Hello Good Humans and Sentient Beings!
The Full Moon occurs on Wednesday August 30, 2023 at 9:35pm in New York, USA. It is the second full moon this August which makes it a Blue Moon. It is also the closest full moon this year to Earth making it a supermoon. It will appear to us as the largest full moon this year. Take a selfie with the full moon behind you! Those close to water should keep in mind : “The supermoon plays a role in the tides and has a stronger influence than other full moons,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist David Samuhel said. This means that areas near the coast experience larger-than-normal tides and a greater risk of coastal flooding around the time of a supermoon. When there’s coastal flooding, there’s emotion flooding too. This is not bad itself but it will heighten the mood you’re in. Keep positive! The full Moon heightens our emotional perceptions and our instincts. The full Moon lasts for the two weeks preceding the new Moon. It is the time to present completed projects to the public and receive feedback. During the full Moon cycle we have to balance home and family with career, what we want with what we need internally and externally. So, let’s use our intuitive instincts to inspire action in our projects and plans. The aspect made is a conjunction to somber Saturn. It’s time to focus on truth, reality and resposibility. Saturn rules the “father” archetype and likes clear boundaries, order and discipline. It is considered to be traditional, conservative and karmatic. However, Saturn is a good dad and likes to reward us when we do our homework and behave within the structure. Saturn will give you a gold star in the form of finance, progress and recognition for work well done. Traditionally this aspect is linked with depression and feeling pressured by authority and tight restrictions. You may feel that life‘s weight upon your shoulders. If you tend to emotionally bend in that direction you will require skills in managing feelings. We must all be accountable for the self-imposed limitations we place upon ourselves that we can sometimes get stuck in. We must all be accountable for what they create and who they affect.
Now let’s lighten this up with a bit of action from retrograde Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. Mercury likes to figure out solutions. Jupiter likes adventure and abundance. Uranus likes freedom and individuality recognized. Mercury will be making a harmonious trine to the midpoint between Jupiter and Uranus with just enough juice to bring liberation, luck and opportunity through physical change or enlightenment. This is a wonderful counter balance to the Saturn/Moon conjunction, the silver lining in a dark cloud. So, here’s your homework. Mercury likes writing and lists. Saturn likes “to do” lists, so we can start there. Make a list of what you are grateful for. Then write out a few boundaries you think you need now. Then write out a few current limitations you’d like to loosen or remove. Remember to include self-limitations. Now write a list of freedoms and possibilities you’d like to manifest. Think in terms of prosperity and abundance. This is followed by writing a few sentences about your intent and action you can take to attract it. Now ask the Universe for help and the confidence to recognize and develop what you are creating.
