🌕 Full Moon 2026
Full Moon in Sagittarius
Lightning strike — Uranus electrifies the archer's quest, and the truth arrives without warning or apology.
What This Full Moon Brings
If the Scorpio Full Moon earlier this month was the deep excavation, the Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 31 at 09°55' is the lightning bolt that follows — sudden, illuminating, and impossible to ignore. Sagittarius is the zodiac's restless truth-seeker, the sign that would rather be uncomfortable and honest than comfortable and deluded. When the Moon is full here, something in your life that was hidden or misunderstood is suddenly, blindingly clear.
But this is no ordinary Sagittarian lunation. Uranus — the planet of revolution, disruption, and genius — conjuncts this Full Moon, turning an already adventurous energy into something genuinely unpredictable. Plans shatter. Revelations arrive from nowhere. Travel takes unexpected detours. A belief you held with absolute certainty may dissolve in a single conversation. The proximity to fixed star Antares — the heart of the Scorpion, one of the sky's most powerful royal stars — adds a mythic quality. Antares is associated with obsession, intensity, and the courage to face what others won't. This isn't a gentle breeze of insight. It's a thunderclap.
The Gemini Sun opposes from the axis of information and local reality, creating tension between what you know (Gemini's data) and what you believe (Sagittarius' faith). This Full Moon may force you to choose between a comfortable narrative and an inconvenient truth. Sagittarius always chooses truth — and under Uranus' influence, you won't have time to deliberate. The realization hits, and then you deal with it. Buckle up. Freedom tastes like chaos before it tastes like liberation.
Astrological Analysis
This full Moon is powerful! Right on the Royal Star Antares- not the easiest of stars but indicates military success, winning over
enemies, leadership. For some of us this will mean overcoming some long standing enemy (external or internal) or confrontation
through strategy (the heart of the Scorpion- Antares), succeeding and seeing results of our previous efforts.
This full Moon is also conjunct Uranus and trine Saturn- some sudden developments can bring to focus new possibilities or
alternatives, which if applied, will lead to lasting results. Good period to complete big projects etc.
On the collective level the energy is more edgy, rebellious and militant, people can explode easier or more aggressive actions can be
in the news, but Saturn's stabilizing influence, promises that sensibility, reason and calmer/ delayed response, or previous
experience, if applied can lead to good conclusions.
So follow the drive, vision and faith of Sagittarius, but tame it with practicality and measured actions for best results!
Active Retrogrades During This Full Moon
How It Affects Your Sign
Select your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign for a personalized reading.
Aries
Your 9th house of travel, higher education, and beliefs is electrified. A sudden trip, an unexpected acceptance letter, or a philosophical epiphany could upend your plans in the best possible way. Uranus here means the adventure you need isn't the one you planned — it's the one that finds you. Say yes to what surprises you. Your fire sign instincts are perfectly calibrated for this kind of spontaneous leap.
Taurus
The 8th house of shared finances, intimacy, and hidden truths is activated — and with Uranus conjunct, expect shocks. A financial arrangement could change overnight. An intimate truth could surface without warning. Insurance, inheritance, or tax matters may deliver unexpected news. Your instinct is to resist sudden change, but this Moon rewards those who let the lightning rearrange the landscape.
Gemini
The Full Moon directly opposes your sign from your 7th house of partnerships. A partner — romantic, business, or creative — does or says something genuinely unexpected. Uranus conjunct the Moon means this partnership development cannot be predicted or controlled. The question is whether you can embrace a version of togetherness that doesn't fit your mental blueprint. Flexibility is your freedom here.
Cancer
Your 6th house of health, routines, and daily work is activated. A sudden shift in your work situation — a new role, a sudden departure, or an unexpected health revelation — demands immediate adaptation. Uranus doesn't give you time to process emotionally before acting. Trust your body's signals. A dietary change, a new exercise discovery, or a workplace shake-up turns out to be exactly what you needed.
Leo
The 5th house of creativity, romance, and joy is struck by Uranian lightning. A creative breakthrough arrives in a flash — the idea you couldn't force suddenly downloads complete. A romantic connection could begin (or transform) with startling speed. If you have children, they may surprise you in ways that challenge your expectations. Let spontaneity be the script tonight.
Virgo
Your 4th house of home and roots is activated. Unexpected domestic developments — a sudden move, a family revelation, a property surprise — shake your foundations. Uranus in this house says the stability you've built needs an upgrade, not a repair. A truth about your family of origin or your living situation arrives without preamble. The disruption is the doorway to a home that actually fits who you're becoming.
Libra
The 3rd house of communication and local environment is electrified. A conversation, a piece of news, or a message from an unexpected source changes your perspective overnight. Uranus here favors bold communication — saying the thing no one expected you to say. Your neighborhood or immediate surroundings may also shift unexpectedly. Information is your currency right now; spend it wisely but fearlessly.
