The Aquarius Full Moon will light up the August sky, peaking on the 19th. This is our last Full Moon before Eclipse Season begins, and we may feel the intensity rising.
Eclipse Season is always a highly transformative time, and it seems like this Full Moon is planting the seeds of change. We may feel the unsettling energy flowing in, but it seems that the Universe is not ready for us to land just yet.
It can always be unsettling to be in a state of limbo or in the process of change, but one thing we can come back to under this Full Moon is the idea of flow. This is our time to flow with what is coming up for us, rather than trying to control.
This Full Moon really wants us to surrender, it really want us to just be present in whatever is showing up for us.
Being in this almost passive state can be freeing, but can also activate a lot of fear. Many of us are not used to being in a state of flow. We often want to control; we want a solution or instant fix, and we want to be able to plan for what’s ahead. But the Aquarius Full Moon is not offering that.
Uranus Shakens to Awaken, under the August Full Moon
Uranus, the natural ruler of Aquarius, is also active under this Full Moon, adding to the insecurity we may be feeling. When Uranus is active along with the Moon, we can feel irrational, moody, and caught off-guard.
The presence of Uranus also indicates some sort of surprise or wildcard energy that we perhaps didn’t see coming. Things may turn in an unexpected direction or we may receive some information that shocks us. Uranus can also trigger what is weak, revealing to us what is no longer stable or working in our lives.
While all of this volatile energy may feel confronting and unnerving, there is an illuminating quality to this Full Moon, too. Uranus shakes things up in our lives in order to awaken us to a new truth and eventually, a new freedom. Uranus wants to shake us awake so we can see something we didn’t notice before.
Try to keep this in mind under the Aquarius Full Moon. Remember that any shaking is purely to awaken you to a higher state of consciousness and a new way of being.
Vesta, the Goddess of Hearth and Fire, Guides us Home Under the August Full Moon
Vesta, the Goddess Asteroid of Hearth and Fire is also active under this Full Moon, and perhaps her presence can provide some softening to all of this volatile, Uranian energy.
Vesta reminds us to come back to our inner world and tend to our own fire. She reminds us that home is where the heart is and where we are going to find our security and stability through the Full Moon’s volatility.
Vesta wants us to create a feeling of nourishment in our environment and tend to our own inner fire. Perhaps this is a time to return to our passions, follow our joy, and practice self-love by serving ourselves.
How can we activate a feeling of peace and love within? How can we then take that feeling of peace and love and allow it to infuse into our surroundings? Mastering this can be a true gift and an offering that this Full Moon has for us.
Start by seeking peace within. Start by doing all you can to nourish and tend to your own inner fire, and watch how your outside follows as a result.
Be aware that under this Full Moon, what is rocking in your outside world is only so it can be a truer reflection of your inside world.
