What if change is an invitation? There are seasons in life when something within us begins to shift quietly before we fully understand why. A belief, a perception, a way of seeing ourselves and the world. The Sagittarius full moon arrives as a bridge between who you once needed to be and who you are becoming. This is an invitation to expansion, truth, and the courage to see your life through a new lens. Welcome to the Whispering Soul. My name is Nancy Vellante, and I am an astrologer and certified wellness coach. And today I'd like to talk about the Sagittarius full moon and the moments in life when we realize we are no longer standing where we once were internally. Something has shifted. A truth, a belief, a perception, a way of seeing ourselves and the world around us. Well, this Sagittarius full moon, May 30th, 31st, wherever you are in the world, arrives as a bridge between who you have been and who you are becoming. And this is no ordinary full moon. This is a blue moon. And I usually don't name the new moons and full moons. I think they're beautiful names that people give them. I just don't usually do that. But for this one, I definitely am. The blue moon, a rare energetic threshold that occurs every two or three years when two full moon cycles fall within the same month. That's a lot of reflection, a lot of illumination. Really beautiful. The first full moon was on May 1st in Scorpio, inviting us inward, into the deep waters of the emotional body. Scorpio asked us to release, release suppressed emotions, survival patterns, inherited fears, and ways of thinking shaped through trauma, stress, and self-protection. It illuminated the emotional armor we created in order to survive. And we are possibly still working on that. That takes a long time. It's not just in these cycles. I just want to remind everybody about that. These moon cycles are invitations. And they overlap one another and they weave together with each other. So now we're entering Sagittarius. And that is entering with fire. Movement, expansion, truth, perception. Sagittarius is mutable fire. It's restless, visionary, philosophical, always searching for meaning beyond that limitation. So Scorpio was preparing us, was setting the ground because we can't build on top of toxicity. We can't build on top of suppression, trauma, and we do. We don't always get everything, and that's okay. That's why we have these cycles every month. So whatever happened with you and Scorpio on May 1st, take note of that as preparation to now move into again that restlessness, that visionary feeling, that philosophical knowing that can change. And always searching for meaning beyond the limitation, right? So this full moon is asking, what truth are you ready to outgrow? I'm working on that right now. I'll be working on that all week and probably the weeks ahead. Because sometimes healing is not only emotional, right? Sometimes healing is perceptual. It changes how we think, how we see, how we feel. We do not have to experience exact life exactly as it is, right? We can experience life through perception. It gives us a little bit more expansion and a little less limitation. So that experience that ability to experience life through perception calls forth memory, conditioning, belief, and the belief systems we hold. Through the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what is possible. We all do that. We're all really good storytellers. We truly are. So, and this is why consciousness is really where we want to be: mindfulness. Because Jupiter can expand you into the beauty of your truth, the beauty of your wisdom, the beauty of your vision, but can all but it can also expand you into your limitation, into your overindulgence. Right? That's why we live in duality and we're in Gemini season. So it brings out that duality a little bit more. So Jupiter is a is a is a beautiful, very positive planet, but you just want to be aware where aware of where you're letting it expand you. Because remember, you are in power of where you want to go with your choices and how you want to write your stories and rewrite your stories. Jupiter amplifies the desire to seek wisdom, meaning, and a broader understanding of the human experience. That's the highest level. I love it. This energy is asking us to shift old beliefs, not expand them. Shift them into a new vision, expand that vision. It might not happen tomorrow, it might not happen for two years, but you're integrating it into your being, your nervous system, your thoughts, your mind, body, soul. So these shifting of old beliefs and new visions can allow you to be more creative, can create more possibility, can create more freedom, and a more expansive relationship with yourself and the world around you.

What if change is not punishment? What if change is an invitation?

