Tarot Correspondence: 10 of Wands

This lunation asks you one burning question “Is the vision you’re pursuing still worth it?”

You may feel you have reached a crossroads, struggling with carrying a heavy burden and now it’s a moment to assess, endure, and choose. You may feel the weight of all that accumulated effort over the years, your dreams that are now demanding some sacrifice, or maybe you are questioning the burdens you’ve carried far too long. It could be time to gently and simply set them down.

The truth illuminated under this Full Moon can be hard-won, it may not arrive gently. However, if you are struggling, do remember that ultimately, it wants to set you free, either by renewing your commitment to completing the quest and accepting the sacrifice, or by setting down the burden.

The Moon is lighting up the Sagittarius III decan, where the fire of inspiration has been transmuted into the flame of weighty commitment. This is where optimism must be anchored by responsibility and resilience has been forged in struggle. Think of it as the final stretch of a long climb, the last push and a time to align your mind, body, and spirit to give it all you've got. You may need to lighten your load to dig deep, in order to summit, and that's okay.

Lets explore some of the threads of this Moon and see if we can weave some of them together.

The Fire of Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the mutable fire sign, following initiating Aries and sustaining Leo, it is filled with faith, expansive, adventurous, ever-seeking new quests. It is yang or masculine, hot and dry, and ruled by the Greater Benefic Jupiter.

Sagittarius seeks direction, purpose, and the kind of truth that’s not only discovered in books, but lived out in the world, on the road, in conversation, in experience. Jupiter offers the insights that can be learned through knowledge, bringing things, and people together and creating order. Sagittarius seeks to understand the world through movement, storytelling, belief, and vision.

Mutable fire is not the initiating blaze of Martial Aries or the fixed, enduring flame of Solar Leo. It flickers, leaps, searches, adapts and dynamically responds to its environment. This is the wildfire that leaps from peak to peak, always looking for higher ground.

As a yang or masculine sign, Sagittarius acts outwardly, with a faster willingness to move toward exploration and truth-seeking. Think of the spirit animals of Sagittarius, the Eagle and the wild Horses on the open plains, there is a nature that is never tamed or contained here, forever chasing distant horizons.

A Full Moon in Sagittarius is asking us to seek meaning, to aim higher, and will illuminate our belief systems, as well as any cracks in them. As a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius burns away stagnation, inconsistencies and falsehoods. It needs freedom, growth, and vision to feed the flame but the shadow side may also wrestle with restlessness, fanaticism, and burnout.

The Full Moon: Revelations and Lunar Family

Full Moons are defined by oppositions, we find the Sun and Moon opposing each other in the sky. This time marks the halfway point in the Lunar cycle, illuminating what was hidden from us at the New Moon.

A Full Moon can bring clarity, culmination, revelations, and at times, relational tension, sometimes even emotional catharsis. The truths revealed may ask for integration. They can be a time of heightened awareness and disruption.

The seeds planted during the New Moon, 2 weeks before, or 6 months before, (in this case, the Sagittarius New Moon on 29th November, 2024), come to fruition now.
