The Full Moon is the 27th or 28th, depending on your time zone. Exact time is Thursday the 27th, at 7:07 pm EDT.

This full Moon is in Sagittarius, the one that casts ahead into the future, looking for a target to aim for. It's the sign of the seeker, with a special kind of sight that's sweeping and often prophetic.

It's also a faithful sign that can't help but spread sunshine wherever it goes. Ruled by Jupiter, it's propelled by a belief that things happen for a reason, and there's a higher purpose we don't fully understand. It's a time to ask for faith, if you're feeling discouraged, and be open to seeing things in a new way. Full Moons reveal and illuminate. Be watchful for synchronicity and signs, and dreams that hint at a pathway to follow.

At this Full Moon, we may suddenly connect the dots, and see the Big Picture about a situation in our lives. The Sun is opposite in Gemini, spinning the wheels of the mind at a whirly pace. This is egged on, as Uranus moves into Aries later on the 27th (at 9:44 pm EDT), the sign of fresh starts. We all sense we're swimming in toxic waters collectively, and it's high time to set a fire in the collective mind.

Sacrifice

Saturn (structure) is still opposing Uranus (shattering old forms), and tag-along Jupiter (in Pisces)is there to magnify that tension. It's a strange sensation of being ecstatic and high on our ambitions one minute, and hitting harsh realities and limitations the next. A mash up of mystical optimism, and doom and gloom can have us seesawing back and forth with our moods.

As we expand our worldview with this Full Moon, it may become clear where we need to make life changes. With Saturn in practical Virgo, we can see what's in our control at the moment and work on that. A routine that allows for some continuity is helpful as an anchor for your day.

Consequences

This is a very challenging time to be alive. The Earth itself is undergoing a major transformation as we speak, with the oil killing our oceans. It's something that was bound to happen, with a world taking and not giving back. I thought this quote was apt: "The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to a close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences." ~Winston Churchill via astrologer David Crook of San Francisco

Against these harsh Saturnian realities, that we're reaching the end of the old way of living, we can see with our spiritual Jupiterian eyes. That even in a dark hour, there is much to be experienced, seen and learned. We might have flashes of knowing that zoom us ahead to where we need/want to be.

Some possible themes
• Moments of exquisite aliveness, realizing the magic that's all around us everyday.
• A greater appreciation for the diverse species we share the planet with.
•A growing global connection, as people band together for a unified response to societal/environmental/economic change.
• More hidden truths revealed, with networks of people making/sharing the news and facts on the ground.
