This moon pushes our foresight, vision, and detachment. We learn to go with the flow here, march to the beat of our own drums, embrace innovation, and lean into the unconventional objectively. It is important to take the time with this moon and ask yourself what authentic part of yourself you need to share more of with the world. Aquarius is aligned with 11th house energy so you want to set intentions toward releasing excessive attachment, making more beneficial connections, clarifying your vision for the future, brainstorming solutions, or humanitarian efforts. Here we can use the mons energy to find a map that allows us to successfully navigate the future with brilliance, malleability, community, and support.
Avoid trying to hit the ground running! This is setting the stage for the new chapter that will come through with spring equinox. We are still under retrograde shadow and in the dead of winter. Closure season is still upon us. It is the beginning of the end and this moon brings the cleansing fluidity of water along with the intellect and detachment of air. Here we begin to see the vision, we strategize, we gain clarity, and we garner support. Its not quite time for actin yet Mars just came out of retrograde.
Our full moon in Aquarius is 8/1. Think about what you would like to accomplish from now until 8.1. What are the major shifts, connections, and intentions you are looking to manifest.
