Full Moon in Purvashadha Nakshatra (3 July 2023)

Upcoming Full Moon in Purvashadha Nakshatra (3 July), in the heart of sidereal Sagittarius, will be one of the most auspicious Full Moons in this year. Whenever Full Moon shines in Sagittarius it is also known as Guru Purnima. This year the Moon will be additionally receiving a benevolent aspect from Jupiter. This makes this entire fortnight and incredibly opportune time for cultivating our connection with the Divine through meditation and diving into spiritual teachings. This Full Moon will also help us expand the horizons of our consciousness and look at many things from different perspective.

The only thing that can stop our growth in this period is our mind, clinging to its old emotional patterns and attachments. We can experience those with greater strength at the moment, due to disturbing transit of Venus and Mars through Cancer. But if we choose to let go of our comfort zone for a moment and let go of the need to always “be right” and have things our way, we may learn some profound life lessons during this fortnight.
