July 10, 2025 at 16:37 ET - Full Moon in Sidereal Sagittarius Purva Ashadha: GUIDANCE & GRATITUDE
This Full Moon falls in Purva Ashadha, a supportive degree of Sagittarius called “the former victor” or “invincible star.” Philosophical, insightful, cheerful and kind, this sign is ruled by Venus and Jupiter, the “planetary coaches” who guide us toward success and offer genuine support and heartfelt encouragement.
Because it’s in Sagittarius, this “Guru Purnima” — the Guru’s Full Moon — is traditionally dedicated to those who have brought light to our path; the word guru in Sanskrit means “bringing from darkness to light.” This lunar period is a wonderful opportunity to reflect upon lessons from the past and offer gratitude to the influential teachers and teachings in our lives. It’s also a great time to let the Archer’s arrow point the way towards new horizon-expanding adventures.
While it is receiving a solid boost from its planetary rulers, this Full Moon (and the days around it) is “unsupported,” which can bring moments of loneliness or feeling unseen. Taking quiet and alone time can be helpful now, but be mindful of the fine line between healthy retreat and emotional withdrawal. Purva Ashadha energy can also default to people-pleasing, often avoiding conflict in order to keep the peace. This is a good time to gently practice speaking your needs and staying honest in your connections.
Ruled by Apas, the god of water, this Moon encourages us to tend to our internal and external waters; lymphatic movement, baths, swimming, and emotional release are all helpful now. Be aware of what you consume - emotionally, energetically, and physically - as these “waters” can become overwhelmed by misaligned influences. Sensitive types may especially feel the need to cleanse from interactions or experiences that felt “off.”
This Guru Purnima Full Moon reminds us: when we feel alone, one of the most grounding things we can do is remember the steps we’ve taken along our unique journeys, and to give thanks to those who helped light the way.
🙏Who has done this for you?
🙏What teachings have guided you?
🙏Can you make time to honor and reflect?
::PEACE::
