Full Moon in Aquarius - August 2nd

It's definitely an advantage to live our lives with the knowledge that we are made up of energy and that everything around us is also made of energy.....and we need to remember that our emotions are also just energy!
E-motions (energy in motion) come and go and they can also be affected by what is going on around us energetically. 
The full moon is one of those things that can greatly affect our energy/emotions as the fuller the moon, the greater the pull on the water in our body (just like the moon pulls the tides) and guess where our energy vibrations are most active? Within the water in our bodies! 
We are made up of around 60% water so there can be a lot of emotional shifts going on during the lunar phases which are of course heightened when the moon is at it's fullest. Just ask teachers, nurses and doctors how their shifts go around the full moon!
And depending on what time of the year it is and where the moon is in the sky, it can have an extra layer of specific energy that we can harness and use for our benefit.
You don't have to be an Aquarius to make use of this full moon energy as it affects all star signs, although those born under the Aquarian sign may feel this energy a little more than others.

So what's happening energetically for us this full moon?
This month's full moon occurs in Aquarius on August 2nd here in Australia at 4.31am AEST. This is another supermoon (appearing larger as it's closer to the Earth)

Full moons are always a time of powerful manifesting, achieving our goals and releasing energy that we no longer want or need to carry over to the next month. And just as the full moon marks a completion or an ending to something....it is also the start of something new as the cycle begins again.
This month's full moon energy:
  • August's full moon in Aquarius will be helping you to see and bring forth all the ways you can initiate new beginnings and breathe new life into the areas of your life that have been feeling stuck and stagnant in for too long. There will be so much healing and letting go under the energy of this Aquarian supermoon.

  • You may be firstly feeling resistant to bringing about these changes...but you know in your heart that they have been waiting for the right time to be brought forth. They are the thoughts that have been purposefully placed on the back burners so you won't have to rock your own boat but you will now feel the irresistible pull to bring them back to the front burners and act. It's time.

  • You might also be feeling the pull to break a few of your own rules and/or maybe someone else's rules. The desire to shake things up and liberate yourself from traditions and structures that have been placed on you by yourself or others will feel strong. This is a good thing! Shaking off the complacency and finally seeing what might suit you better NOW regardless of how it's been done in the past will feel amazing and empowering. 

  • This will all tie in with your recent feelings of needing to be seen, accepted and affirmed. You will feel this shift into a new desire...to be thinking and acting without craving anyone else's approval. You won't be doing anything to gain the positive attention of anyone else...you will be just acting on what feels right now and without the need to check with anyone that this is for the best. You will know what is best for you and that is all you will care about.

  • Even if this means going against the grain, it will feel good to step into your full self expression and stop the people pleasing. More feelings of empowerment will come from acting from your true authentic self while not feeling the need to keep everyone else happy. Your happiness is a priority for once and it will feel very freeing!
  • So much space for healing with all the letting go as you step into these new powerful feelings. There will be a lot of heart healing energy with Venus in retrograde too so any heavy matters of the heart will feel lighter and less painful as you move into this new healed space within yourself. You may have been feeling extra sensitive in the lead up to this full moon as this energy has been bringing the past pain and hurt more to the surface but that will start to release as you let it go from the night of August 2nd and the days after. 

  • You may feel very in your head with lots of mental chatter and swirling thoughts thanks to this airy Aquarian energy, but if you can write it down on paper and have some conversations, this will help clear your headspace. Also take lots of showers and baths and do some bare feet on the ground...this will ground you, get you out of your head and help clear the emotions that have been building and rising up. So many great decisions and thoughts will become evident if you aid your mind and get still enough to hear them.

    Support for Kids

Your kids will be speaking up! Anything they have been putting off telling you due to not wanting to rock the boat will be coming up now! If you know you have a child that people pleases, don't be surprised if they start to make decisions and act on things that serve themself first for a change! Encourage any positive new behaviours where you can see them putting themselves first even if that feels challenging to you initially.

You might also notice a lot of unwelcome rebellion as kids feel the pull to go against the structures you have put in place to carve out some controlled chaos! So they might come across as misbehaving and rule breaking at the moment but try not to be too alarmed as you know they are being affected by the current energy and have just been whipped up by it...they will settle again soon...but please look at anything that can be done differently going forward as perhaps they are rebelling against something that needs to change for where they are at now...it may be a rule or structure that they have now outgrown and need some new space in something that is set up a bit differently now...so be open to that.

Your children might surprise you with new statements or requests that you didn't think was on their radar or even a priority for them...listen to them and try and honour the fact that they have been releasing old stuff and making way for new things. They might currently not be caring what their friends think of them and so are now voicing and acting upon things that they have previously been worried about being judged for...they won't care as much at the moment and will be acting from a place of authenticity and their true self....so really listen.

Little ones (and big ones) will have been more moodier with more tantrums in the lead up to this full moon as their inner hurt has been more at the surface...so if this is ramping up as the moon is finally full, don't forget to run more baths! Encourage more running around on the grass with shoes off and know that this crescendo will soon reach a much calmer place inside them and enjoy that peace when it comes while it lasts! 😉

Emotional Support Tools 

 Flower Essence blends to be taking during this full moon: 

🌸 Let it Go

🌸 Grounding 

🌸 Courage

🌸 Intuition

🌸 Slow Down

🌸 Protect

And enjoy any full moon rituals you might like to get up to - a magnesium bath, crystal cleansing, journal writing etc.

It can also be a great time to get some energy healings like reiki, and if you can do some yoga and meditation or just sit quietly watching a candle flame for 10 minutes. Anything that helps attune your energy body with your physical body around this full moon energy will be extremely beneficial. 

Make sure you are gentle with yourself and others right now and reap the benefits of working with the energy within you and around you...
