A lot of thinking power, a lot of inspiration, and some unsuspected emotion will be flying off during this full moon. It is a full moon in Aquarius 11 degrees, happening on Monday 3rd, at 4:58pm UK time. Illuminated by the Sun in Leo, there is nothing better or brighter than the full moon of August. In many ways we are certain to anticipate high energy, confidence, pride in going out for what we want for ourselves, but also generosity for others, a sense of joy and authenticity in what we do that comes from the heart. But this time, given what is going on in the world, and the cosmic forces, everyone is approaching this date with caution. Some are convinced about a total and explosive negativity in the relationships the moon is forming in the sky with other planets, the planets between themselves, and its effects on us. Here’s some help in what it means and how to deal with it.

Mercurial influences will be on high alert. It’s all in the mind. Mercury was the only God that would traverse the underworld and fly up in the sky to deliver his messages. During the Aquarius full moon the time is right to go and have those discussions, wherever they may take us. They may not all feel good, but they are necessary, and serve a good purpose. The wind is behind us and we will be productive if we decide to illuminate what needs to be said. For our well-being and for others around us, communication eliminates distance – materially and in every way. There will be noise, quick turn of events and numerous exchanges. We can hold on to Mercury, God of communication and commerce, to keep us rational during what can only be described as a highly charged period. His help with keeping a rational, cool and organising mind, will support us navigate through disparate events and many tasks, other people’s needs and emotions, prioritizing projects and dealing with our desires. It’s a busy time. Sudden and un-improvised reversals are on the way.

Mercury himself is getting a helping hand from The Holy Spirit. Yes. This month is very dry and ethereal. Despite the cold heaviness that comes from planets in Capricorn that will continue to oppose and restrict our most creative dreams and expressions, everything here spells freedom, rebellion, inspiration. Because only love is real and unbounded. There is no beginning and no end to love. It can expand. It can not contract. And so love and truth are our staying power. Mercury energy will tell us how to be logical in our decision making, and practical in taking care of business. The Holy Spirit is backing us to get it right by bringing in the unexpected, once we operate with authenticity. A course of miracles is possible because The Holy Spirit mediates between illusion and truth – that allows us to move beyond the illusion of fear to the light of love and truth. During this full moon we can experience our true self despite obstacles, sadness or difficulties. When these cards appear prepare for the miraculous.
