You know that moment when someone says, “Can I be honest with you?” and you instinctively brace yourself? That, my friend, is the Full Moon in Sagittarius. It’s the cosmic equivalent of an unsolicited truth bomb wrapped in philosophical wrapping paper and launched by a centaur with a PhD in blunt force honesty.
The Full Moon is always a moment of revelation. It’s when something previously hidden in the subconscious (Moon) is lit up by the Sun’s spotlight and dragged into the realm of awareness. This time, the Moon is galloping through Sagittarius while the Sun sits across the sky in Gemini. And when these two go head-to-head, we get a full-blown truth vs. trivia showdown.
Sagittarius wants meaning. Gemini wants information. Sagittarius is the guru on the mountaintop. Gemini is the guy in the comments section fact-checking the guru’s accent. And during this lunation, both archetypes are amplified. The result? We may think we’re uncovering deep truths, but what we might really be doing is realizing just how often we mistake opinions for insights and gossip for gospel.
Enter Tiresias, stage left.
If Sagittarius had a mythological press secretary, it might be Tiresias—the blind seer of Thebes, prophet of inconvenient truths, and probably the least invited guest to dinner parties in all of Greek mythology. Tiresias is one of the most potent figures in ancient lore to illustrate the Sagittarius-Gemini polarity because he straddles the threshold between intellect and intuition, masculine and feminine, blindness and vision. He is both the question and the answer.
Tiresias didn’t just stumble into wisdom. He was forced into it. Depending on which myth you follow, Tiresias was either blinded by the gods for telling the truth (always risky) or as a result of witnessing divine secrets not meant for human eyes. In compensation, he was given second sight—a deep, intuitive wisdom that pierced through the veil of ordinary consciousness. You could say Tiresias lost his literal sight but gained his metaphysical Google Glass.
And here’s the kicker: Tiresias also spent seven years as a woman. Talk about commitment to understanding both perspectives. This gender fluidity, seen through a Jungian lens, makes him the embodiment of the syzygy—the inner union of masculine and feminine, the balancing of dualities that psychological wholeness demands. In short, Tiresias is Sagittarius evolved: he didn’t just seek truth; he became it.
So what does this mean for you?
The Full Moon in Sagittarius, especially through the mythic filter of Tiresias, is not about cute mantras or TikTok-ready epiphanies. It’s about the moment you finally admit something to yourself that you can’t un-know. And it may not be comfortable. Truth rarely is. That’s why most of us prefer our truths medium-rare and wrapped in affirmation memes.
But under this lunation, you can expect:
- An urge to break out of narrow thinking or suffocating routines.
- A confrontation with a belief that no longer serves you.
- A wild urge to say what everyone else is afraid to say.
- A lesson about the cost of knowing, versus the comfort of not knowing.
The Shadow Side: When the Truth Weaponizes Itself
Every archetype has its shadow, and Sagittarius is no exception. When poorly integrated, Sagittarius becomes preachy, self-righteous, or painfully tone-deaf. It shoots arrows of “truth” without asking if the target has armor, or even if they asked for your opinion in the first place.
Tiresias reminds us that while truth is sacred, it’s also dangerous. His life is a case study in what happens when you say the thing nobody wants to hear. In Oedipus Rex, he tells Oedipus the uncomfortable truth, and Oedipus responds by lashing out and calling him a fraud. Sound familiar? (Raise your hand if you’ve ever had someone ask for the truth and then get mad when you give it to them.)
From a Psychological Perspective
Jung would see this Full Moon as an invitation to integrate the shadow of your beliefs. The Moon in Sagittarius illuminates the unconscious material around your worldview. What do you believe because it’s true, and what do you believe because it protects you? Tiresias’ blindness is symbolic of what we refuse to see until we’re forced to. And when that seeing happens, there is no going back.
The Sun in Gemini asks questions. The Moon in Sagittarius tries to answer them. But if your answers are recycled Twitter threads or things you heard in a TED Talk five years ago (if I have to read someone talking about Simon Sinek one more time….), this Full Moon might leave you feeling a little hollow. That’s okay. Emptiness is part of the process. It creates space for something real.
Productive Ways to Work With This Moon:
- Name your core beliefs. Not the ones you post on social media. The real ones. The ones you live by, even if they contradict each other.
- Journal your uncensored truth. No one else has to read it, but you do.
- Study something that challenges your worldview. This is a great time to pick up philosophy, mythology, or even quantum physics if you’re feeling spicy.
- Have an honest conversation. Not to win. Not to prove a point. But to understand.
- Consult your inner Tiresias. Sit in silence. Ask a question. Listen for the answer that makes you slightly uncomfortable. That’s the one.
Things to Avoid:
- Speaking as if you have all the answers.
- Using beliefs as a weapon.
- Oversimplifying complex issues.
- Ignoring intuitive nudges in favor of rational explanations.
- Telling someone the truth just to feel powerful.
Ritual Suggestion: Write down a truth you’ve been avoiding. Burn it. Watch the smoke. That’s your old worldview dissolving. Don’t panic. This is what evolution looks like.
Final Thoughts: Let the Truth Change You
This Full Moon isn’t about shouting your truth from the rooftops. It’s about recognizing that truth isn’t a mic-drop moment—it’s a living, evolving process. Just like Tiresias, we are all somewhere between what we were and what we’re becoming. This lunation asks: Are you brave enough to see what you’ve been blind to?
Because once you do, you can’t go back. But you can go forward—wiser, humbler, and maybe a little more whole.