SPEAKER_01 7:56

You know, the invitation to say, we're just gonna push you a little bit because we think maybe this isn't working. So here's an invitation. What do you think? How do you feel? Don't just, oh, I don't want to change because I don't want to be punished. I don't want my shame to come up. I don't want anybody to see what I've been through. And they don't have to. You can keep it private. You can also get support. You can also put it out there in a way that is shifting into an invitation that embodies integrity, embodies the shame as a gift to heal. What if uncertainty is not here to break you? And I've said that, I often say that. But rather to introduce you to the parts of yourself you have not met yet, or you have just kind of pushed away, like, oh, I don't want to deal with that right now. And we all do that, and that's part of the process. But those parts are part of who you are. That makes you whole, that makes you aligned into feeling joy, happiness, fulfillment. Not because you're you you want validation. Of course, we all want validation, right? But how about validating yourself? And that's hard. I've worked on that for many years. My fear around rejection, not being worthy enough to what I do. And sometimes, you know, I've gone through the imposter kind of uh syndrome. Going through that, and I've learned and still learning, still not comfortable sometimes, that that's what pushes you to grow, not comfort. Comfort is good, but it doesn't allow you to grow. You got to use both. This full moon reminds us that perception shapes reality. You're feeding your mind, body, and soul your reality. So if you keep on saying, I can't do this, this is not possible, that's the reality that your body and your mind and your, not your soul, your nervous system is going to feel. But if we feed it, I can do this. I'm going to practice doing this step by step. And when that perception changes, life begins to reorganize itself around new possibilities. You know, I've experienced that in my life through different experiences, through different career changes. And still, when change is upon me, I go through this over again. It's the spiral of healing. And we go through it and through it, and it maybe it gets a little bit better the more conscious we get, the more understanding and accepting we get. Sagittarius is the seeker, the philosopher, the traveler of both inner and outer worlds. It explores meaning through diversity, through experience, through community, through different cultures, belief systems, rituals, and ways of living. This energy asks us to stay open. And it's hard. It's hard to stay open. You know, we don't want to get hurt, we don't want to feel uncomfortable, we want to feel safe. But you can still stay open in your privacy. Staying flexible, adaptable, willing to grow beyond the familiar. That's key. Willing to grow beyond the familiar. Because growth rarely happens inside fixed perspectives. Yeah, and maybe that is the deeper wisdom of this full moon. I think it is. Because if we're fixed in our perspectives, and Sagittarians or Sagittarius can get fixed in their, this is the way it is. This is my philosophy. I'm going to stand on my soapbox, and this is the way it is. That's a little bit of a lower version. So we want to kind of adapt to maybe that's not the total truth. Maybe the total truth is dancing around different perspectives, perceptions, understandings of other people, the way they live. So life is not asking you to become someone else, it's asking you to expand your understanding of who you already are.

Your soul is your soul. Here's a full moon reflection I've been thinking about.

SPEAKER_01 13:32

Instead of viewing obstacles as dead ends, what if you viewed them as information? What if every challenge carried guidance for your next becoming, your next growth, your next alignment closer to wholeness? And what if self-growth was never about perfection? You know, that south node in Virgo, letting go of the perfection and moving towards that north node in Pisces of that spirituality, of divine oneness, the unity consciousness. Not that you let yourself just go out into the ethers. No, no, no, because Virgo will bring you back into grounding. That's why those two are polarity points, that they they challenge each other for balance, for shifting, for awareness. But what about learning to evolve your self-image? One moment, one lesson, one brave choice at a time. Not all at once. A self-image is something that is a process, it's a growing into. It's an empowerment. Two steps back, three steps forward, you know, it's back and forth. That's how we truly learn. So we stay humble. The Sagittarius full moon invites you to seek truth, not only in the universe, but within yourself. To rediscover what moves your soul, the essence of who you are, the spark of your vitality that you came in with. What inspires wonder? What creates meaning? What connects you to the adventure of being fully alive, fully present right here, right now? It's not easy. But it can be a practice. Because there are still so many possibilities waiting to meet you. I promise. Promise myself that every day. When I'm feeling lost or I'm embarking on something new, and I feel really nervous, but I feel excited. Those are two sides of the coin. Always when I feel nervous and excited, I know that there's something that needs to happen that's going to show me some kind of a truth deep.

So I'm with you 100%.

If you want to do a journal prompt, I'm going to give you something to work with as a takeaway. It doesn't have to be a journal prompt because some people don't like to write, and I get that. But you can use this prompt as a writing, you can use it as drawing a picture, you can use it as creating a dance, a song, a poem, or you can just walk with the question. Walk with the question and let it just seep into your bones. Or you can talk to a friend, a family member, your partner, maybe even your children. I talk to my children sometimes, and then we get into these great conversations. So it's a conversation too. This prompt can prompt you to have a conversation. So here it is. What belief, perception, or story about yourself are you ready to outgrow so you can experience experience life more fully? I'm going to read that again. What belief, perception, or story about yourself are you ready to outgrow? So you can experience life more fully. And I have been started to work with it on Monday a little bit. As I was gardening. So, anyways, sit with that and allow that to manifest or develop in whatever way you want. But that's your takeaway. There's my gift to you. So thank you for listening to the Whispering Soul.
