FULL MOON - AUGUST 22, 2021

8/20/2021

​The Full Moon is on Sunday, August 22 at 7:02 a.m. CDT in 29° Aquarius. Having just made a conjunction with Jupiter a few hours earlier, the Moon is imbued with an expansive feeling of fellowship and connection with all Life. Good energy for social and humanitarian efforts.  Intensify the positive Jupiterian spirit by sharing stories with others that include hopefulness for the future.

The influence of Aquarius is all about ideas. Aquarius is by element an air sign which signifies thoughts and communication. But by modality, Aquarius is a fixed sign which means resistant to change.  At this Full Moon take some time to reflect on the ideas that you hold about life (or your life). Are there any thought patterns that are not working for you but you feel a resistance to changing?

Try this simple "neti, neti" meditation technique to separate your true self from your thoughts.

Sitting with your back straight and eyes closed, watch your thoughts.  As each thought arises say, "Neti" or "I am not this" or "I am not this thought."  Then, let go of the thought and return your focus to the center of your mind.  Repeat with the next thought.  Enjoy the quiet spaces between the thoughts.

If you are still feeling mentally restless from the Uranus station retrograde on August 19th, try using music with some brainwave entrainment to relax.  Here's one from Steven Halpern:

NEW MOON - AUGUST 8, 2021

8/6/2021

The New Moon is on Sunday, August 8 at 8:49 a.m. CDT in 16° Leo. Lively social energy and new ideas are at the forefront. The New Moon squares Uranus whose capricious energy suggests that it's wisest to write down those bright ideas and wait to review them at the Full Moon to see if they're worth pursuing. Uranus also rules electronics, so online social events might benefit you at this time. (More on Uranus below.)

Venus opposes Neptune at the New Moon.  It puts Venus the planet of beauty, love and desire in conflict with Neptune the planet of intuition and subtle connections. Watch out for both deception from others and self-deception in relationships. Take your time moving from first contact to romance.
​
On August 19th, Uranus goes retrograde 14° Taurus. The effect of this stationary point is a week on either side of that date. If your Sun or other planets are in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) it could last a little longer. In general, Uranus stationary points signify unexpected changes of plan. It can help to be flexible in mind and also mindful as you go through your day. There's an accident prone component of Uranus that can be softened by moving slowly and paying attention to your surroundings.

This Uranus station point will emphasize its square to Saturn in Aquarius that has been forming and reforming throughout the year. Saturn is an urge for limitation. Uranus is an urge for freedom. Saturn is tradition. Uranus is rebellion.  Watch your relationships at this time to see if you are the person limiting someone else's freedom which causes them to rebel. Or are you the rebel, straining against convention? Look back to previous Saturn square Uranus dates this year to help you understand this square:  February 17, May 22 and June 14. 

Remember that Uranus also represents the genius of creativity. Saturn is the hours of mastery that anyone in the arts or sciences puts into their craft. These two forces can be used together to produce something amazing.
