Sagittarius Full Moon and The Caregiver Archetype
The Sacred Caregiver: Learning To Love Without Losing Yourself
Dear Heart,
Today we walk with the fourth archetype in our Jungian - shamanic journey: The Caregiver and take a look at Sagittarius Full Moon
What’s Brewing Under June’s Sagittarius Full Moon? 🔥✨
June’s Sagittarius Full Moon on the 11th is stirring up something powerful - a vibe that’s both restless and ripe with possibility. It’s calling us to ask: How am I really doing?
There’s an energy of bold new beginnings mixed with an invitation to slow down and listen deeply to what’s shifting inside you. Courage and curiosity are your guides right now, but so is gentle self-care.
This is a moment to reflect on what you’re ready to release, what you want to grow, and how to hold space for the new you’re stepping into.
Curious to know more? Tune into this month’s podcast episode where I unpack the full moon’s potent magic, the challenges and gifts it brings, and how you can navigate this time with clarity and grace.
You won’t want to miss this — your glow-up is calling.

✧ Where Centaur Meets The Caregiver
While Sagittarius is often associated with the seeker, the wanderer, and the philosopher, at its core lies a deeper devotion: a longing to uplift and serve a higher truth. This is where the Caregiver archetype meets Sagittarius - not in domestic service, but in soul service.
In mythological terms, Sagittarius can be linked to Chiron, the wounded healer - a centaur who, despite his own incurable wound, dedicated his life to healing others. This speaks directly to the essence of the Caregiver: one who turns their pain into medicine and holds space for the transformation of others.
The Sagittarian spirit of expansion and exploration can also express itself as caretaking on the spiritual plane - guiding others through wisdom, holding ethical fire, and protecting the journey of the soul. The Caregiver, when expressed through the Sagittarian lens, becomes a guardian of truth, a torchbearer, someone who nurtures not through containment, but through helping others grow into their fullest, freest expression.
Both archetypes, when aligned, are here to serve the greater good, protect the vulnerable, and offer nourishment - whether through knowledge, love or healing. In life, and indeed on the so called spiritual or haling path, we’re taught to endlessly give, to hold, to serve, to love… However, we are rarely shown how to do it without emptying ourselves in the process.
🌿 Archetype 4: The Caregiver

Themes: Compassion, Service, Devotion
Soul Invitation: To nurture life without losing yourself
🧠 The Jungian View:
The Caregiver, sometimes called the Nurturer or the Altruist, emerges when we long to support others through love, healing and presence.
This archetype may show up in you as:
The mother who gives her all
The healer who forgets her own pain
The one who always says “I’m fine” while holding others up
The Caregiver archetype is the embodiment of unconditional love, but when wounded, it becomes a martyr – attempting to give from lack, not overflow, even helping in the pursuit of being loved, or carrying others to avoid feeling.
🌬️ From the Shamanic Standpoint:
This archetype is rooted in unconditional love, giving from a deep inner well without attachment or expectation. However, true caregiving does not mean self-sacrifice. The Caregiver replenishes not through others, but through direct relationship with the sacred - through time with the Earth, silence, ritual, breath and beauty. These are the ways we refill the cup, so it may overflow again.
The Caregiver teaches that to offer love sustainably, we must stay in balance - receiving from spirit, nature and our own inner stillness, rather than waiting, or expecting, for it to come from outside.
We Can meet this archetype in:
Bobinsana, the heart healer and river dreamer
Rosa Sisa, balancing the light and dark within, the protector of children and ancestral connection
Cacao, the unconditional mother who softens and alchemises pain into love
☀️ In Light
Deep empathy and patience
Healing presence
Devotion to community
Ability to hold space with grace
In Shadow:
Martyrdom and burnout
Over-giving or fixing
Saying yes out of guilt
Difficulty receiving support
The true healer does not rescue. She witnesses.
She does not control. She trusts the soul’s path. She does not need to bleed to be good.
🌼 Reflection Questions
Do I give from overflow, or from emptiness?
What part of me feels more lovable when I’m helping others?
When was the last time I allowed myself to be held?
Do I trust others to carry their own healing, or do I need to save them?
What does sacred receiving look like for me right now?
🐚 Need to be Held? Healing, Soul Retrieval and Extractions
If you’ve been caring for everyone else and your soul is calling for spiritual replenishment it may be time for a Shamanic treatment.
In shamanic healing terms, extractions and soul retrievals work hand in hand to clear and restore your energetic and spiritual balance.
An extraction is the removal of negative energies, stuck emotions, or spiritual debris that block your vitality and clarity. Soul retrieval gently brings back the lost or fragmented parts of your spirit, helping you feel whole again.
After these powerful processes, an integration session supports your mind, body and soul to anchor the healing deeply, making the shifts sustainable. I offer these transformative sessions - one, two or the full trio - online, so you can access profound healing and clarity wherever you are. Together, they can help clear what no longer serves you, restore your inner light, and support you in walking your awakening path with strength and grace.
With me, your journeys are:
Gently guided, spirit-led, and trauma-aware
Supported by 25+ years of jungle mestizo and mountain Q’ero traditions
Held with love - not fixing, not pushing, just truth and Spirit
A return to wholeness
To care for others, you must first breathe deeply into yourself - put on your own oxygen mask before lifting those around you. Don’t fall into the trap of martyrdom or victimhood by leaving yourself until last; this serves no one. True service flows from a full heart and clear spirit, not from depletion or sacrifice.
But remember, self-care is not about feeding the ego’s demands - it’s about honouring your soul’s needs so you can give with authenticity and presence. In this sacred balance, your giving becomes a powerful, healing force for all.

🌸 Cacao, Bobinsana and Blue Lotus Ceremony | 28 June | 5.30–8.30 pm | NW London
Heart Awakening at the Turning Point
One week past the Summer Solstice - as the sun’s brilliance begins to wane and the seasons shift - we come together in sacred ceremony to honour the delicate balance of light and shadow, doing and being, masculine and feminine.
This moment calls especially to the Caregiver within us all - the part that gives endlessly, often leaving little space to receive. Here, in this ceremony, you are invited to turn that flow inward: to nurture yourself with the same tender care you offer others.
Supported by the gentle yet powerful plant allies Cacao, Bobinsana and Blue Lotus, we open our hearts and awaken our first eye - that inner vision that guides us toward deeper wisdom and balance.
This is a sacred space to soften, listen, and receive with grace - restoring your well so you can continue to give from fullness, not depletion. Together, we hold a shamanic container to reconnect with your spirit, the Earth, and the sacred dance of balance within the caregiver’s heart.
Secure your place now — early bird tickets available below.

As the arrow of Sagittarius takes flight, let Rumi’s gentle wisdom guide you:
"Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray." - Rumi
This is a time to expand your heart beyond boundaries, to seek the vast horizons of your soul, and to hold the delicate dance between giving and receiving with grace. The Caregiver’s path is sacred - a journey of both nurturing others and replenishing yourself.
You are not here to carry it all alone. Let yourself be cared for. Let your soul be fed. This is the Caregiver’s medicine.
With love and gratitude, Nancy
