Full Moons come around once a month and, for the day before, during, and after, bring a ‘pause’ moment. They provoke reflection, rumination, bringing things to a conclusion, finishing off tasks, reviewing results, and thinking through how your life is going. It’s a time for thought vs action.
This Full Moon on May 23 occurs in the sun sign of Gemini, which means the moon is in its opposite sign, Sagittarius.
Sagittarius’s influence puts the Jupiter-led powers of abundance, good fortune, travel and exploration very much in the air all around… you might find yourself drawn to the idea of going on an adventure. And why not? Life is for living.
Heading out there with a purpose that can lead you towards new horizons and territories is exciting and liberating. Let the tarot guide you towards your next adventure this Full Moon!
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: The Empress
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of love, passion, romance, and a happy sanctuary for you and your loved ones! Maybe it’s a dream holiday, a home improvement, a change of location, a new mood or routine or dynamic in the home.
The Empress shows you believe that your greatest potential for adventure and happiness lies in making more of where you already are… and you’re right. Adventure isn’t always ‘out there’, it can be right where you live. Make home a fun, happy, loving place.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: Page of Swords
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest to say ‘yes’ to whatever comes along this Full Moon! That feels a little scary (and obviously, you should use your judgment here shrewdly) but it will be good for you.
Throw caution to the wind (ish). The Page of Swords is all in, ready to commit, eager to have a go, keen to show he can live in the moment and grab a spontaneous opportunity and run with it. Who knows where this will take you, Taurus.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: Two of Coins
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of abundance and the land of the plenty! Others are making money. Where’s yours? Where is the money at? It must be here because people are still getting rich.
You are on the hunt for the ways and means you can maximise your revenue, boost your income, get to the good part, and create the kind of wealth and security you crave. It’s possible, it’s happening. Go get some, Gemmy!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: Five of Coins
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of the support you know you need about something you feel bad or defensive about. It might be linked to health, wealth, work, or home… but you’ve worried long enough by yourself about it.
Get people in! Ask for advice, team up with a buddy, install a mentor, join a programme, get input and support. You are not meant to do this all alone (which is why it feels like a ‘dread’). Stop isolating and start asking for the help you deserve. This quest is better with collaborators.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: The Fool
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of an amazing fresh start, a new beginning, a twist in the tale that no one saw coming! This is a passion pursuit, a left-field turn, a new chapter that is all about you and your true desires.
Be spontaneous, be radical, be unpredictable. Keep them guessing. Don’t worry about the long-term, just figure out your first step and take this show from there! Game on.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: Death
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of your new self or identity this Full Moon! Wow, sounds deep. Well, it is. There has been a long story now of you evolving, shedding old roles or relationships, reevaluating your future plans, recalibrating your outlook.
A lot of this is going to come together this week and you’ll experience an epiphany about it. This will be illuminating and liberating and will likely lead you towards ending something else. All for the good. Onwards, Virgo.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: The Devil
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of your healthiest, happiest self. I’m talking quitting the bad habits, starting yoga, getting great sleep, age-appropriate skincare, cooking from scratch, whole foods, hydration, socialising, exercising… the whole nine yards.
Right now, this appeals to you, this sounds like fun, this makes you feel energised and eager to get started and see what you can ‘turn into’ with a good effort. Living well feels good. Be happy and healthy.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: Ten of Coins
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of your next high end purchase, your dream ticket, your long-term most desired item. It might require investment or savings, it might require an extra income stream or a sacrifice, maybe a swap or some buying and selling.
It won’t happen overnight but that dream car/house/handbag/holiday/cosmetic procedure (whatever the heck it is) can be yours if you put your mind to it and make it a mission!

Tarot card for Capricorn for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: King of Cups
Meaning: You are going to embark on a quest in search of your wellbeing and mental self care. Yep. Well, at least this is something sustainable and useful, in this pressured world, and will help you feel good every day rather than just a one-off reward, right?
Emotional intelligence (EI) is the key to this, and the King of Cups is here to help. Research and read what you can find about EI and try to bring it into your everyday life consciously. Set homework. Reflect. Practice practicing it… until it becomes natural. Self awareness is the first step.

Aquarius

Tarot card for Aquarius for the Full Moon in Sagittarius: The Hermit

Set your theme. Pick a passion. Choose a talent you want to possess. Be inspired. Be ready to work hard. Be prepared for challenges. This could be a life-changing decision. What you put into your brain today decides what you think tomorrow…
