Key Insights from the August Full Moon

The Power of the Aquarius Full Moon

The Full Moon in Aquarius urges us to break away from expectations and resonate with our own unique frequency. Through introspection and honesty, this lunar event is the perfect time to let go of what no longer serves us and embrace the truth of who we are.

Navigating Mercury Retrograde in Leo

Mercury's retrograde in Leo brings a disruption to mental clarity, pressing us to step away from overthinking and connect with our heart and soul. Instead of strategizing or forcing clarity, the invitation is to rest the mind and listen for authentic inner guidance.

Embracing Risk and Authentic Expression

The current astrological climate challenges us to take brave risks, shed outdated versions of success, and pursue what truly lights us up. It's a moment to question not only our public image but the core desires of our heart.

Two Quotes to Inspire

  • "The remedy for this is for you to be so incredibly, brutally, rawly, bravely honest with who you truly are and what you absolutely desire."
  • "How can you be so raw with your own truth and be brave enough to stand in it, even when it's messy or it’s stinky?"

Top 3 Questions Answered

1. How does the August Full Moon impact personal and professional growth?

(3:23 - 4:22) The Full Moon in Aquarius, opposing the Sun in Leo, prompts us to assess how we want to be seen and known. It's a cosmic nudge to drop pretenses and bravely acknowledge our true desires and authentic path, both personally and professionally. The energy supports letting go of what isn’t ours and invites boldness in pursuing genuine goals.

2. Why does Mercury retrograde in Leo feel especially disruptive this month?

(0:37 - 4:22) Mercury’s retrograde in Leo distorts communication by pulling us away from mental clarity and into introspection. The usual Leo bravado is clouded, making it tough to express ourselves or feel "on" in conversations. This period is less about thinking and more about tuning into the messages of the heart and soul.

3. What practical rituals can enhance alignment with this August Full Moon in Aquarius?

(14:53 - 23:42) A grounding ritual centered around self-acceptance is highlighted, including working with the flower essence of pine for self-acceptance, aquamarine for courage, and invoking the spirit of the skunk for self-worth. The focus is on settling into your body, honoring your journey, and shining authentically—no matter how messy that process might feel.

Fun Facts from This Episode

  1. The Skunk Is Your Power Animal: Stand proudly in your authenticity—just like the skunk, which symbolizes self-worth and individuality, even when it’s a little stinky.
  2. Pine and Aquamarine for the Full Moon: Pine flower essence and aquamarine crystal can help cultivate self-acceptance and courage during this powerful lunar phase.
  3. Even the Experts Pivot: Candid behind-the-scenes revelations highlight that even seasoned strategists experience periods of reinvention and messy, vulnerable risk-taking.
