Full Moon in Sagittarius: A Radiant Beacon Before the Solstice
Full moon in Sagittarius on Wednesday, June 11
As the golden wheel turns toward Litha, the Summer Solstice, we are greeted first by a radiant, expansive Full Moon in Sagittarius—a moon of fire, freedom, and far-reaching vision. Occurring on Wednesday, June 11 at 3:44 AM ET, just ten days before the Sun reaches its zenith, this moon is a cosmic prelude to the longest day of the year. If Litha is a fire blazing at full strength, then this Sagittarius Full Moon is the spark that lights the wick.
🔮 Cosmic Context: Sagittarius Fire Meets Solstice Sun
Sagittarius, the adventurous archer ruled by expansive Jupiter, invites us to stretch toward the horizon. This sign craves meaning, truth, exploration, and possibility. Under a Sagittarian full moon, the veil is lifted on where our spirit longs to roam—physically, intellectually, or spiritually. It's a time to reconnect with our why, to question the story we’re living, and to rekindle joy for life’s grand experiment.
With this moon coming just before Litha, the solar celebration of abundance and manifestation, the timing couldn’t be more potent. This full moon functions as a gateway moon—illuminating what we’re ready to expand, express, and, yes, release before stepping fully into the ripening energy of the solstice. It's the celestial equivalent of a stretch after waking, just before leaping from the bed.
🌕 Sagittarius Full Moon Rituals for Clarity, Courage & Change
Here are three unique full moon practices—each designed to help you align with the high-vibe energy of Sagittarius while preparing your inner altar for Litha’s golden light.
Simplicity Ritual: Let the Fire Burn Away the Clutter
Intention: To call in simplicity, ease, and clarity of direction.
Perfect for: Overthinkers, over-packers, over-doers. Let it go, let it burn.
🌿 Setup:

Tea: Lemon balm, chamomile & lavender (to calm and center).
Crystal: Clear quartz (clarity) + selenite (energetic cleansing).
Candle: A simple white or beeswax candle—pure and unscented.
Food: A fresh bowl of berries and nuts—clean, colorful, and unprocessed.
Location: Outdoors if possible—your backyard, a quiet hill, or your balcony. If indoors, sit near an open window.
✨ Practice:
Brew your tea and sip slowly while gazing at the moon (or visualizing her if hidden).
Place your crystals on either side of your candle. Light the candle and say:
“Tonight I release the need for more, the clutter, the noise. I call in space, grace, and the wisdom to live simply.”On a small piece of paper, write down five things—physical, emotional, or mental—you are ready to release.
Burn the paper safely in a fireproof dish or outdoor fire pit, letting the smoke carry away your burdens.
Sit in silence for 5 minutes, allowing the light of the moon and your breath to fill the new space you’ve created.
Self-care Follow-Up: Take a minimalist bath with Epsom salt and 5 drops of lemon essential oil. No screens, no distractions. Just you, water, and peace.
Rite of Passage Ritual: The Threshold of Becoming
Intention: To honor a life transition—whether you're closing a chapter or opening a new door.
Perfect for: Retirements, job changes, endings, new roles, breakups, breakthroughs.
🌿 Setup:

Tea: Mugwort & peppermint (for clarity and dreamwork).
Crystal: Labradorite (for transitions and spiritual insight).
Candle: Purple or indigo for transformation and inner vision.
Food: A nourishing soup or stew—something grounding and warm.
Outdoor Element: Take this ritual near a flowing body of water (creek, river, even a small fountain).
✨ Practice:
Begin with deep breaths and grounding. Place your hands over your heart and say:
“I honor the path behind me and the unknown ahead. I stand at the threshold—open, ready, and rooted in trust.”Light the candle and sip your tea, inviting in ancestral wisdom, spiritual guides, and your Higher Self.
Write a letter to your future self, one year from now. Describe how you stepped through this transition with courage. Seal it and place it on your altar or in a sacred place.
Release a stone or flower into the moving water as a symbol of surrender. Watch it float away.
Self-care Follow-Up: Wrap yourself in a shawl or cozy robe, journal your dreams that night, and commit to walking barefoot on the earth for the next three mornings.
Freedom & Vision Ritual: The Archer’s Wild Aim
Intention: To shoot your arrow into the future with courage and conviction.
Perfect for: Artists, visionaries, entrepreneurs, rebels, and seekers who feel the itch for expansion.
🌿 Setup:
Tea: Hibiscus, rosehip & cinnamon—bold and warming.
Crystal: Carnelian (creativity) + turquoise (truth-telling and protection).
Candle: Orange or red for vitality and forward motion.
Food: Dark chocolate, chili-spiced fruit, or a small glass of mulled wine (or mocktail).
Outdoor Element: A mountaintop, rooftop, or anywhere with a view.
✨ Practice:
Light your fire-colored candle and say:
“Sagittarius Moon, blaze my trail. Let me see what’s calling and claim it without fear.”Create a vision map (not a board): On a blank page, draw a circle. Inside, write where you are now. Around the outside, write or sketch images of what your spirit longs to experience, create, or become.
Using a marker or colored pencil, draw arrows from the center outward to the dreams. Claim each one out loud as you draw.
Dance beneath the moon if the spirit moves you. Let your body become the archer.
Self-care Follow-Up: Anoint your wrists and third eye with a blend of clove and orange essential oils. Read or write poetry. Say yes to the invitation that scares you most.
🌕 In Closing: A Moon of Movement & Magic
This Sagittarius Full Moon reminds us that freedom is not a destination—it’s a way of walking the path. With Jupiter’s energy blessing this lunation, your intentions will be magnified, your aim sharpened, and your heart called to rise.
So take up your bow, seeker. The sun is rising toward Litha. The light is building.
And the moon? She’s whispering: “Go forth with wild, wise fire.”
