Double whammies! On Sunday, August 22nd, we have our second (of two) Full Moon in Aquarius…followed a few hours later by the start of Virgo Season!
This will feel like something truly completing for us…and a new door opening moments later. Overall vibes: glorious, content, full, excited.
Full Moon in Aquarius on 8/22 at 8:02AM EST / 5:02AM PST:
Remember anything important you started, or a new direction you began to move in, after February 11th this year? And remember how you may have noticed an important decision or milestone with this same situation about a month ago, on July 23rd…yet it didn’t quite feel “over”?
There’s a reason for that: we had not one, but TWO Full Moons in Aquarius slated for this year. In July, we experienced the first of those. We may have noticed more obstacles or roadblocks to our dreams than fulfillment of them, as that particular Full Moon was closely linked with restrictive and serious Saturn.
THIS one, on the other hand, not only plays nicely with lucky Jupiter, BUT it also occurs at the very tail-end of Aquarius—literally at 29 degrees of the sign! (The signs only span 30 degrees, so after 29, it starts at 0 degrees of the NEXT zodiac sign!)
So basically, the energy we’ve all been feeling for the past few days—which is exact on Sunday at 8:02AM—and that we’ll STILL feel for the first half of this week is our very generous Full Moon cosmic do-over, which is all about expansion and celebration! We will feel like the situation or relationship that’s been brewing since February will FINALLY resolve—likely in our favor, but no matter what happens, it’ll at least be for our highest good.
Here’s where you’ll feel it most:
ARIES - friendships, community, humanitarian efforts
TAURUS - career, professional recognition, long-term goals.
GEMINI - publishing, higher ed, personal growth, lawsuits, international dealings
CANCER - trust, sexuality, shared finances
LEO - relationships, marriage, business partnerships
VIRGO - health, work, routines
LIBRA - love life, dating, creativity, pleasure, fertility
SCORPIO - family, home life, real estate
SAGITTARIUS - communication, relationships with siblings and neighbors
CAPRICORN - earned income, big purchases, values
AQUARIUS - self awareness, image, personal dreams
PISCES - releasing emotional patterns, healing, rest, intuition
If you want to really harness the power of this Full Moon, I highly recommend diffusing this blend of essential oils. This particular one helps accept what big changes you’re making (Pink Pepper) while looking forward to where the next opportunity might come from (Green Mandarin), all while partaking of the Aquarian value of community/tribe/raising the social consciousness (Cedarwood).
AstroOils® Aquarius Full Moon diffuser blend:
💧💧 Green Mandarin
💧💧 Cedarwood
💧💧 Pink Pepper essential oils*
Diffuse through Wednesday or Thursday to easily let go of what’s no longer working, and to feel a renewed zest for life for where you DO want to spend your energy.
Virgo Season Begins, also on 8/22:
The Sun picks up Mercury’s and Mars’s lead on Sunday, when he illuminates the sign of Virgo for the next month! Health, productivity, organization, order, clarity, and earthy sensuality reign for the next month!! Woohoo!
It’s not coincidence that the start of the school year in most parts of the country tends to start when the Sun is touring Virgo. Our inner “good girls” tend to come out. Our senses of responsibility and helpfulness shine. Getting off the stage and back to work tends to be the vibe.
Now is a time to continuing to move forward, one task at a time. Get lost in the satisfaction of giving your best to a relationship or project, even if there’s no “reward” for the foreseeable future.
Oh, and wish me and all my fellow Virgos a “Happy Birthday!”
I strongly recommend using some witchy hacks to make the most of this productive, purifying energy, specifically by diffusing the following essential oils to: promote a healthy mindset and get grounded in your physical body (Eucalyptus and Patchouli), have decisive clarity (Lemon), and let go of perfectionist tendencies and love yourself exactly as you are (Bergamot).
AstroOils® Virgo Season Diffuser Blend:
💧💧 Eucalyptus
💧 Patchouli
💧💧 Lemon
💧💧Bergamot essential oils*
Diffuse anytime from August 22nd 5:35PM EST through September 21st!
