The opposition between the Sun and Moon is a solo aspect that doesn't require us to blend or balance the influences to either of these positions.

Where we start to struggle are the Mercury and Jupiter conjunction in Cancer to Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This a series of squares that sextile over to Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. We can add in some out of sign sextiles to Mars in Leo, squared back to Uranus in Taurus, and another couple of out of sign sextiles to Saturn and Neptune in Aries. Collectively, these all bring up frustrations that we want to ignore, but won't really be allowed. We are being expected to follow through on complicated projects, take responsibility for promises made, and at the same time, find new ways to fulfill our obligations since the old ways aren't working out.

Another perspective of the difficult series of aspects ties Jupiter and Mercury in Cancer over to Venus in Taurus with a sextile, that is square to Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, and quincunx back to Mercury. The significance of this is the impact it could have on our safety, security, and finances. Planning for a disaster or finding a quick way to bounce back from a potential accident could help us to get through a difficult situation, but is no guarantee of success. Mercury's quincunx to Pluto throws another layer of frustration onto the day as we find our communications thwarted by misinformation. Then, let's not overlook the fact that Mercury and Jupiter are square to Saturn and Neptune in Aries. That adage “go big or go home” is likely to be a double whammy.... Going home empty handed in a big way is not what we want, but likely will be the outcome if we don't watch our inclination to over react to minimal situations.

All in all, this full moon is likely to cause us to feel the need to hide from the frustrations. If we don't hide, we may act out in ways that undo any progress we've made over the past few months. Watch out for depression and aggression, since neither benefits us in the long run. Trying to fix the damage we create during this full moon will not simply arrive with an apology. So tamping down our reactions will be the best option. Adapting will be a weak point for us, and trying to hold everyone else accountable will back fire. Don't be the victim and don't be the aggressor. Out witting others will be in the form of ignoring their bad behavior, holding our tongue, and potentially, journaling about our frustrations in private. We are in for a rough day of antics, be it our own, or from others.
