Aquarius Full Moon
August 1 • 1:31pm CT • 9°15’
August starting off with a dramatic full moon in Aquarius, a very cerebral sign (which is great for coming up with solutions, coming up with new ideas, problem solving, innovating, inventing, etc.), but when combined with a full moon it could bring a lot of overthinking, spending a lot of time up in our heads and less time in our bodies. The objective of Aquarius is to help us evolve (Aquarius is the humanitarian after all!) helping to create a better future that allows for more freedom, authenticity, and social change. Aquarius also understands group consciousness and the power in community very deeply, so think about what’s happening collectively within your community this week.
This full moon has the potential to bring about big change, and if you’ve been ignoring changes that need to take place or resisting the changes that are trying to take place, Aquarius will step in. Sometimes it takes a big shake up or sudden plot twist to realize that what falls away was never really meant for you. Surrender, stop the resistance, and go with the flow. Also know that you can pivot at any time, if things have not been working for you, or you felt stuck or like you’re repeating patterns, it might be time to change directions! You have agency over your own life experience. Liberate yourself from the thoughts and stories, habits and behaviors that keep you stuck, freeing yourself from those restraints and restrictions you place upon yourself.
Do your best to work yourself down from the over-thinking in the brain into the body today. Ground yourself either through getting your feet in some grass, intuitively move your body and dance around your home, connect with other humans in your community, or connect to a cause you care about and decide what you can do to help make a change. This could be a donation of your time, money, or a skill set, or as simple as educating yourself on a cause
Embrace your authenticity and your individuality, allowing the expression of your most authentic self. Sometimes this means really digging deep and determining if you have been operating from a false sense of self or from a place of true authenticity. Are you showing up as what society wants you to be? Or are you showing up as your true self? With so many planets retrograde, we may be feeling a little bit like the Hermit, where it’s a good time for introspection and self reflection. It’s okay to take some time for yourself today 🌝
