The philosopher of the zodiac, Sagittarius is one of the best loved signs but also among the most difficult to get a hold of when you need them. The eternal traveler, they will give you their heart and soul, be more generous than anyone you know - but only while they're around. Their love of change makes them feel fidgety if they spend too much time in one place (and with the same crowd). They move and move often. Still, their idealistic nature and great sense of humor make their personalities so magnetic, they never have any trouble finding new friends, wherever they end up.

What the Full Moon in Sagittarius Will Be About

With the Full Moon crossing through Sagittarius' domain, this sort of good-natured yet eternally changeable, almost fluid nature will take a hold of nearly everyone. A traveler's bug may start biting even those most docile and sedentary of people. Suddenly, everything comfortable and familiar will seem old and dull and an insatiable thirst for adventure will prevail. That is the true nature and energy of Sagittarius, its modus vivendi, the driving force behind their (almost desperate) need for new horizons, new places and new faces. Their world is ever expanding by default.

This has a lot to do with their deeply philosophical nature, their urge to examine each occurrence, situation and person from every angle imaginable, hear every opinion, understand every perspective and observe their topic of interest even through the eyes of those they would normally disagree with. This multidimensional and intersectional approach betrays their tolerant and open-minded character and inner urge to explore different cultures, beliefs and points of view. While they may sometimes lack tact and patience in expressing their thoughts and show overall dislike for clingy and narrow-minded people, there can be no doubt about their good intentions.

Developing A Sense of Purpose and Place in the Sagittarius Full Moon

During the time the Full Moon will be in Sagittarius, you may begin feel the sign's philosophical and accepting energy guiding you through certain situations, almost as if serving as a moral compass. The truth of the matter is, at times we all need to consider our philosophical and moral beliefs. We cannot be perpetually stone-cold sober and practical, not always materialistic, not always of the Earth. Sometimes we ought to examine our higher aims and loftier goals through an objective lens - not so much from a spiritual point of view but from a human one. Where do we fit in the real world and where do our own beliefs and actions stand? This is where our inner Sagittarius is of help, with its worldly wisdom coupled with a deeply philosophical approach.

At the same time, we need to avoid the danger of becoming too abstract, too elusive and too incomprehensible to others. Instead, it is always better to err on the safe side of generosity and kindness - share with others and approach them with warmth and compassion. You can never fail with that. Sagittarius' broad philosophical horizons and worldly wisdom never negate their truly big heart.
