The Numinous’ own Ruby Warrington exposes the power of this week’s full moon…
On Monday, August 7 at 2:12pm EST, we experienced a Full Moon in Aquarius. Not just any old Full Moon — this astro event was a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, and the first of two eclipses shaking up the cosmos in August 2017.
Each and every Full Moon brings with it an ending of sorts. A cycle is completing, and it’s a time to celebrate what we’ve manifested. To get together with friends and share what we’ve learned. And when this coincides with a lunar eclipse, this energy is ramped-up tenfold. The energy is fast and furious. With the Aquarius Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, something was ready to be “eclipsed” out of your life — seemingly overnight — to make room for what will be eclipsed in at the corresponding Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse on August 21.
Factor in Mercury stationing retrograde on August 12 through September 5, and we could be in for a wild ride in the coming weeks.
The best way to navigate eclipse season is to park expectations, loosen your grip on control, and opt to just roll with it. This could feel a little scary at first, as you may find yourself being asked to just trust that whatever is unfolding is absolutely, 100%, for the highest good of all concerned.
And be aware: the biggest shifts will likely be occurring behind the scenes, deep in your subconscious. Yes, this may be reflected by events in the outside world, but pay extra attention now to changes in how you see the world — and your role as a global citizen.
The Aquarius Full Moon Lunar Eclipse (8/7) rules the needs of the collective, while the Leo New Moon Solar Eclipse (8/21) governs our need to be recognized for our personal contribution. The big question this eclipse season? What needs to go, to make room for you to shine brighter and bolder than ever before, and all in service of a better tomorrow?
Use the below journal prompts to dive deeper into the lessons of the Aquarius Full Moon Lunar Eclipse for your sign, reading for both your Sun and Rising sign. If you don’t know your Rising sign, you can calculate it here (look for “AC”) — but you will need your time of birth to the nearest hour.
