"I am The server and dispenser of the living waters."

A Full moon that occurs between July 23 and August 23 will be in the sign of Aquarius. This potent moon energy is for wishes to come true and all (but not limited to) magickal workings pertaining to:

Creating detachment/releasing what no longer serves.

Inspiration

Humanitarian efforts

Telepathy

Expanding your social circle

Healing problems with the ankles

The Aquarius Full Moon says “I experience”. This is a transit dealing with facts,organizing, political issues, desires to save the world through social action, connecting with others in social situations, detachment, and the need to come and go without restrictions.

Aquarius Moon  is a dramatic mood change, major shifts will be taking place. Where Capricorn valued tradition and caution, Aquarius’ energy craves anything new, innovative, different or unconventional. Expect extremes of optimism and pessimism but take time to relax into yourself, meditate, breathe, allow for your expansive nature to appear. During this lunar transit, women may feel the need to be friendly and social but don’t want to be too personal or go too deep.

The Aquarius moon energy is  detached/rational rather than emotional, and will change only if it’s logical to do so. Freedom is very important right now, so live with as few restrictions as possible, and please be careful  with what you ask for, this lunar eclipse + Full Moon will give you everything in double measure. Take the time to contemplate on your wishes and dreams, write them down.

Lunar Eclipse 

Lunar eclipses  take place during the full moons when the sun, Earth, and moon all enter into "syzygy", which means they are aligned in a straight, and even line. During this transit is when our moon  passes behind our planet and into the Earth’s umbra, or its shadow. This will result in  blocking out the light from the sun and plunging the moon into partial darkness. Since this eclipse is considered penumbral rather than total or partial, the moon is expected to enter Earth’s shadow only slightly, and therefore the transit  won’t be too visible. 

Moon Journal Meditation 

Sitting in silence, light a blue candle  and burn incense (or oil) of Lavender or pine. 

Ask yourself "How can I use these energies of Aquarius for the upliftment of creation as a whole?" Allow yourself to align with the Universal realm of ideas, by being receptive to visions, ideas , new inspirations, and new impressions from the spiritual realms that speak to you. With a joyful heart, commit to writing down these ideas to manifest into the world as an act of service to humanity.
