Aquarius Full Moon: Visions for Future Making
1 August, 2023
This Aquarius Full Moon wants us to be complete, whole of mind. This Moon encourages us to see that we already have the solution to that 'problem' and wants us to implement that solution with resolve and confidence.
Aquarius is always concerned about the Future, a geography which is naturally filled with uncertainty and unknowing. This full moon is gifting us the downloads, ideas, messages from our world, (and realms beyond) specifically for the Future. Take notes! Night dreams, day dreams, shower thoughts, pillow talk, or a meditation can all be sources of these Future making thoughts. It's a great day for intentional brainstorming. The astrology around this moon is also supportive of combining thought and action to deliver belief in self, and a centering of vision. Vision is an excellent word for this lunation. It illuminates a vision of our Future selves we may have never recognised or seen before. That’s so exciting!
Mars, the universal energiser, trines (positive aspect) Jupiter, the universal expander. This is an generous and kinetic transit that can give us just the right amount of jump start of vision and execution that we need, or may also be volatile if we don’t begin to use and move with all this built up energy. More is more with this transit! Neither planet will be satisfied with stasis, inaction or lack of effort. We may all be collectively called to "try a ting", as we say at home. Try a ting! Put one, some or all of the Aquarius Full Moon ideas into action. You won't know what it'll produce in the Future until you TRY. Oh, boy; I am reading myself again.
Mercury and Saturn (Aquarius's ancient ruler) oppose each other around this Full Moon. Old patterns of thought or old ideas about ourselves and our futures may be significantly challenged, and fall away easily (if we don't resist) to reveal more aligned pathways for self-realisation. Saturn is strict and structured; it wants us to do well but it will always test us, and these structural examinations are never easy. What is the strategy or role of self-doubt in our lives? What is the strategy of indecision? I don't know, honestly. I battle these questions everyday. But I do choose to know (or believe) that I can work with this Full Moon and the Mercury/Saturn opposition to better figure it out. I invite you to do the same.
A Collective Tarot reading for the Aquarius Full Moon: Prince of Swords x Queen of Swords x Wealth
Clarity of mind, use of intellect, focus, honesty with self (first and foremost) and others will bring about an abundance of wealth--not just in the material sense, but wealth of community, family, healthy relationships and domestic harmony. We are being asked to mature the way we use our minds. The Prince of Swords is a youth in the process of cutting off distractions and external opinions, so that it can hear their own thoughts and make decisions that will arrive them at the future destination they have chosen for themselves. The Queen of Swords is the most mature and exalted archetype of the family of Swords; they are committed to truth, transparency and justice; they have elevated their skills of observation, active speaking and listening, and practice of justice to a place where thoughts and truth ring through crystal clear to them, sometimes for communication to others.
This Queen is independent; let’s strive to embody her. What can we best envision and achieve on our own, without all the outside noise? Leadership, efficiency, single parenting, individual responsibilities are all implied. We may be bored or irritated with working with others at this time; others' ideas or visions for you may not land smoothly, especially if you have already determined a strategy for yourself. This lunation is a moment of reckoning with yourself to divine your own path to wealth-- in all its forms. Full Moon Blessings!
