The Aquarius Full Moon and Your Connection to the Collective
These are the big themes & areas of your life the Full Moon in Aquarius (on August 1, 2023, 11:31am PST) is bringing to the surface and asking you to shed/address.
I have curated a playlist on Spotify just for this Full Moon cycle to help you deepen into the vibes via music and would be a great resource to play in the background as you journal or release via your own personal Full Moon ritual!
And if you’d like guidance and community to embrace and move through the things coming up, my Full Moon Ritual on Monday, August 1 @ 7:30 pm @ Liberate Yourself in Sherman Oaks.
#1. 🎯 Role in Community vs Creative Vision
With the moon in the 5th house of desire, joy, and creativity & sun in the 11th house of community, connection to our society, and faith in humanity; there is an extra push and pull between how you want to feel in your personal and what spaces you are surrounding yourself with. The most recent New Moon in the sign of Cancer asked us to question our feelings and get honest with ourselves about where we want to step into. This Full Moon in Aquarius is asking us to not take action on what we want, but be aware of where we are sacrificing ourselves and our authenticity to fit in with others & what type of spaces will support our vision. What feelings, notions, and desires are welling up inside you? What do you want to bring into the world? What makes you feel the most like your true self that lights you up? How can you incorporate all of those personal feelings and desires with the collective? How can you come together in community to achieve instead of trying to do everything by yourself?
#2. 🧿The Unknown Becomes Apparent
There is lots of energy in the 8th house of death, rebirth, sex, taboo, and darkness + the 12th house of spirituality, subconscious, psychology, morals, beliefs, and the collective as a whole. We have Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus in the 8th bringing a grounded and earthy energy to the house of darkness and cycles. You are being called to expand into something greater without knowing everything. Yet, this steady pushing earth energy of Taurus is showing you that it is okay to keep expanding. In the 12th house, we are also in the earthy energy of Virgo (but Virgo isn’t as grounded as Taurus might feel). With both Mars and Mercury in this house, you are being called to take action and communicate the things in our collective subconscious and individual subconscious. What have you been feeling lately in regard to your shadow and hidden parts? What pieces of yourself are you pushing away and hiding? What patterns and beliefs from the collective are you still entertaining and carrying with you? What is ready to die and what is ready to rise from the ashes? What parts of society need to die and be reborn?
#3. Lots of Tension Lighting Us Up
There are a few placements in the astrology of this Full Moon phase that have squares. In astrology a square indicates a right angle geometry between 3 placements. With squares there is a push and pull between these placements that can create tension. Think of tug of war and the push and pull from each side to win. All of these squares might be making you irritable, feel funky, your communication might be extra spicy, and you might feel a big Sword of Damocles hanging over you to do something. Note that those uncomfortable feelings are letting you know what needs to shift and be reflected on in your life. Why are you flying off the handle? What is the real root? Why do you feel like you want to start everything over? Where is the motivation coming from? Tension in our chart and life are normal, but it requires us to become still and listen to why it’s happening. Usually, this tension is telling you to find a rhythm or balance, to find a flow that works best for you in your life.
#4. Remember Who Rules Aquarius
Modern astrologers use Uranus as the ruler of Aquarius and many can feel that Aquarius is a misty, unknown innovator. But the traditional ruler of Aquarius is Saturn. Saturn is the big daddy of order, rules, and structures. He doesn’t spoon-feed you the answers and nurture you to get to where you need to be. With Saturn you learn the hard way. That is exactly why Aquarius is so easygoing, and always looking for ways to make things better. The better the structures are in our society the more we can all thrive. So note that all this energy is filtered through Saturn wanting you to make a plan and get clear before you take action. He wants you to do it right by placing the appropriate amount of importance and attention that each area or conflict in your life is asking of you. Even if it means something no longer deserves that time.
#5. 🕵️Human Design Gate 33, The Gate of Privacy
The Gate of Privacy is all about endings. At the end of something we need to take some time to reflect and pause. What have we achieved and what have we learned through this recent experience? Through the uncertainty of what’s next where can we rely on the strength that we have grown and renewed? Gate 33 is part of the Depths of Collective Memory (Gate 13). In Gate 13, there is an energy of remembering what was in the past. Pairing this with Gate 33, we can take what we remember and have learned and apply that to what we want to share with others. When the time is right you will feel the call to share your wisdom with your community and the collective, don’t let it pass you by…
