Sunday the 22nd of August, we have a Full Moon rising in the sign of Aquarius. This will be the second Aquarius Full Moon of the year with the previous one being in July. The Aquarian Full Moon is also a seasonal Blue Moon. It is rare to have two Full Moons back to back in the same zodiac sign and indicates strong transformative Aquarian energy on offer & that the two Moons are linked.
What was focused on around the first one in July is again focused on with this second one in August. It may be that something started in July and finishes in August, or we get an idea of things in July and see culminations in August. This can be a bit time for culminations and results, and this may focus on change, the future, our dreams, or the masses.
Aquarius is represented by the water bearer, which has the ability to take the emotions (water) of the world, transmute them using the power of air, and return them to the earth cleansed and renewed. Whenever we have strong Aquarian energy, we receive added support to shift and clear dense energies.
During the Aquarian Full Moon, there is the potential to amplify change, activate our desire for greater freedom, or shine a spotlight on all that needs to be revolutionized in our lives.
Aquarius energy is all about doing things differently and stepping away from our comfort zone in order to experiment with something new. It encourages innovation, growth, and looking at things from a new perspective.
The Aquarian Full Moon is extra strong because it occurs at 29 degrees. 29 degrees is the last degree of a Zodiac sign and is called the anaretic degree. In transit, it’s a point of crisis energy. So, the culminations and results we may see can have a major impact on us, and we have to make sure we’re reacting appropriately, not lashing out or rushing. This is hot energy, and we have to be smart!
With the Sun also winding up its journey through Leo at the time of this Full Moon, there is an added boost of creative and courageous energy on offer to us, which can be used to help any new visions take flight.
While Full Moons typically represent completion points, know that there are creative energies on offer to help take any endings and shift them into new potentials.
Aquarius also rules over technological advancements and policies that are put in place to protect the whole, rather than just the individual.
While focusing on the community and the whole is great, when it swings too far out of balance, Aquarian energy can sometimes be too quick to bypass the emotional, compassionate side of humanity and instead, can look at things from a more technical and machine-like viewpoint.
We may see more of these themes come to light, especially on a global level, under the second wave of this Aquarius Full Moon.
Know that with Aquarius energy, it is all about seeing things from a new perspective, keeping an open mind, and finding ways to stay out of black and white thinking.
Jupiter, which is currently retrograde in the sign of Aquarius is also conjunct this Full Moon, making its energy very active.
Jupiter expands what it touches, so it’s likely that whatever is manifesting for us under this Full Moon will be loud, bold, and clear for all to see. Jupiter tries to make things better, since Jupiter doesn’t like anything serious or intense or negative. But Jupiter can expand on anything, including the bad. Jupiter just makes it easier to make it better if you put in the effort.
Saturn, the traditional ruler of Uranus, aligns harmoniously with planet Venus. Venus trine Uranus is wonderful for dealing with long-term investments and commitments. It is also an excellent opportunity to work through any relationships or financial problems there might be in your life. Any artistic or creative work can result in heightened productivity.
There is no guesswork with this August Full Moon, it will deliver what it needs to deliver and will take what it needs to take.
Trust your instincts and try not to second guess yourself. The energies of this Full Moon are strong and courageous, so connect with that place and push ahead in whatever direction feels right to you.
On a deeper level, this Full Moon is guiding us to connect to the energies of our past in order to use them as fuel for our future.
We may have had to let go of so much over the last year. We may find ourselves standing in an empty field, wondering where our “old life” has disappeared to.
There is a beautiful frequency flowing in with this Full Moon that reminds us that no matter where we stand today, the power and love that we have cultivated in the past still exists.
While we may be looking at a totally different life, the energy of our past achievements still remain, and we can use that power, that love, and that strength of our past and apply it to this new chapter that is waiting for us.
All is not lost. There is wisdom in the air. There is an energy dancing in the breeze of all who have traveled on this land before us and all who will travel on this land after us.
We can connect with that energy; we can connect with that breeze and feel into the strength and wisdom that it offers.
So many things have transpired on this Earth. Good things, bad things, tragic things, heroic things; so many lives and stories have graced the surface of this planet, and all that energy, all of that fuel, is carried in the wind.
Under the Aquarian Full Moon, we can connect to the energy that reminds us of our strength, our power, and our courage. We can connect to the energy that created the rivers and the mountains and some of the greatest ancient civilizations.
We can connect to our ancestors, their voices, and their wisdom. We can connect to the life force that lives all around us and will continue to live on till the end of time.
There are strong cosmic currents linked to this Full Moon. It is a time of expansion, clarity, and honoring the changes within us. It is a time for making clear-cut decisions and for trusting our instincts.
It is also a time to remember that all your past achievements and successes exist as energy. They surround you and support you and are there to be used by you under the light of the Full Moon.
Tune in with that energy and recreate it in a new and better way. Tune in with that energy under the Aquarian Full Moon and use it to surrender to the new.
Love & Blessings ♥♥♥
