Sagittarius Full Moon // Blue Moon May 2026

The Sagittarius Blue Moon is upon us, calling us to use the power of our voice, confront our fears and align with our highest Truth’s to take profound leaps of faith

The energy of Sagittarius is hungrily curious, seeking the most beautiful and darkest Truths we must align with and confront in order to walk on our destiny’s path, and the  illuminating light of The Full Moon helps reveal these Truths to us. This Full Moon is an opportune time to get curious about ourselves and ask ourselves the big questions about who we want to be.

This energy is enriched by our placement in the Lunar Year and the Sun’s opposing placement too. Blue is the colour associated with communication and the throat chakra, and with Sun in Gemini, ruler of communication, our ability to speak with the universe, receive her signs clearly and express our own Truths is at an all time high. You might say it happens once in a blue moon…

It’s time for a rupture, an explosion - a big movement needs to take place. Sagittarius is a fire sign sparkling with passion and drive - a truly awake inner flame. When we listen to our inner flame, we understand our purpose, and when we enkindle our inner flame we are motivated and powerful agents of change. We are being called, this Full Moon, to not only seek wisdom but then transform that into take energy and motion we can use to align with our passion and purpose as well as to burn away any fears and limitations that may be holding us back. 

We are being called to take a big leap of faith, breaking free what that which bounds us to spread the light and warmth of our flame freely.  The Taurus New Moon offered us a portal, direction and asked us to begin building toward our desires, now this full Moon asks us to begin sharing all we have grown toward - to take those once in a blue moon chances the universe is showing you and let yourself blossom vibrant and open for the world to admire.

Now is a time to honestly reflect and embody your Truth fearlessly.

The Ritual

Gather: two or more candles // salt // pen and paper // incense or smudging herbs // crystal (optional) 

Prepare your altar with a circle of salt for protection and two candles and crystal (if you have one) in the middle. You can put more candles in a circle outside and light those ones right away.

With your incense or herbs, give the altar and yourself a smoke cleanse

Try a Breath of Fire to ignite your inner flame. 

Next breathe slowly and steadily. Try to bring your consciousness to the centre of your head - between your eyebrows and your temples beneath the centre of your crown. 

Light your two candles

Write down big goals you want to achieve - your most honest desires and wildest dreams. Be as “unrealistic” as you dare, write what you would do if absolutely nothing stood in your way.

Look at this list and consider what it says about where your passion and purpose lie. Write down what you feel are your callings - your missions to complete on Earth, why you want to achieve these goals and dreams.

On a new piece of paper,write what you perceive as stopping you from achieving the big goals and missions you’ve written down.

In one candle, safely burn the paper noting these limitations and say “this is not a part of my experience.”

Now look back to your goals and missions. Write these down again as if you already have them: I am so happy and grateful now that I am / I have ….

Close your eyes. Return to that space in the centre of the head. Try to keep your focus here as you open your eyes and do the next step.

Say these affirmations in your head as you stare at the flame, trying to keep your focus in the centre of your head, as if you are speaking from there. We are imprinting these words in your subconscious.

With your eyes still on the flame, reflect on what actions these affirmations ask of you in order to be manifested. You may want to write these down after.

Place your goals and affirmation papers under your crystal if you have one.

Move your body. Show the universe you are open to expressing authentically and ready and driven to bring these affirmations outside of your head and off the page into the world. Choose movements that engage your core, where your fire energy lives, and that express the journey this Full Moon is having you embark on.

Now write down one promise to yourself to fulfil before the next Full Moon. Choose the one that feels the grandest. Your intuition knows. Don’t let fear stop you. Show the universe you meant it when you burned all those limitations away, show the universe you mean it when you affirm this in your life.

Blow out your candles with a whisper of gratitude.
