The Full Buck Moon In Aquarius


The Full Moon in Aquarius occurs on July 23rd. This is a time of radical introspection. It marks a turning point in our lives — which we may be ready for. Even if we do not make any moves, at least we are understanding things from an intellectual and analytical viewpoint. We are seeing things clearly now, all of which have been swept under the carpet and ignored for quite some time

 

The Buck Moon won’t make any major planetary aspects, it’ll find itself aligning with the asteroid Vesta (who’s currently in Libra). In astrology, the asteroid Vesta represents the fire within ourselves that makes us commit, give to others, and devote time to others.Therefore, this luminary will force us to level up the way we deal with those we care about. Accountability is a must. Acknowledging our part in a bad situation or relationship is essential to do during this Full Moon. Also, We will dedicate ourselves to the people in situations that have proven to be faithful to us throughout the past months. If we see that others have been shady, it’s time to sit back and think about their actions and decide if we can keep that energy in our lives. Odds are that we will opt to give everyone and everything a second chance, but with conditions and restrictions. The truth is that we do not want to end anything at the moment. We just want it to improve. 

 

The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is “An Unexpected Thunderstorm.” This description is quite literal. Uranus is the modern planetary ruler of the Aquarius Moon, and is the Lord of the Sky. Uranus Controls thunder and rain, as well as progressive sentiments and change. Unexpected events and information will create temporary drama, all the words will be resolved. There will be minor “thunderstorms” brewing beneath the surface of the situation. They will come to you ahead during the Full Moon in a startling way like a sudden clash of thunder. The best way to temper our emotions is to step away from the drama and rationally think about matters. This will help us decide what to do in the future, as long as we're being honest about what we need and want. The fixed star Albireo links up with the Moon, creating a contemplative and idealistic vibe, which echoes that sentiment. 

 

The Full Buck Moon in Aquarius occurs on July 23rd at 7:37 PM PDT and 10:37 PM EDT.

 

Ritual for the Full Moon:

 

Light a blue candle to help you find peace of mind. Spend a few minutes once you light the candle meditating on the relationships and situations in your life which need changing. Let your mind flow with ease. You’ll come to see certain dynamics aren’t working for you and the way you wish they would. The deeper you go inwards with mindful breathing, the more insights you’ll download from the universe. After you are done with your meditation, take note of the information you have been enlightened with. Journal your thoughts and feelings. Doing this will bring clarity to your mind and your heart, allowing you to decide what Avenue and path to pursue. It will also help you Let go of unhealthy things that have been consuming your mind for some time.
