Full Super Moon in Aquarius

As we all know, full moon's have a tendency to "F" with our emotions, our mental stability and even how our physical bodies act/react. We are after all mostly water and the moon affects water - it pushes and it pulls, it causes the tides to rise and fall...


When we get a Super Moon, as we are about to experience tonight, August 11, 2022, the effects can be even more profound. (And for me personally, today is my ex's birthday AND tonight's moon is a full moon in Aquarius and I'm Aquarius) OMG!!!


I'm feeling like a yo-yo right now, to be honest - I don't know if I want to laugh or cry, I don't know if I want to exercise or sleep until this passes, I don't know if I want to research my new book or burn every page ever written...So how ya'll feeling?


So what can we do to minimize these effects? Firstly, listen to our bodies (not our minds); sleep when tired - that means turning off the screen when you feel tired and NOT when your mind says, oh please just one more video; eating when we are hungry - again, when your body says I'm hungry, not when your mind says, I'm bored, grab me some snacks!; drinking when thirsty and drinking water or sparkling water, not sugary caffiene filled crap and not drinking just because you're at a pool party...


The above might seem like a repetitive broken record, and it is, it truly is...but it's also good advice, sound advice...


So what else? Meditate...but what truly is meditation? It's not always sitting in easy pose, with hands in a moodra and repeating SatNam or Ooommm...a meditation can be a walk in the park, eyes wide open, observing all that is going on around you without judgment - yes, this too is meditation. Meditation can be taking time for you and reading your book for 15 minutes. Meditation can even be doing the dishes - yup, you read that correctly...pay close attention to the temperature of the water on your hands, how does it feel, watch as the water swirls in the sink, pay attention to the patterns the water forms as it rolls over the plates as you rinse them...yes that's meditation. This too can help with the symptoms of full moon insanity.


Why is all of this self care important under this moon? Because this moon is about accountability! Yup, if you're not taking responsibility for your actions, if you're hoping that what you did last week will be quietly swept under the carpet, think again. Aquarius is a stubborn sign to be sure but one true personality of any Aquarian friend you may have is they HATE injustice and hypocrisy more than anything else...in fact you'll find many Aquarian's in positions that fight to end injustice and hypocrisy. So under this Aquarius Full Super Moon, you are being called up on to ensure your actions are just and fair, and if they aren't, you're being called upon to set the record straight - be honest and take responsibility for that which you've said or done...


That doesn't mean calling up the kid you bullied 37 years ago in high school (unless you're feeling called to do so). But it does mean, that if you're confronted and called out about something, you truly need to be honest about what happened. Be accountable. And keep in mind that not all of this work needs to be done in the physical reality - you can energetically reach out and say you're sorry...


And as this is a Super Moon, it's going to take several days before this energy dissipates so expect to feel a wee tad unsettled until the end of the weekend.


How to celebrate this moon...As with all Full Moon's, tonight is a great night to get out and dance naked under the light...(oh wait, ops, wrong group teehee JK) Seriously, set out a bowl of purified water to bask in the moon light and be charged by the energy of the last super moon of 2022. Do you have crystals that no longer seem to be as effective as they used to be? Perhaps they too need to be charged. But watch, do some research, some crystals don't like moon light and prefer sun light...go with your intuition on which crystals would enjoy a moonlight bath. Also, if there's rain expected in your area, be careful especially with Selenite - it doesn't like to get wet!!!


Tonight is a great night for spell casting - cast spells tonight to remove that which no longer serves you, pick a special pen and some fancy paper, write out what you want to "go away", be intentional and put some emotion into the writing, and when you're ready, burn the paper. If you burn the paper in a fire pit, great. If you don't have access to a fire pit and instead you're burning over a candle in your home, ensure you have a fire proof dish and a bowl of water nearby in case of accidents. Take the ash from the burned intentions and allow the wind to carry the ash away...


In love and light
