Urania’s Mirror Sagittarius and Corona Australis Sidney Hall [Public domain]
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. Sagittarius is the last and most mature of the fire signs. 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 also rules the sign of Pisces traditionally.
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 “women who run with the wolves” energy and spirit for wisdom if you need.
The Tarot Major Arcana for SAGITTARIUS is #14 Temperance /ALCHEMY or ART
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.
FULL Moon Meditation SYMBOLIC Correspondences
All Full Moons are the most fertile times and mark high tides and completion cycles. It is a time to look at what we have brought to completion and to let go as the energy of the moon will wain down to New moon in two weeks. Sagittarius Full Moons call us to be in nature. Lighting a bonfire or a small candle in your room aligns you with the fire element.
NEW MOON SAGITTARIUS MEDITATION
Uses the same symbols and associations. But a New or Dark Moon energy is very Yin, feminine, internal, and represents a time of new beginning.

CEREMONIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Gather and set up your sacred circle and alter with any associated images.
SMUDGE WITH SAGE or lavender
Begin by smudging yourself first. Light your candles. One for each direction. I always work EAST to SOUTH to WEST TO NORTH. Always move clockwise. Call in the four elements and the four directions into your sacred circle.
Call in the four Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Ariel, Raphael in the same order.
Center yourself by breathing, sit in a lotus position if you can. You can do this ritual outdoors. It would be good to be barefoot and sitting on the earth. Light your candles and incense and close your eyes.
Set your intentions on expanding your ability to connect with your Holy Guardian Angel and the Higher Master Teachers which Jupiter governs.
Breathe in through your nose naturally, breathing and sending your intention to your root chakra. Connect your breath down by growing a tail with each breath that grows down from the base of your spine, down into the earth’s molten lava iron core.
When you feel the connection to the earth’s fire, breathe it up through the rocks and crystals back up into your root chakra and breathe it up in sequence from the lowest 1st root chakra up to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th chakras. You can also send your energy breath and intention out and beyond your crown chakra to the 8th and 9th chakras. The 8th is your Higher self, it is Gold about 1 foot above your head. The Peruvian shamans send energy to a 9th chakra which symbolizes the Galactic Center and beyond, the Viracocha. Direct your energy out there, and call upon your Holy Guardian Angel and Michael and Uriel and the Master Teachers to come and connect with you.
Now direct your attention within. See your inner feminine and inner masculine sides. Sense their individual energies. Watch them yearn for each other and sense them pouring into the other. Watch the masculine become feminine and the feminine becomes masculine. Sense and feel this new essence, this TEMPERANCE energy of #14 Tarot Arcana, sense this unified golden wholeness within your being that has been transformed into a completely new you. Feel yourself radiate the Gold. Sound AUM or OHM.
Send this energy out into the world.
For those of you who are single and still longing to find your soulmate, doing this exercise is mandatory to magnetically attract your “other half” to you.
Ask your Holy Guardian Angel or Higher self to converse with you. Allow, joy, ecstasy and laughter to erupt inside of you. It may feel like a total body orgasm. This is your natural state.
Take as much time as you need. When you feel complete. Give thanks. Know that your Guardian Angel will always and protect you.
Come out of your meditation and dance. Celebrate, howl, do something generous for a stranger, Keep the energy and optimism going. Start the new seasons wherever you are in the world feeling balanced whole and complete.
