The Moon Of Understanding & Change / Aquarius Full Moon.

The Full Moon of Understanding and Change

Aquarius Full Moon, August 3.

Welcome once again to my virtual corner, without any more unnecessary introductions, I'm Elhoim Leafar, and this is my post about the full moon.

This coming Monday, August 3, 2020, the full moon is marked in the sky in the sign of Aquarius, the sign of creativity and eccentricity. With the Sun in Leo (your consciousness in the sign of individuality) and the full moon in Aquarius (your inner self in the sign of eccentricity), we begin to feel more creative than ever, we are addressed by the desire to express ourselves as really we are, and we seek to show the world our true essence without masks and without filters.

Just as the sun represents your outer self, the way you show yourself to the world, and the way the world is shaping and influencing you, the moon represents your most receptive, most intuitive, and most vulnerable part.

The full moon is a sacred moment of fullness, maturity, and completion.

On the outside we have the Sun in Leo, which tells you "show yourself for who you are and for what you are, just as you are", inside, we have the Moon in Aquarius, which tells you "let everything that others think and believe slide down who know about you and about you. " Both stars are inviting you to be aware of yourself, about who you are, about what you have to offer the world, and about highlighting what sets you apart from the rest.

Leo, is the sign of the sacred lion, represents the legendary Greek monster with the figure of a huge lion with invulnerable skin. The lion was practically indestructible, until Heracles, the strongest of all men managed to kill him using his intelligence since then Heracles went on to dress in the lion's skin, not only as a trophy but as an emblem of his strength, skill and intelligence superior.

Aquarius is the sign of the water carrier, the male lover of Zeus who fills the cups of the gods on Olympus, the prince who ascended to heaven to become the cupbearer of the gods. It is the sign of ascension, fullness, maturity, of sacrifice for a greater good.

If you analyze it, it is a time to shine for yourself, for who you are, for what you do, and for what you offer that makes you different. Aquarius has always been associated with eccentricity, rebellion, ingenuity, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

This is a moon full of creativity and personal entrepreneurship. Social and humanitarian aid, creativity, originality, freedom, and independence are topics for dealing with the moon in Aquarius. Also with the full moon in Aquarius, we must be attentive to certain behaviors, indifference, affective coldness, intolerance, and contradictory attitudes, which are issues to happen commonly with this moon.

On the subject of business, it is always good to do a little memory, I like to remind you that the moon in the aquarium (especially the full moon) drives corporate changes that are made for the benefit of employees, it is also the moon that pushes those projects related to telecommunications, internet, technology, social networks, and computers.

“It is common for witches and other members of the magical community to take this time to celebrate the glory of the moon and drawdown lunar abundance into themselves”.

Michael Herkes - The Complete Book Of Moon Spells.

Uranus moon

This is the time to study and show who you really are. How do you see yourself, how does this reflect your being, or if this image that you think you are, is an image conditioned to please others? Are you showing your own image, or are you showing the world, a reflection of what they want to see?

What makes you different from the rest and why do you try to hide it or disguise it?

Aquarius has always highlighted eccentricity, personal expression, individuality. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, and it is to remember that Uranus (heaven, your goals, what you are looking for) is located in Taurus (overcoming obstacles, your own strength.)

Uranus is currently located in the sign of Taurus (I go for what I want at all costs), so it is quite normal that during the next few days you begin to feel that desire to eat the world. Taurus is the strength, the decision, the will to do things, and the bull planted his feet firmly on the ground before attacking.

The strategic position of Uranus in Taurus is inviting you to read the terrain in which you are, to seek to create from reason, from ingenuity, and decidedly go for it, whatever the cost.

Closing cycles

I like to repeat this because it is quite important, and I repeat it month by month with each new moon: "Each new moon opens a period of manifestation of six months, a period to manifest what you want with the moon."

This full moon in Aquarius closes that period of manifestation that started six months ago with the new moon in Aquarius. Time to sit down with paper and pencil, and write down in full detail, where you were six months ago, and doing what? looking for? manifesting what? Believing what ?, And realize where you are now, what you are doing, how you are behaving, how you are feeling.

Remember that this new moon in Aquarius six months ago had everything to do with technology, innovation, humanitarian issues, mental health, inner transformation, and our ability to adapt.

Most importantly, manifest.

It is time to see everything that you have manifested in these six months, what you are manifesting in these moments and everything that you are reflecting in the world, about yourself, or about that idea that you have about who you think you are.

This full moon on Monday, August 3, is to carry out those actions that seek change, innovation, entrepreneurship, creation, and elevation of what is new and different.

This is a moon of the air element, it is a moon-related to the wind, with its ethereal messages, with constant change, with knowing when to move forward and when to slow down a bit. Look at you, look at where you are, look at where you were six months ago, and focus on visualizing, where you want to be in the next six months.

“The power of the witch was said to be at her greatest during this moon. The moon’s gifts of empowerment literally pour down through the moonbeams to be soaked

into the lining of your skin and the depths of your spirit.”

Simple Ritual of Manifestation with the Full Moon

The full moon carries with it such power that witches have always repeated "this moon can turn men into beasts, and vice versa."

You need:

two silver or white candles

flower incense

myrrh or bergamot oil

a glass with water

paper and pencil

nine bay leaves

a heat resistant dish

sea salt or coarse salt (lots of salt)

The Moment

Between Sunday (before the full moon) and Mars in the morning.

The Emotion

Clear your mind before the ritual, visualize thoughts that are focused on celebration, joy, and fulfillment (the full moon), as well as entrepreneurship, creativity, and individuality (moon in the Aquarius).

The Ritual

Using the salt, make a circle in your ritual space, a space prepared for meditation, your altar, or simply an ordered space on the table, to mark the sacred space of your energy, and separate it from the rest.

Light a wand or cone of floral incense, place, and light both candles inside the circle, the glass with water right in the center of it. Write on the paper your wishes for manifestation, everything you are looking to manifest in the coming months, and on the other side of the paper, write down everything for which you are grateful at the moment.

Moisten the paper with a few drops of the myrrh or sandalwood oil, roll the paper into parchment and hold it for a moment between both hands. Now close your eyes for a minute, take a deep breath, do not let anything distract you, visualize in your mind everything you want to manifest, visualize in detail everything you are looking to achieve in the coming months, visualize that it is already in your hands and be part of you.

Once you are finished with the visualization, move the parchment in circles through the smoke of the incense, proceed to burn the parchment with the flames of the candles, and let it burn in the saucer, burn the bay leaves with the fire of the candles also.

Burning laurel is an old trick to consolidate a desire, as well as to attract prosperity, material wealth, and protection.

Close your eyes again and thank the full moon and your personal deity for the wishes granted (both for those wishes of the past and for the new ones).

Let the parchment burn completely and let the candles burn out as well. Save the remains of the ritual (salt, candles, incense ash) by wrapping all this in a piece of cloth or paper, and then throw it in a corner or at a crossroads.
