The long-awaited Blue Moon in Sagittarius is finally here! Its fiery energy is going to shake life up. May 31st brings the first monthly Blue Moon since August 31st, 2023, and the last one until December 31st, 2028 (a total lunar eclipse). There will be a few seasonal Blue Moons before 2028, but none like this current lunation — it’s a big splash to mark the last days of spring.
This rare lunation is what astronomers and stargazers call a “calendar-month Blue Moon” because it is the second Full Moon in May. The first one occurred on May 1st, known as the Full Flower Moon in Scorpio. Lucky for us, we have a second chance to manifest our desires, let the moon’s illumination bring us clarity, and connect to the universe — or, in this case, shoot from the hip, as well as speak passionately about our worldly aspirations and hopes. Even though it is a micromoon, meaning its apogee is farther from earth than usual, we’ll still feel the effects of the plenilune [a completely full moon]. The moon will still light up the sky and offer us guidance in our personal journeys.
The resourceful and foundational planet Saturn, which is acting passionately in Aries, and transformative Pluto, are motivating us to progress in Aquarius, and gently connect with the Blue Moon. These celestial bodies amplify intuition and offer resilience, confidence, and determination. Visionary Neptune in Aries is in close range, making us feel lofty and idealistic about our beliefs. Basically, it’ll be hard for us to get off our high horses and the need to sway others to our views if they clash with ours. No one will back down from a debate, which can lead to intense arguments that might inflame delicate relationships if we’re not careful, deliberate, or respectful. The warning is not to take matters to the point of no return.
The asteroids Pallas in Aries and Juno in Aquarius add flavor to the Blue Moon. Pallas is the warrior archetype and extra sparky in Aries. Our impulses urge us to act without thinking or knowing the implications. Juno is loyal until betrayed. In the sign of Aquarius, we can experience it as unconventionality and freedom in partnerships. The flip side is that we may detach from the drama to maintain our peace of being. The two asteroids push us to prioritize our autonomy and value our choices. Rather than listen to everyone’s opinions, honing in on our voice and mindset is vital.
Watch out: Mercury is in the last degrees of Gemini. This creates a frenetic, immediate need to speak before we put our musings together. Yes, we may put our foot in our mouths and say inappropriate things that could ruffle many feathers — a sentiment the moon in Sagittarius echoes. It’s important to keep track of our ideas and concepts; jumping from A to B can happen in seconds within a conversation or thought process, making it hard to focus on a single point.
While two beliefs can be true at the same time, we should be aware of our behavior (especially before we generate conflict) to ensure we maintain our composure when the heat rises due to the minor aspect shared with Mercury and Pluto. The following day, Mercury enters Cancer, bringing calm, serene feelings.
The silver lining is that Mercury harmonizes with the centaur Chiron in Aries, helping us mend fences and heal wounds that surface. There is a fine line between being oppressive and kind. If we listen closely, we’ll hear that everyone is on the same side, just speaking over each other. Therefore, we must be cognizant and conscious of how we come across.
Fighting for the sake of being controversial and relevant is going to make things messier. The Blue Moon is a curator of chaos, but we don’t have to let it. We can willfully switch to the vibe by agreeing not to agree, nobly walking away from disputes, building bridges toward resolution, or simply allowing others to express their sentiments and acknowledging them with an open mind and heart.
