When
On June 11th (AEST), the Full Moon in Sagittarius also known as the Strawberry Moon, brings a powerful wave of renewal, optimism, and adventurous spirit. Traditionally named for the peak of strawberry harvesting season, this moon symbolizes sweetness, abundance, and gratitude. The moon’s influence encourages you to zoom out, reevaluate your path, and ensure your actions align with your evolving values. While this energy can spark restlessness or the desire to break free from restrictions, it’s best channeled into thoughtful, purposeful action rather than impulsive reactions. Trust your instincts, but take time to ensure your choices support your long-term vision
How to Shape Shift
In fiery Sagittarius energy, ruled by expansive Jupiter, its energy urges boldness, growth, and exploration. This is a moment of personal reinvention, especially for those with strong Sagittarius placements, inviting you to prioritize yourself, redefine your goals, experiment with your identity, and stand up for your needs.
Expansion
- Travel Somewhere New - Whether it’s a solo backpacking trip, a spontaneous road trip, or a dream destination abroad, Sagittarius craves new landscapes, cultures, and perspectives
- Learn Something That Challenges You – Enroll in a course, study a philosophy, or dive into a subject that pushes your intellectual boundaries. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and higher learning.
- Say Yes to Spontaneity – Take more chances. Say yes to unexpected invites, try new foods, meet new people. Sagittarius energy thrives on the thrill of the unknown.
Expression
- Speak Your Truth Loudly – Sagittarius values honesty and authenticity. Be bold in your conversations, stand up for your beliefs, and express yourself fully.
- Pursue a Wild Dream – Dust off a long-forgotten goal or dream and take the first step. Sagittarius energy supports leaps of faith.
- Try on New Personas - Let yourself shapeshift. Experiment with your style, your voice, your passions. Identity isn’t fixed, it’s an adventure. Sagittarius energy gives you permission to evolve, again and again.
Practice
Here’s a ritual to connect with the Sagittarius Full Moon and shapeshifter energy, designed to help you expand your horizons and explore your evolving identity:
Sagittarius Full Moon Ritual: Embrace the Shapeshifter Within
You will need:
- A journal + pen
- A candle (preferably purple, orange, or white)
- Sage, incense, or palo santo (optional for cleansing)
- A symbol of freedom (e.g., feathers, a map, a compass, or a photo of a place you long to visit)
- A mirror
Cleanse & Set the Space
1. Light your incense or sage to clear the energy. As you do, say:
"I clear away what no longer reflects who I am becoming. I make space for truth, growth, and expansion."
Place your candle and symbol of freedom in front of you. Light the candle and take a few deep breaths, calling your energy into the present moment.
2. Face Yourself. Sit in front of the mirror. Look into your own eyes and say aloud:
"I am ready to meet myself where I am. I welcome change. I welcome truth. I welcome expansion."
Feel into any emotions that arise. You don’t need to fix anything & just witness your current self with honesty and compassion.
Journal Prompts
In your journal, write freely for 10–15 minutes using these prompts:
- What parts of myself have I outgrown?
- What version of me is ready to emerge?
- Where am I craving more freedom, truth, or adventure?
- If I could reinvent any part of my identity, what would I change or reclaim?
Let your pen move without judgment. Sagittarius energy is about big-picture clarity, not perfection.
Release & Reclaim
Write down one belief, habit, or identity you’re ready to release on a separate piece of paper. Hold it over the candle (safely!) and burn or tear it while saying:
"I release what no longer defines me. I make space for who I am becoming."
Next, write down a bold intention or affirmation that reflects your expanding self. Example:
"I am free to explore all versions of who I am."
Place this affirmation somewhere you’ll see it daily eg. on your mirror, altar, or phone background.
Close with Gratitude
Hold your freedom symbol in your hands and thank the Full Moon, Sagittarius energy, and your inner shapeshifter for guiding you. Extinguish your candle and say:
"I walk forward with curiosity, courage, and trust in my evolving path."
This ritual invites you to shed old skins, reclaim your truth, and boldly step into the next chapter of who you are. Let the Sagittarius Moon be your compass, pointing you toward deeper freedom, adventure, and authenticity.
