Full Moon - 20 Sagittarius - 6/11/06

Full moons tend to be stressful, as they concern the tension between two opposite signs. The opposition is about relationships, and since this full moon highlights the friction between Gemini and Sagittarius, we get caught up in disagreements about our thoughts (Gemini) and beliefs (Sagittarius). Gemini loves facts, Sag loves theories.

This Full Moon in Sagittarius is conjunct Pluto. Pluto in Sag relates to extremism and the uncovering of dirt in publishing (James Frey, Kaavya Viswanathan), religion (sex abuse scandals, The Da Vinci Code, Al Queda, the religious right), higher education (Duke rape scandal) and international relations (immigration, border issues). These issues will be illuminated during the Full Moon, and you may also experience these themes in your own life. Is there anything in your life regarding issues of belief, faith, religion, philosophy or the world at large that you've been hiding, or that you have been compulsive about? Now is the time to come clean.

The Moon is also making a stressful square to Uranus and a beneficial sextile to Neptune. Uranus squares tend to be surprising and disruptive. However, Neptune can soften the edges, allowing us to indulge in our dreams.
