The Moon of the Sage’s Wisdom: Sagittarius

This illuminating moment calls us to step back from the fast-paced chatter of Gemini season and reflect on the broader meaning of our lives. It’s a time to ask: What are we aiming for? Where is the arrow of our intention pointed?

The Buzz of Pollination Season

Are we living authentically? Are we following our truth, or are we caught up in the distractions of day-to-day life? Use this moon to reconnect with your inner compass!

All of this can of course stir up a healthy desire for freedom and adventure, especially as the weather grows warmer, but it can also bring up feelings of restlessness or dissatisfaction if we feel stuck or limited in our current situation or environment. Challenge yourself to meet these feelings with optimism, knowing that the path forward is always open, even if we can’t see all the steps yet.

Remember that the fire of Sagittarius can help to burn away old patterns of thought and open us up to new perspectives, encouraging us to take risks and trust that the universe will support us.

Herbs for Better Communication

Gemini governs the lungs, arms, and hands, emphasizing communication and breath. Sagittarius rules the hips, thighs, and liver, representing movement, expansion, and detoxification. Keeping these areas in balance can help us stay aligned with the energy of the full moon and this season, preventing any feelings of overextension or burnout. Herbs that support this lunar period help balance the body’s need for expansion and communication, while also grounding the energy that may feel scattered. Some herbs to consider include:

  • Lemon balm: Soothing for the nerves and a great ally for calming an overactive mind, lemon balm supports mental clarity and helps to calm anxiety, making it easier to stay grounded when the mind is buzzing with ideas.

  • Ginger: Warming and stimulating, ginger supports the liver and digestion, helping with detoxification and easing any physical or emotional stagnation. It can also promote circulation, keeping the body in flow with Sagittarius's expansive energy.

  • Licorice root: A harmonizer, licorice supports the lungs and the liver, helping with both communication and detoxification. It is also great for easing stress and supporting the adrenal system during times of high mental activity.

  • Lavender: Lavender helps calm the nervous system and supports restful sleep, which is essential when mental energy is high. Its soothing aroma can also help ease tension in the lungs and the heart.
