FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS (II/II)
We'll be experiencing the second Full Moon in Aquarius this year in a very short span of time at 29 degrees on the 22nd of August 2021.
Since this Full Moon is at an anaretic degree (29 degrees A.K.A big fckn deal) this can set a significant tone moving forward especially with Jupiter's Retrograde sitting pretty in a cosy conjunction to this Moon and in opposition to the Sun.
My interpretation of this Full Moon is about the relationship between reflection and projection which I feel would be something wise to contemplate and consider.
what is the cosmic influence play by play?
This particular lunar illumination packs a pretty impactful punch with, not only the anaretic degree, but also with Uranus switching gears to station retrograde. Uranus is known as the 'Great Awakener' as it's eccentric qualities can create either great innovation or hella disruption - but usually it's a mixture of both beyond the binary lens of how we view experience.
This cosmic configuration has A LOT of potentials for both pleasure and pain dependent on, of course, our individual charts but also the choices we create from change or chaos.
What is highlighted to me most here are the polarities + activations at play and the ways in which these can be (potentially) expressed. So, before I dive into the nitty gritty, I'd suggest you sit pretty, open to whatever thoughts or relevance this information may reveal to you personally.
We have the Aquarius/Leo axis climaxing at the 29th anaretic degree with the additional conjunction between Jupiter and the Moon in opposition to the Sun which I briefly mentioned earlier. Since 29 is the final and fleeting degree of this axis - we can interpret this as the confetti cannon at a celebration. It is the moment of pressure + release, surprise and significance.
But, just like that, in a flash, the moment has passed and there is an aftermath of fragments in need of clearing and cosmically resetting.
This can be interpreted as something we are honouring + releasing for good or it could be feel like the last straw in the midst of chaos.
How we respond is up to us, our circumstances and our resources.
The opposition between the Sun, Moon and Jupiter Retrograde has an explosive, poppin' undertone as Jupiter's conjunction to the Moon amplifies all three energies involved. Retrograde energy is an invitation for revisitation - so perhaps an opportunity, a perspective or some similar scenario can make a reappearance.
Reflecting back to around February 11th for the New Moon in Aquarius to March's New Moon in Pisces around the 13th - what has evolved since then to now? Has anything fallen away, passed its expiration date or on the flip side totally transpired?
Where can we recognise our areas and patterns of growth to harmonise and work alongside our current circumstances?
There can be an err of arrogance in the air especially with the activated Leo/Aquarius + Pisces/Virgo axis - Jupiter amplifies and creates abundance between our emotions and persona (Sun/Moon) HOWEVER lest we forget the Mercury + Mars conjunction in Virgo making an opposition to Neptune in Pisces.
Neptune rules illusions and the subconscious realms which is a double whammy in the sign of Pisces. With this opposition and potential Virgo shadow (such as perfectionism and criticism) we may come across like a bit of an A-hole if imbalanced and heavily influenced. The anaretic degree of Leo/Aquarius, Sun/Self and Moon/Emotions has potential to be a ripe channel for this energy, so something to be mindful of in ourselves and when interacting with others. The conjunction of Mercury + Mars also brings sharp tongues, conflict and confrontation or just the classic speaking without reflecting, acting without thinking etc, etc.
This also has potential to bring a lot of downloads, sudden inspiration and powerful intuitive hits as Uranus Retrograde will be making a trine to this Mercury/Mars conjunction in Virgo. Sometimes the fallout is the solution. The poison becomes the antidote.
In order to harness and navigate this energy, we'll be looking towards highlighting the Saturn Retrograde trine Venus aspect. This energy is about bringing diligence and discipline towards our harmony. By moving forward with diplomacy and tact (Libra) we can ground ourselves (Saturn) with our values at the forefront (Venus) to create the best outcome for ourselves and the collective at large (Aquarius).
Are we aligning with our visions and accepting our destinies? There is abundant opportunity available but it is within our conscious choices which determines how this can be captivated. How do we spend our luck? Are we frivolous and fanciful or do we invest to implement improvement?
How do we navigate conflicts or abrupt changes? Mercury/Mars conjunction and the Sun (soon come) will be making a square to the North Node in Gemini - which is all about aligning with our destinies and embodying our full potential. How do we respond? How can we invest in ourselves in spite of adversity that has the potential to benefit the collective at large?
Invest into authentic self. Invest into authentic, resonant talents and hobbies. Do something that brings even a brief moment of happiness daily. Reflect on values, on what we love and reconcile what we don't. We have the power to relinquish what no longer serves us, the attachments and the stories we tell ourselves. Allow inspiration to emerge from adversity.
I pulled some cards and created some journal prompts to reflect and further contemplate navigating these energies, so you can check that out below.
