Wai Yu Lam | Astrology + being human

Ready or not, we are here, June of 2025. It’s impossible to slow down time in 2025. It went by so fast and we are already half way through the year. How are you doing?

The summer months are gonna get wacky as the planets are doing their things… shifting signs, Saturn-Neptune conjunction, Jupiter-Saturn/Neptune Square. The world-bus is rolling sharp turns, it is difficult to maneuver.

Jupiter entered Cancer yesterday, and we get a Jupiter ruled Full Moon today in Sagittarius. We will break down the Full Moon but first let’s talk about Jupiter in Cancer.

Jupiter in Cancer is an event many astrologers look forward to because the Greater benefice Jupiter from exile to exaltation. Meaning Jupiter can do more good in the sign of Cancer. Cancer is a water sign representing the home, safety, motherland, childhood memories, and active feelings. Jupiter on the other hand, represents justice, truth and expansion. So when Jupiter in Cancer, it expands our power to protect and care for our our land, our home and the people. Immediately some people may think of nationalism, yes, it’s possible. But Jupiter in Cancer is also everyone has a home here. But Jupiter in Cancer is active. It isn’t going to sit around, it’s active, righteous, it’s rise up and protect.

Jupiter’s first “job” in Cancer is challenge Saturn/Neptune in Aries, it dampens the good feelings. This is the the unfolding of the Jupiter-Saturn cycle. The projects/seeds/plans/partnership you started in December 2020? They need your attention. But unlike the Jupiter-Saturn square last summer— when we felt like there was no good solutions. This time around, both Jupiter and Saturn are in cardinal signs, there are more active energies and Jupiter has a upper hand in Cancer so we can find more solutions that can work well.

If you feel overwhelmed, heartbroken by the world events, sad about your personal life, and don’t feel like you can do much. It might be true. The world is big to fix by yourself. But you can take care of your corner of the world, take care of the day, how about this hour? What can you do right now? I’m sure you can do something. You don’t need to come up with a grand plan, just do what is in front of you and get the momentum. It will get easier because everything adds up.

Full Moon in Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the truth seeker. The Full Moon in Sagittarius frees up the constant chatters, gossip, and info clusters and focuses on what matters the most. The symbol for Sagittarius is the bow and arrow. Although we no longer use them in our daily lives to hunt or protect our tribes, the bow and arrow were designed to take a game that we couldn’t outrun. To take aim, requires concentration, poise, energy, and accuracy. And most importantly, remember not to be defined by your current situation, but by your quest for truth and wisdom and by your vision.

However this isn’t your normal jovial Full Moon in Sagittarius. This full Moon in Sagittarius is activating! Almost every planet is in harsh aspect with one another.

Mercury/Jupiter square Saturn/Neptune
Mars square Uranus
Venus square Pluto

And it’s a full moon so the sun and moon are opposite of each other — and because it’s a full moon, it brings up our big feelings, because they are the peak of a cycle. And the Sagittarius Full Moon is meant for us to release our outdated story behind so that we can bring focus on our bigger picture. But as I said, this full moon has a lot going on.

The breakdown of these aspects:

Mercury/Jupiter square Saturn and Neptune may bring depressive or anxious thinking that we can be dissatisfied with the current reality while we do not what will happen next. We’re questioning our reality, spirituality and the information that is coming in. It can feel like everything is wrong, because Jupiter is also there magnifying the issues.

Meanwhile, the Mars in Leo square Uranus in Taurus triggers our restless, impulsive energy we’re likely to act out, lash out — crashing with things that we do not find acceptable. And as the waning square between Venus and Pluto, it wouldn’t be hard to find relationships and things that are in our way. Venus Pluto. tend to bring up relationship imbalance or disharmonies that was hidden from us before. This full moon is full on showing us the problems we’re facing. The energy offers a chance to right these things, even though the execution might be messy but it feels necessary.

So stay open, we’re still in Gemini Season. Get the buyer’s protection, schedule extra time, drink lots of water so the tension isn’t stuck in the body. And most importantly, don’t just sit there. Sagittarius full moon invites you to explore and find new horizon.