Scorpio
Your 2nd house of money and self-worth is activated by this wildly unpredictable Moon. Income could arrive from an unexpected source, or a financial plan could be disrupted without warning. The deeper Uranian message is about liberation from old value systems — what you've been told you're worth versus what you know. A sudden insight about your relationship with money could restructure your entire financial approach.
Sagittarius
This is YOUR Full Moon, and Uranus is sitting right on top of it. This is one of the most personally transformative lunations you'll experience in years. Expect the unexpected — and expect it to change you. An identity shift, a sudden clarity about your life direction, or a revelation that makes your current path impossible to continue. You are being liberated from a version of yourself that has become a cage. Trust the freefall.
Capricorn
Your 12th house of the subconscious and hidden patterns is activated. Uranus here can trigger sudden psychological breakthroughs — the kind that happen in a single therapy session or a 3am epiphany. Buried material surfaces without the usual gradual process. A dream, a flashback, or an unexpected encounter unlocks something you've been processing unconsciously for years. The liberation happens inside first.
Aquarius
The 11th house of community, friendship, and collective vision is electrified — and as Uranus' home sign, you're wired for this energy. A friendship undergoes sudden transformation. A group you belong to could split, merge, or radically change direction. Technology plays a role: an online connection, a viral moment, or a digital tool that changes how you engage with your community. Embrace the disruption — you were born for it.
Pisces
Your 10th house of career and public reputation is activated. A sudden professional development — an offer, a departure, a public recognition, or an unexpected turn in your career narrative — arrives without preamble. Uranus says the career path you planned may not be the one you're meant for. A detour that looks like chaos is actually a shortcut to where your soul has been trying to lead you all along.
Release Rituals
Full Moons illuminate what needs to be released. Try these practices to let go.
Freedom Flash Writing
Set a timer for 10 minutes. Write without stopping about what freedom means to you right now — not philosophically, but practically. What would your life look like if you actually lived as freely as you wish? Uranus conjunct this Moon rewards those who can articulate their liberation before they achieve it.
Spontaneity Pact
Make a commitment to do one completely unplanned thing within 48 hours of this Full Moon. Go somewhere you've never been. Talk to a stranger. Take a different route. Order something unfamiliar. Sagittarius and Uranus together create magic through the willingness to leave the script behind.
Truth Arrow Meditation
Sit quietly with a candle. Imagine you are the Archer — Sagittarius' symbol. Visualize pulling back a bow and loading it with a single truth you've been afraid to aim. Where does the arrow need to go? Who needs to hear it? What belief needs to be pierced? Release the arrow in your mind's eye and notice where it lands.
Antares Star Gazing
If skies are clear, find the constellation Scorpius and locate Antares — the bright red star at its heart. This Full Moon occurs near this powerful fixed star. Simply spending a few minutes contemplating Antares connects you to a lineage of stargazers who have used this star for navigation for millennia. Let it remind you that your truth, like Antares, is a fixed point in a spinning sky.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Uranus conjunct the Full Moon mean?
Uranus conjunct the Full Moon is one of the most electrifying aspects in astrology. Uranus is the planet of sudden change, liberation, and revolution. When it merges with a Full Moon, expect the unexpected — breakthroughs, breakdowns, and revelations that arrive without warning. This is not the lunation for rigid plans. It rewards adaptability, courage, and the willingness to be surprised by your own life.
What is the significance of the fixed star Antares?
Antares is one of the four Royal Stars of ancient Persia — a first-magnitude red giant in the heart of Scorpius. It carries themes of obsession, intensity, courage, and the willingness to face what others fear. Its proximity to this Full Moon amplifies the lunation's already intense truth-seeking quality and adds a mythic dimension. Decisions made under Antares' influence tend to feel fated.
Is this a good Full Moon for travel?
Sagittarius is the zodiac's traveler, and this Full Moon strongly favors movement and adventure. However, Uranus conjunct means travel plans are unlikely to go exactly as expected — delays, reroutes, and spontaneous detours are almost guaranteed. The best approach is to plan loosely and embrace whatever happens. The most meaningful experience may be the one you didn't schedule.
How do the two May Full Moons relate to each other?
Having two Full Moons in one month is unusual, and the progression from Scorpio (May 1) to Sagittarius (May 31) tells a story: first the deep emotional purge, then the liberating truth. Scorpio excavates what's buried; Sagittarius launches you forward with that knowledge. Together, they create one of the most transformative months of 2026 — a before-and-after that you'll reference for years.
What should I do if something shocking happens around this Full Moon?
Uranus conjunctions are famous for sudden, unexpected developments. If something shocking occurs around May 31, the most important thing is to avoid reacting impulsively in the first 48 hours. Observe. Breathe. Let the information settle. Uranian events often look chaotic in the moment but reveal themselves as necessary course corrections with a bit of distance. The shock is not the story — what you do with it is.
