Blue Moon Blessings! The Full Moon is exact in Aquarius at 5:02 am PDT on August 22nd.
Additionally, the Sun moves into Virgo just hours later at 2:35 pm PDT at 0 degrees and the Sun is Conjunct the Royal Fixed Star of Regulus.
This is the second Aquarius Full Moon in a row, making this an astrological Blue Moon. The first Full Moon in Aquarius was in July at 0 degrees, the Alpha point of initiation, and now this Aquarius Full Moon at 29 degrees, the Omega point of completion (as there are 30 degrees in each zodiac sign).
There is something releasing or completing for you in regards to either your perspective of what Evolution looks like or the releasing of limiting ideas and thoughts that have been stifling your Evolution and Growth.
This 2nd Full Moon in Aquarius amplifies the awakening of our collective needs as a humanity. As Aquarius is only fixed Air sign in the zodiac, devoted to authenticity and stability, this Full Moon illuminates creative solutions and inspired action towards humanitarian endeavors through sacred service, leadership, projects and offerings. The Aquarian Moon offers the Blessings for you to speak your truth and to let go of distortions or archaic imprinting and destructive habits that limit you from manifesting and living your greatest visions and purpose.
As sound travels upon air waves, the Aquarius Air Moon energy can be utilized in your life and leadership to release and manifest through sacred intention, sound and communication. This can further bring forth new relationships and ideas with networking, group movements and collaborations.
The Aquarian Moon energy is intelligent, innovative, revolutionary, open-minded and starry-eyed, and offers the exploration of new ideas and revolutionary thinking to create worlds and paradigms of new possibilities.
The 22nd is deeply connected to the Magdalenes and specifically Mary Magdalene that, amplifies the alchemical lunar energy of simultaneous release and rebirth as the Sun moves into Virgo.
On this Blue Moon, the Sun in Virgo is conjunct the Royal Fixed Star Regulus, the bright star in the Heart of the Lion, Leo. This is the same astrological coding of Mother Mary’s Ascension Assumption day (as I shared about in my last Instagram post) that inspires us to Know Thyself through the power of the heart, the power of Love.
Regulus is associated with the transformational healing energy of Archangel Raphael, who supports both the Gaia and Her children, as we experience this time of the Great Change. As the old is dying, the New Earth is being slowly birthed. Regulus will be transmitting loving and courageous energy, from the Heart of the Lion to All on Earth.
In essence, your sacred values are being illuminated so that you can implement needed changes for the empowerment of your personal destiny and our collective legacy.
Please utilize the energy of this potent celestial energy to offer and direct your prayers and rituals for the benefit of All Sentient Beings.
May we attune to the power of unconditional love within our hearts, feel one another in the sanctuary of the One Heart, and beam our loving intentions to the Hearts of All Beings Everywhere. Blessed Be.
This is also known as the Corn Moon.

Aquarius Full Moon Ritual Suggestions:
Water Bearer Gratitude: List all the things you are grateful for in your life from this year in how you serve and share your gifts (truly acknowledge yourself), place this in the moonlight (outside or window) to attract more experiences to be grateful for. Then, write down all the things you are ready to release and either burn them or offer them to a body of water.
Empress Dance: Put on music you love and offer your heart through dance in devotion to how you wish to serve and express your gifts in the world.
Dream Speak: Pay close attention to your dreams and visions in the full moon. Record them in a journal and speak them out loud. Only by writing them down or speaking them will the sometimes subtle (or not so subtle) meaning and message be revealed to you.
Water Bearer Moon Bathe: Get into the magick of the moonlight and absorb her luminous, activating, soul stirring and healing balm. Look to the moon and speak the visions that you see for yourself and for the planet.
Gem Stone Activation Meditation: Place any of the above gemstones (after they have been charged in the moonlight) or ones you are currently working with, on your brow point/third eye either during the full moon or in the sun light to activate your visionary center of intuition and receive the messages that you are ready for. Breathe fully and deeply as you lie down and relax.
Journal Questions: What is a Queen? How does she serve? How can I embody the Archetype of Empress or Queen in my own life? What is a Water Bearer? How am I that? What am I ready to release so that I can serve, express and live more fully? What gifts am I ready to shine?
Remember: Place an apple and glass of water in the moonlight and have it for a 'Visionary Water Bearer' breakfast the next morning.
Commune: Gather in an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now can be a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective.
Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, day of and day after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magickal time.
Love, Achintya
