In my 20-year career of helping clients make their most significant investment decisions, I have found that when life is uncertain, people tend to seek more data and resolve unnecessary logistical issues.
It’s part of how we seek safety and security when everything is untethered.
But sometimes, it’s best to let go of the need for so much data, embrace the bigger picture, and view the unknowns as little ventures.
That’s the message of the Full Moon in Sagittarius (May 31, 4:45 AM ET, 9º05’).
This full moon is a “blue moon,” which means it’s the second full moon in the same calendar month. This is a situation that doesn’t occur often, hence the expression “once in a blue moon.”
It pits the Sun in Gemini against the Moon in Sagittarius.
Gemini wants the data and the details. It wants to talk about and talk through all the ideas. Sagittarius wants the big picture, the philosophy, the truth. It seeks freedom and adventure; it doesn’t want to get mired in the land of logistics.
As they form an opposition for the full moon, it spotlights the gap between what you know (Gemini) and what you believe it means (Sagittarius), or the details and the big picture.
I have all this information and I don’t know what it’s telling me.
This full moon also brings some extra confusion, as the Sun is co-present in Gemini with Uranus. Uranus brings unexpected surprises and disruptions, which might activate that part of you that seeks certainty in facts and figures.
In my experience, rarely does it help to have more data; what we need in moments of transition is greater access to our intuition and greater trust in the messages we’re receiving.
Notice where you’ve been mistaking “more data” for “more clarity” — and whether that is actually serving you. Sagittarius seeks the truth, and that’s very different from crunching numbers.
The truth you’re seeking isn’t found in more details or logistics; it’s found the in the insights you gain from your experience.
