Full Moon July 2021: Are you ready for the full moon in Aquarius?

Are you ready for the full moon in Aquarius?


I will be honest. I am generally not one to follow the moon cycles as a habit. But, after the universal energetic shift that was so obvious in 2020, I have been paying a lot more attention. I mean, can you blame me?


Tomorrow we will be graced with new moon energy in the sign of Aquarius, and the messages that have come up are those of drastic changes, the ability to fill in in the gaps, and the need to put the past in perspective.


This new Aquarian energy will be illuminating the self in connection, relationships, and again strong urge to reconcile the past.


In this season, the moon allows you to hone in on the changes that you need internally. This season is critical because you will likely see the changes you haven’t made create chaos in your outer world. The difference you need to see in your life will be obvious and pretty significant if you hope to balance things and get on the road to feeling good and abundant. 


So, if you are considering a complete make-over, a change in your relationship status, or a career move, the time is now. The change needed requires a sacrifice of the ego but will aid you in tearing down limiting beliefs that no longer serve the vision you have for yourself now. 


A good question to ask yourself is, “who will I become with this change?”


Consider if your future self will resemble who you are now or the person that holds the keys to everything you seek on your vision board.   


The Aquarian moon also creates the need to surrender. You may be holding on to a version of your past that is no longer represents who you are now. What you have left behind that you are trying to return to is the question. And, is that thing still relevant?


Nostalgic feelings surface in Leo season and create mental chaos if you don’t put your past perspective. You are urged to tale the fruit of the lesson without the need to return to the tree. Patience will serve you in unpacking your emotional aspect, and also self-reflection through journaling will be critical. Be sure you lay all of your cards out on the table, so to speak, before calling upon ex or seeking out a childhood friend.   


Stay present. 


In the present, you will find yourself making connections, creating new financial pathways, and emerging from negative patterns. Be mindful that Aquarius energy brings you as much emotional punch with its water aspect as it does mental clarity if you are open to it.


My suggestion, Friend, is to be intentional about spiritual practice this month and schedule some time for guidance to clear where to center your focus and have the mental clarity to navigate your choices. 



Is your full moon ritual ready?

Depending on where your spiritual beliefs lie, you may not have considered a full moon ritual and shrugged it off and pagan nonsense that you don’t subscribe to you. But, a full moon ritual is more than just offering random trinkets and dancing under the moonlight. The energy of the moon can provide you with as much benefit as the sun offers with daylight. It is about understanding what you stand to gain and how to work with all of the universal energetic forces, not just the ones that are familiar to you. 


The purpose of the full moon ritual is to find a universal union with the energy of the night. A ritual is nothing more than a practice to welcome or to release. In full moon rituals, you welcome the new energy of the night and its astrological assignment to help guide you through any given season. Looking to the night will reveal the lessons and the energy of the consciousness. When you ignore it, it makes it harder for you to understand your challenges, but you can find meaning and flow in acceptance even in your obstacles. 


The night illuminates your shadow self, and the shadows must be revealed for healing, growth, and greater surrender to the universal forces. It is to the universe, the consciousness, that we belong, and when you move in alignment with the highest order, you find balance and peacefulness. 


To start a powerful full moon ritual, set intentions for growth. Allow yourself to be open to all of the things you would like to change when you approach a new moon. Then, you can create an offering by writing down this new growth intention and surrendering them to the higher energy, the moon. Finally, you can say a prayer of strength, courage, or patience as you seek from the universe, but you must trust your growth will be culminated with the new moon energy.


For some setting intentions, and saying a simple prayer may feel intangible. If so, seeking guidance from someone connected intuitively may be more comforting and genuine for you. In this form of ritual, you can create questions with your intentions and apply the guidance your receive as the opportunity to take new actions as new experiences arise.


If you are a crystal love, be sure to charge your gems under the moon's light and give them new intentions as well. Full moon energy is the best time for cleansing, including your spiritual space and your divination tools. 


Also, be mindful of creating a positive impact by offering fresh energy or perspective within your inner circle or community. Positive intention everywhere is the name of the game when it comes to any powerful full moon ritual.


Always perform your full moon practice within the first three days of the new moon to absorb the most potent energy and to honestly give yourself a fresh start in your journey. 


How will you grow under the Aquarian moon?


Only time will tell.


Cheers to a new season of growth!
