Rare Blue Sage Full Moon Solstice June 20
This moon is known as the Strawberry Moon to Native Americans and the ROSE MOON in Europe. I like the combo of the Blue Rose Moon or roses and sage, smells wonderful..
These are powerful times we’re living in. The movement of the planets and stars, “as above, so below” indicate our interconnection to point out what we need to integrate in the cosmic round of events.
This is a very rare, very potent synchronistic Blue Full Moon, which occurs at the very last and most critical degree of SAGITTARIUS @ 4:02 am PDT/ 7:02 am EDT/ 11:02 am GMT.
A Blue Moon is when there are 2 full moons in one month or one extra Full Moon in a season. This year there have been 4 since Spring. Once every 19 years the phases of the moon recur on, or near, the same calendar dates.
But to have a Blue Moon on the SOLSTICE is much rarer. This is the first full moon to fall on the June solstice in 1967, which was the beginning of the Hippie PEACE LOVE movement. We are referring to June Solstices here. A December Solstice and Full Moon happened in 2010.
The Next Full Moon exactly on the Solstice in June using GMT will be on June 21, 2062. That is 46 years from now. So better celebrate this BIGGIE!
The Solstice, one of the four major Gateways in the turning of the wheel of the year occurs almost 12 hours after the Full Moon. This is the day of the longest LIGHT in the entire year in the Northern Hemisphere where the energy shifts into the ascent of the FEMININE and vice versa in the Southern. It is a day of balance and honors the SACRED MARRIAGE in the entire world.
Pagans and indigenous peoples worldwide have marked these solstice turning point since time immemorial. There will be tens of thousands at Stonehenge and other major ancient sites. If you do celebrate wiccan or pagan rituals it will be a beautiful night to be outside under the shining Capricorn Full Moon Light, as the moon enters Capricorn 53 minutes after the Full Moon.
The Grand Mutable Cross is also potently powerful and reminds us to stay flexible and to be aware of working with all of the elements. Venus is still conjunct to the SUN in Cancer since June 17th indicating that love and Light and living in harmony are the goals to guide us.
CANCER Sun and Venus times primarily focus on family, home, our childhoods, our moms, our stomachs, what we need to keep us feeling safe and emotionally secure.
29 degrees SAGITTARIUS is the most critical of the 9th signs degrees. It is conjunct to the Galactic Center the Black Hole or cosmic Vagina of our Galaxy. This is the place the Mayans revered as a place for Cosmic REBIRTH and which the December 21st Solstice was aligned with in 2012. We are three and a half years from that shift in Consciousness, we may want to take stock of how far we have come.
This powerful Full Moon is one of alchemical change and transformation. We must stay optimistic and trust, but we must also act.
Symbols for 30 degrees Sagittarius from John Sandbach
By time traveling, a man takes a photograph of dinosaurs. (Omega Symbol) Transforming/Inspired
(Degree Angel Name: Nithael (NIT-ha-EL) The Death of Death, Rejuvenation and Eternal Youth)
So deep are the roots of karma, sometimes when it is only cleared on surface levels it can grow back and then we find ourselves once again in an old pattern. This degree has an instinct for going deep into the self or any problem or complex of circumstances to really contact the source of it. This can give a whole new perspective on reality, and eventually loosen the energetic knot that has bound us.
Chandra Symbol “The completion of a large Persian rug.”
It is a joy to come to the end of a long, arduous task, and the truth is, every minute of our lives is just that – the completion of a process that has been going on so long that its beginnings are far beyond memory’s normal capacity. This degree carries the precious truth that every moment is complete in and of itself, and is full of the richness and abundance of a grand and tremendous history. It personifies cosmic perspective carried to the most glorious and nth degree.
Pleiadian Symbol: A man in a tall hat is reading omens in the smoke from an altar.
Azoth Symbol: People sleeping as they travel near the speed of light.
Seed degree: 27 Pisces. A spider searching its web. (Omega Symbol). By looking at what we have drawn to ourselves karmically we can perceive the depths of our own past.
A ritual sand painting. (Chandra Symbol). When we let go of attachments to permanence, we are able to do what we need to do and finish what we have started.
Fulfillment degree: 23 Virgo. A library is burning. A man therein continues to read. (Omega Symbol). When we sense the vast chain of events of which we are a part, we attain eventually an unshakable patience.
Reflect on the depth of these symbols.
Sagittarius, the 9th sign is known for distant travels, truth, justice, freedom, higher education, philosophy, humor, religion, politics, teachers, optimism, risk-taking, trust, adventure, faith and mysticism.
The root of the word Sagittarius is related to the word sage. A sage is a venerable, older, wise teacher who inspires and passes on valuable information. The Sagittarius mission is to inspire and to point its arrows of truth higher towards the Galactic Center. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, King of the Gods. Jupiter now in VIRGO keeps our mission practical, grounded and humble.
Sagittarius is connected to the Greek Goddess Diana, the wild virgin huntress, Goddess of the Moon. The wolf or the dog is also associated with Sagittarius. Call upon her wild independent wisdom if you need.
The Tarot Major Arcana for SAGITTARIUS is #14 Temperance /ALCHEMY or ART
Thoth Tarot Trump #14 Sagittarius
This is the card of balance and Transformation. It is related to the Philosopher’s stone which symbolizes turning lead {Saturn, matter} into Gold {the Sun or spiritual Light}.
The TEMPERANCE ANGEL symbolizes our Higher Self. It combines the masculine fire {mind} and the feminine water {instincts} to transform both into something entirely new. In this way we combine our shadow selves and become more than we were. This card is also known as the SACRED MARRIAGE card.
At this powerful Full Moon imagine the union of your feeling function, the Feminine intuition and your active fire masculine side. Send that loving union energy throughout your whole body and out into the world. If each one of us does our inner work, the outer world will be transformed.
