Tonight’s (August 19) full moon in Aquarius will be a special one. It’s referred to as a super blue moon because it’s the third of the summer season, and is linked to “spirituality and awakening”, according to Moon Sisters Paris founder Alexandra Fryda Marty. “It’s a moon conducive to awareness,” she says.
Yoga, meditation, and astrology expert Nour Pellé adds: “Blue moons are rare, occurring every two and a half years or so. So, this is a moon we’ll be paying particular attention to.”
Astrologers from Moon Omens explain how the energies of the super blue moon might affect us.
Question your place in the community
“The Aquarius full moon highlights our relationship with groups, communities, and the human collective as a whole, and encourages us to call upon our creativity to serve others, add value to our community, or address relevant collective issues. The presence of Venus and Mars in square to each other brings relational themes to the table, and offers us the opportunity to reflect on how our relationships—and how we show up in relationships—needs to change in order for us to mature and grow. At this time, we have the opportunity to recognize and address the inner conflicts and insecurities that prevent us from valuing ourselves, fully engaging in what we value, taking action to achieve our goals, and taking responsibility for ourselves and our desires.”
Reflect on your relationship with tech
“This event also draws our attention to our relationship with technology, the internet, and social media, and the impact this has on our quality of life and the quality of our relationships with ourselves and with others. One of the themes of the next 20 years will be the complete transformation of the relationship between humans and technology. This is an opportunity to get rid of habits that don’t serve us and be clear about how we want to relate to others, technology, and the internet.”
Accepting radical changes
“The blue full moon in Aquarius brings a dynamic, almost electric energy into our lives, motivating us to revolutionize our reality, free ourselves from stagnation and make long-overdue changes. The activation of Uranus increases the possibility of experiencing realizations through shocking and unexpected events, ruptures, and the sudden loss of something that represents stability and security. Open-mindedness, flexibility, and trust in life are necessary at this time, as our plans could change radically and unexpectedly, then be altered again as Mercury is in retrograde. It’s essential to strengthen our ability to accept unpredictability and uncertainty. Despite the discomfort that often arises during periods of transition—or when change is forced rather than chosen—many of us will be able to connect with a new sense of freedom and power. At this time, we will have the opportunity to see ourselves and our lives in a new light, and many of us will be able to access a new level of consciousness and awaken the dormant potential within.”
