Full Moon in Sagittarius: Releasing Restlessness & Excess (May/June)

Understanding Full Moon in Sagittarius Energy

The full moon in Sagittarius illuminates the shadow side of the archer—restlessness, overcommitment, excess, and the inability to be present. While Sagittarius energy at its best creates adventure and expansion, at its worst it creates scattered energy and escapism through constant movement.

Occurring between May 21 and June 20 (opposite the Gemini sun), this full moon asks: "Where is your restlessness keeping you from depth? Where is your overcommitment draining you? Where is your excess creating chaos? Where are you running FROM instead of running TO?"

This is the time to release restlessness, let go of overcommitment, simplify excess, and find peace in the present moment.

Complete Full Moon in Sagittarius Release Ritual

What You'll Need:

Crystals: Amethyst, sodalite, smoky quartz, turquoise, clear quartz

Candles: Purple candle (wisdom), orange candle (adventure)

Tools: Calendar/planner, journal, something representing excess

Step-by-Step Ritual:

Step 1: The Commitment Audit (15 minutes)

Get honest about your overcommitment.

List EVERYTHING you're committed to:

• Work projects
• Social plans
• Classes or courses
• Volunteer work
• Hobbies and activities
• Travel plans

For each one, ask: "Is this a HELL YES or a no?"

If it's not a hell yes, it's a no. Release it.

Step 2: The Calendar Cleanse (15 minutes)

Sagittarius needs to learn that less is more.

1. Look at your calendar for the next month
2. Identify what you committed to out of FOMO, not genuine desire
3. Cancel or decline at least 3 things
4. Create WHITE SPACE in your calendar
5. Say: "I release overcommitment. I choose quality over quantity."
6. Practice saying: "That sounds great, but I'm not available"

Step 3: The Stillness Practice (20 minutes)

Sagittarius NEEDS to learn to be still.

1. Sit in one place for 20 minutes (this will be HARD)
2. No phone, no book, no distractions
3. Just BE
4. Notice the restlessness that arises
5. Don't run from it—FEEL it
6. Breathe through the discomfort
7. Say: "I am safe in stillness. I don't need to run. I am enough right here."

Step 4: The Excess Inventory (15 minutes)

Identify where excess is draining you.

Journal on:

• Where am I overdoing it? (spending, eating, drinking, working, socializing)
• What would moderation look like?
• What am I trying to fill with excess?
• What would I feel if I stopped the excess?

Choose ONE area of excess to moderate for the next lunar cycle.

Step 5: The "Enough" Declaration (10 minutes)

Sagittarius always wants MORE. Time to practice ENOUGH.

1. Stand and place your hand on your heart
2. Say aloud:

• "I have enough"
• "I am enough"
• "I do enough"
• "This moment is enough"
• "I am enough right here, right now"

3. Repeat until you FEEL it
4. Practice gratitude for what IS instead of longing for what's NEXT

Step 6: The Grounding Ritual (15 minutes)

Bring Sagittarius' fire energy down to earth.

1. Go outside barefoot if possible
2. Stand on the earth
3. Feel your feet connecting to the ground
4. Visualize roots growing from your feet deep into the earth
5. Say: "I am grounded. I am present. I am here."
6. Practice being in ONE place without planning the next

Step 7: The Present Moment Practice (10 minutes)

Sagittarius lives in the future—bring them to NOW.

1. Use your five senses to anchor in the present:

• 5 things you can SEE
• 4 things you can TOUCH
• 3 things you can HEAR
• 2 things you can SMELL
• 1 thing you can TASTE

2. Say: "I am here. I am now. This is enough."

Step 8: Close the Ritual (5 minutes)

Place your hand on your heart and say:

"I release restlessness and embrace presence. I release overcommitment and embrace spaciousness. I release excess and embrace moderation. I release escapism and embrace depth. I am enough. This moment is enough. I am here. And so it is."

• Week 1: Practice 10 minutes of stillness daily
• Week 2: Say no to 3 commitments

Final Thoughts: The Beauty of Enough

The full moon in Sagittarius teaches us that not every opportunity needs to be seized, not every experience needs to be had, and not every moment needs to be filled.

Sometimes the greatest adventure is staying still. Sometimes the deepest wisdom is found in silence. Sometimes enough is enough.

You don't need to do it all. You don't need to see it all. You don't need to be everywhere. You just need to be HERE. Fully. Presently. Deeply.

Release the restlessness. Cancel the excess. Be still. Be present. Be enough.

The greatest journey is the one that brings you home to yourself.
