The Full Moon in Sagittarius occurs today morning at 7:52 a.m. EDT, when the Moon opposes the Sun in Gemini. The Full Moon is an emotional time, a time of passion, fertility, and relationships, as well as a time of culmination. The Sun in Gemini urges us to give greater attention to facts and reasoning, while the Moon in Sagittarius pushes us to think more broadly and intuitively. Sagittarius represents the search for significance and for concepts that go beyond the “here and now.” Gemini is at ease in its immediate surroundings, whereas Sagittarius encourages us to expand our horizons. Neglecting either end of the axis will backfire, so find a happy medium. This Full Moon is all about communicating, having a positive attitude, and having a spirit of adventure. It forms a square with Neptune, and new information could lead to a diversion from our goals currently. We must be wary of misinformation. Its harmony with Saturn, on the other hand, helps to ground us and draws on our perseverance and will to improve. Today, Mercury’s semi-square to Chiron suggests some hesitancy in making judgments. This transit pushes us to be more sensitive in our communication.
The Moon is void from 10:59 AM EDT, when it makes its final aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), to 6:15 PM EDT, when it enters Capricorn.

In astrology, what is the Full Moon?
Full moons represent the beginnings of manifestation and climaxes (pun intended). This craziness has the ability to awaken everyone’s inner animal. While astrologers normally equate this side effect with desire, it can also lead to disputes, and statistics suggest that crime really increases during full moons. I don’t say this to suggest that every time a huge, lovely full moon appears in the sky, people suddenly turn into some modern millennial version of Michael J. Fox in the 1985 movie Teen Wolf; rather, it’s to emphasize how powerful these cycles can be on many people.
The waning phase follows the full moon, when the moon appears to shrink and is a lovely time for protective work. (If you’re interested in learning more, we’ve written a guide about moon phases and how to incorporate the lunar cycle into your magical practice, so check it out.) It’s a huge year for our planet’s gigantic disco ball, with a full moon in Capricorn in July that could bring prosperity to your professional life and a messy and dramatic Aries full moon in October. And if you think full moons are dramatic, wait until you see what happens during the two full moons and lunar eclipses that occur in sensuous Taurus and magnetic Scorpio in May and November.
What does a Full Moon symbolize in terms of spirituality?
The Sun symbolizes spirit on a symbolic level (or insert your preferred word of choice, whether divinity or universe or fill-in-the-blank). The Moon represents both the physical and emotional bodies. The full Moon is a moment to be receptive, to allow spirit’s light and awareness to enter your emotional and physical body.
On an energetic level, what is going on during the new Moon is typically happening unknowingly, in the shadows, and is not yet ready to be illuminated. The full Moon improves your awareness and ability to receive insights that have been approaching you by the time you reach it. This occurs at the same moment when the Moon is about to reach fullness. This awareness can help you get clarity and awe about what is going on in your life and when it is happening.
The full Moon isn’t a single-day event or a snapshot in time. It is a Moon phase that is active for at least three days. Allowing oneself to truly be with the Moon during its full phase and whatever comes up for you can become an emotional mastery practice, especially in the days leading up to the lunar event.
Take note of what arises in your emotional body for you. What exactly is it that is being illuminated? What actions or thoughts are no longer able to remain hidden in the shadows? What darkness can’t hold up to the light any longer? What unhelpful mental processes, self-destructive habits, or problematic communication styles need to be addressed specifically? Perhaps you can get the courage to make a change or seek assistance at this time.
Know that you are being spoken to in your dreams, whether you sob, discover inspiration, or have revelatory insights. You’re being shown the emotional and psychological aspects of a reality that wasn’t completely obvious during the New Moon but is now within your grasp. It’s a never-ending process.
What kind of retrograde are we in right now?
The first retrograde will occur between January 14 and February 3, 2022. The second retrograde will occur between May 10 and June 3, 2022. The third retrograde will occur between September 9 and October 2, 2022. The fourth retrograde will occur between December 29 and January 18, 2023.
On a full moon, what should you do?
People are generally moody, sensitive, and tired in the days leading up to a full Moon. It’s a good idea to take a moment and ask yourself how you’re feeling physically and mentally. How are your personal and professional relationships? Being aware of your emotions will help you stay grounded and make beneficial adjustments more quickly. The full Moon is an excellent opportunity to reflect and re-calibrate.
What does the term “wolf moon” mean?
The Wolf Moon, according to the Farmer’s Almanac, is a nickname for a full moon that occurs in January. It’s said to be named by the fact that wolves howl more frequently in the winter, which is always when this craziness occurs. Given the paucity of food supplies throughout the winter, it was long assumed that wolves’ increased howling at this time of year was due to hunger. However, biologists now know that howling is a territorial behavior that wolves engage in during the colder months to establish their territory and announce their presence.
The astrological themes of this full moon, on a metaphorical level, match the survivalist feelings of its nickname’s origin story, as this Wolf Moon is all about protection, security, and empowerment. With the sun in Capricorn, the earth sign, we’ll be focusing on themes of prosperity, authority, and material stability this month. The moon, however, will be in the maternal sign of Cancer during the time of this lunation. This may make us feel more sensitive and in need of nurturing by bringing up sentiments and difficulties related to our homes, families, and emotional well-being.
We may, however, need to find ways to care for ourselves. This full moon will collide with Pluto, the secretive and meticulous planet, bringing our shadowy sides to the fore and reawakening our survival instincts. Face-to-face confrontations with our anxieties and insecurities are difficult, thus this lunation could be emotionally draining. On the plus side, it allows us to stand up for our inner selves and open our hearts to self-compassion, which is one of Cancer’s most powerful characteristics. Owning our vulnerability strengthens us, and this lunation emphasizes the significance of accepting, loving, and caring for ourselves, no matter how engrossed we become in the Capricorn season’s themes of labor, money, or financial success.
What effect does a full moon have on a person?
The gravitational pull of the moon varies as it approaches the Earth, and the Earth’s big bodies of water respond with greater tides.
Scientists have speculated that shifting gravitational pulls may have an impact on how fluids respond inside your body. This is what they discovered.
May affect blood pressure
Researchers investigated the effects of changing lunar cycles on the cardiovascular systems of male university students in a 2013 study. During the new and full moon phases, blood pressure dropped by about 5 mm Hg, according to the researchers.
A step test was also given to the students. During full and new moons, their heart rate and blood pressure were both lower. Moreover, at full and new moons, their heart rates reverted to normal faster.
Researchers found that humans were more physically efficient during full and new moons in this study. However, other research, such as a 2020 study on male athletes that revealed no significant variation in athletic performance during different lunar phases, contradicts this finding.
