What's happening this Aquarius Full Moon? Creating the new earth together.
Use the energy of this full moon to create, expand and transcend your limitations
This August 1st, it is the full moon in Aquarius according to Western astrology. Although Vedic astrology may be more accurate and I am yet to delve into that further, Western astrology does provide many insights and guidance as well (being born in England, perhaps that’s why it’s easier for me).
The sign of Aquarius is all about new creation and revolution.
We have been going through an enormous timeline shift in these past 3 years, with 2020 we saw the enforcing of lockdowns and many changes in the way we were living. We’ve seen a boom in artificial intelligence, and also an unveiling of the more sinister agendas to control our planet; the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry (that many are not yet acknowledging and will have to if we want to survive) and what we term in new age spirituality as THE NEW EARTH.
And there is no energy like Aquarius that collides with the new earth because we are literally in the Age of Aquarius, one of the most transformative times that human history has witnessed and if you are awake during this time on planet, you are here for a deeper purpose. That’s why we have to heal ourselves, detoxify, trust in the higher calling and realign ourselves to our divine timeline.
Yet the new earth is anything but new, it is a revival of out ancient ancestral origins and traditions. It is a new way of living, being in greater harmony with nature. Conscious spiritual community and a higher dimensional, higher frequency awareness within ourselves and with the world around us.
Because our soul family, our spiritual community is all across the world. The indigenous and shamanic origins of the planet, the ancestral lineages and traditions are all connected. There are already multiple spiritual communities across the world, from San Marcos in Guatemala, Koh Phangan, Bali, California, Avalon in England, all points at which the new age spiritual community converges.
In the new earth, we are seeing a rapid rise in innovation, new opportunity to grow beyond the confines of the matrix, and the formation of conscious living spaces and eco-villages outside of cities because many people have woken up to the agendas of the new world order / great reset and wish to simultaneously build communities embodying the ancient ways of life where the government control is less. We are seeing a remembrance of who we really are, unlocking our inherent spiritual abilities and trusting them in a more profound way to be of service to humanity. And we are also seeing a reclamation of our indigenous origins and identities - for me that is the Vedic Hindu civilisation, the last ancient living civilisation on the planet. There has never been a more powerful time for us to ascend.
And the energy of this Aquarius full moon is just that - expansion.
The full moon shines a light on our subconscious mind - unlike the new moon, which is the dark moon; the full moon literally lights up our shadow. It is the full and total expansion phase of the moon and a powerful time to do any kind of rituals or explore altered states of consciousness. It is a good time to release energies, forgive and cleanse your channel to allow new energy to be received.
As we are also now in Leo season, where Leo energy is all about coming into our truth, personal power, courage and leadership; together both of these energies provide a powerful window of opportunity to connect to that cosmic expansion that we can tap into for our own benefit and create new things.
The energy of the full moon can also bring up difficult emotions and triggers, women tend to be more influenced by the energies of the moon and different signs will also experience it to different degrees. Understand that anything difficult that comes up, is coming up to be cleared. Allow it come through - sadness, anger, frustration, the full moon becomes difficult when you block your energies and don’t let them flow.
That’s why full moon rituals are so deeply healing on not just a conscious but a subconscious level. The most important thing to do is take time aside simply for yourself, instead of distracting yourself or avoiding / fighting with the present.
If you are someone that feels off or like you’re losing it during a full moon, don’t worry as we all feel that. Some simple ways you can process and free up energy during this time are putting your feet in a salt bath, cleanse your aura with sage / incense, be in nature, practice methods that allow you to shift dense or difficult emotional energy like EFT. There are too many methods of emotional healing to write here, so here are some ways to make use of this energy to make shifts in your life!
How to make use of the Aquarius new moon energy for your evolution
1. The most simple thing to do is journal. As this energy is all about expansion, write down in a notebook all the most insane inspired dreams that you have, things you want to build. Here is an example journal promps: “what would my life look like at its highest potential? describe everything in detail, from where you live, what you are doing etc.” “what would life feel like if I was living in my highest divine alignment?” don’t just describe the outer but your own states of being. You don’t just manifest external things but manifest new versions if yourself beyond closed narratives or liming beliefs.
2. The full moon is a good time to do shadow work, to introspect on the patterns that hold you back and shift them. Some journal prompts are "what behavioural patterns are currently holding me back from fulfilling my highest potential?” “where do I feel unsatisfied or where I am dimming my own light? where can I stand more in my power and express my truth?” “what thoughts or limiting beliefs about myself can I release?” There is no shame in feeling bad, there is no need to spiritually gaslight or bypass your pain or difficulties, nor is there a need to constantly attach to what’s going wrong.
3. Don’t just use the intellectual mind, the energy of the moon is also feminine and creative! Draw something, paint with colours in a paper with a brush and allow your channel to open. Revolution is not just about the external world but also about tapping into higher and new faculties inside yourself. If you have every felt inspired to venture more into the spiritual realm, this energy will support you.
4. The full moon is a wonderful time to process forgiveness. A lot of the pain and turmoil that comes up during full moons is just the subconscious rising to the surface, you can practice the Hawaiian prayer of Hoponopono which involves repeating four statements “I’m so sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you” you can repeat to a person, situation (it doesn’t matter whether or whether not they deserve forgiveness) but to clarify, heal and purify the energy, you can repeat it randomly to yourself or even to parts of your body that need healing like your digestive system or brain. The root of it all is coming back to self-love, so don’t let spirituality just be about putting pressure on yourself but also the physical act of self care, taking time to breathe and simply allow yourself to exist. Such a crazy concept in this modern world of screens.
5. And lastly, this is a very powerful time to do any kind of Sadhana in the Sanatan Dharma traditions - sadhana is spiritual practice within the Vedic culture. This involves mantra chanting, homam and various other methods. I will be sharing more resources on how to start with a mantra japa practice and link it here in this article. I have also posted about the Vedic astrology of this particular full moon on my iamkamyabuch handle Instagram stories.
