We are heading towards August 22nd and the second Full Moon in Aquarius of 2021.

You may remember that the first Aquarius Full Moon was at the end of July and acted as a kind of doorway, opening us to this energy.

This second Full Moon in August acts as the doorway closing again.

These two Full Moons are working in harmony, so if you are aware of anything that occurred at the end of July, it could well be that the same situation comes up for completion, or some further details around it are revealed to you with this August Full Moon.

As I say at every Full Moon, this time in the lunar cycle is often about light being shed on the darker corners of our lives.

Full Moons are always about completions, culminations, and endings.

This particular Full Moon in Aquarius could accentuate our yearning for freedom and change and illuminate the path forward to make radical shifts not only in our personal lives but in society as a whole.

Even though Full Moons typically symbolize endings, that is nothing to fear.

Wherever there is an ending, there is also a new beginning. Sometimes what comes up for completion during the Full Moon is really something that has been waiting all this time to transform itself and fulfill its potential to be something else, something far better.

This is very likely at this Full Moon as we also have the Sun finishing its journey in the zodiac sign of Leo, which implies bold, passionate, and creative energies will be strong.

You can harness that creativity and use it to transmute any endings in your life, shaping them into new potentials instead.

I feel this is particularly relevant at the moment with the world moving out of its “old normal” towards an uncertain future.

You may feel that you and others in your circle are longing for a return to the past and the perceived safety and security of the known;

However, this Full Moon energy encourages us to accept change, endings, and to embrace the better possibilities ahead.

It’s a crucial time to be connected to your dreams and to believe in the limitless possibilities of your life.

Remember, Aquarius is the sign of the visionary, the revolutionary, and the inventor.

Its energies sparkle with big ideas, growth, and looking at things from a new and unique perspective.

It’s a perfect time to remember your dreams and align with your goals, making sure that your energy is focused on how you are moving forward.

Jupiter is also making its energies felt during this Full Moon as it is conjunct and retrograde in Aquarius.

Jupiter is the planet of positivity and expansion; its energies are active at this time, which means what we feel and manifest over this period will be strikingly bold.

The best ways to maximize the positive cosmic energy coming at you from this Aquarius Full Moon is to stay in your strength, connect to your courage, and make any moves that your instinct guides you to drive with conviction.

My 3 top tips for harnessing this energy include:

1. Meditation — Even if this just looks like a few moments of peace and quiet at the beginning or end of your day, it’s so healthy to do and important for your entire being.

Slow down and take space to breathe, be still and create a state of tranquility from which you can manifest.

2. Write down any limiting beliefs — Write down on a piece of paper all the things that you feel are holding you back from your best life.

These could be your fears of change, your old habits or things you just can’t seem to let go of no matter how hard you try. This is a time to let go of what holds you back once and for all.

Crumple up or burn this piece of paper (safely!) and feel the energies of those limiting beliefs and habits dissolving from your life.

3. Make a commitment to yourself — By this, I mean, make a firm decision to move forward in your life in a way that serves you physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Whether that is improving your health and fitness levels, getting better sleep, making time for the things that matter to you each day, or starting a whole new phase of your life with positivity.

I want you to use this Aquarius Full Moon energy to realize that you can create your life afresh in every single moment, no matter what.

You can begin again, forging ahead towards your dreams, connected to your inner strength and determination.

This is a time for being decisive and trusting your instincts.

It’s a time for knowing that you are the creator of your life and that which you put your attention towards expands.

Connect with this energy and use it to let go of your past and usher in the new, knowing that you have everything you need to navigate whatever happens in the next chapter of your life.
