My lovely friends in and out of lockdown, as we move towards the first of this year’s two Full Moons in Aquarius, I’ve been feeling inspired to reconnect 🕸💜🤎🧡🖤💗🕸 It’s been a tough year for many of us and personally I’ve had little bandwidth for social media so it’s interesting to feel the urge again given that Aquarius rules social media as well as friendships, networks, our hopes and dreams, and what we’re building for the future.
This Full Moon (Saturday 24th July @ 12:36pm AEST) happens at 1 degree of Aquarius and re-activates the history-changing Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, which took place on the December Solstice 2020. It offers a potent opportunity to reinvigorate and reorganise our intentions towards what we’re aspiring to achieve in the next 20 years.
Full Moons are Sun-Moon oppositions, which bring contrasting themes into dialogue for potential synthesis and readjustment. With the Sun in Leo and Moon in Aquarius we’re being attuned to the dynamic relationship between self and society. We’re being asked to focus our hearts towards our own creative self-expressed authenticity, which is how we’re meant to show up and make a difference in the world.
The second Aquarius Full Moon takes place on Sunday 22 August, two days after Uranus joins the other outer planets in retrograde motion, and it will be at 29 degrees of Aquarius - the anaretic or last and most potent degree of a sign. It’s also conjunct Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, who’s retrograding back through this area of our charts. All up these two Full Moons in Aquarius, which bookend Leo season, make it a symbolically potent one for creative and heart-oriented second chances.
This is extremely late notice (the modern ruler of Aquarius, Uranus, governs unexpected events!) but if you’d like to connect with the energy and opportunities of this lunation, tune in with community, set some intentions or identify some ideal areas for adjustment so that you can move ahead in closer alignment with your heart’s true intentions, then please join me tomorrow dear friends for an informal and heart-centred Aquarius Full Moon ritual at 12:37pm AEST (11:37am QAEDT and 10:37am WAEST).
I’ll speak a little about the symbolism and opportunities of this lunation and then lead us into an intention-setting ritual and meditation 🌟 and then if anyone is keen to understand how the current celestial weather is playing out specifically for them, and they’re happy to share, perhaps we can look at some chart examples… It’s a great way to learn and helps us get better at working better with what we’ve got, which is one of the most practical and magical functions of astrology in my opinion 🌞 Forgive me it things get a bit glitchy as I work it out!
Hope to see you for some Full Moon magic tomorrow my friends 🌕🌞🌙
