Sagittarius Full Moon: Ignite Your Inner Fire and Explore Boundless Wisdom

Sagittarius, the archer, represents a thirst for knowledge and the exploration of the unknown.


Sagittarius is a fire sign and it burns brightly with passion, ambition, and adventure. In this full moon phase, the Sagittarian energy radiates wisdom, expansion, and spiritual exploration, inviting us to broaden our horizons and reach for the stars.


Interestingly, this full moon in Sagittarius is aspected closely by Jupiter, Uranus and Rahu. Jupiter, being the ruling planet of Sagittarius, amplifies its fiery qualities, leading us towards personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. The Rahu and Uranus influences may stir restlessness (vata!) and the desire for liberation from constraints, which might lead us to seek unusual or radical paths.


Mercury is very strong in its own sign of Gemini and is opposite the full Moon, which can bring some much-needed balance to emotional Moon. It offers a counterweight to the enthusiastic Sagittarian energy by inspiring us to ground our visions in logical thought and articulate them clearly. It may help us to balance our expansive ideas with practical implementation, thereby turning our grand visions into tangible realities.

Stepping into the Invincible: Journey through Purva Ashadha Nakshatra

Full Moon in Purva Ashadha Nakshatra: Which Actions Are Supported?


For those journeying through the planetary periods or sub-periods of Venus or the Moon, the potency of this full Moon energy may be particularly palpable. If you're unsure about your current planetary period/sub-period, you can get this for free on my site here.


Purva Ashadha is supportive of:

  • Confronting important issues in your life

  • Reconciling with friends and family

  • Paying off old debts

  • Starting a new athletic goal or cleansing treatment

  • Exploring spiritual and philosophical perspectives

  • Taking action on long-pending projects or goals (reflecting the invincible and unstoppable energy of Purva Ashadha)


From my book, Vedic Astrology for Beginners: An Introduction to the Origins and Concepts of Jyotish


Purva Ashadha Nakshatra

Deity: Apah/Apas

Symbol: Elephants Tusk/Winnowing Basket

Shakti: The Power of Invigoration


Apah (or Apas) is the god of the cosmic waters. Water has the ability to purify, restore, and invigorate, and that is the shakti of Purva Ashadha. The winnowing basket is also associated with purification and is used to separate hay or bugs from the wheat or to remove the outer shell from the grain. Purification associated with Purva Ashadha can be physical, mental, or spiritual.
