FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS

SATURDAY 9TH AUGUST, 08:54

The full moon in Aquarius invites a moment of clarity amidst the paradox of personal detachment and collective care. Aquarius, the sign of the visionary, the outsider, the water-bearer, shines a light on the places where we long to belong and the systems we wish to change. This full moon may stir questions around community, purpose, and the balance between freedom and responsibility. Emotions may feel heightened but intellectualised. The heart wants connection, but the mind demands space. It’s a time to witness your role within the larger whole - where you contribute, where you resist, and what kind of future you’re aligning with.

PRACTICE

LISTEN

To help you to ‘drop-in’ to the Yoga Nidra, lie down somewhere comfortable and place a pillow or bolster under your knees. Then cover your eyes with an eye mask or weighted eye pillow and listen to the meditation through headphones.

JOURNAL

Optional reflection prompts, for journaling or quiet contemplation:

  1. What am I ready to release - emotionally, mentally, or energetically - under this full moon?

  2. What insight or inner knowing surfaced during the Yoga Nidra?

  3. What truth or gift wants to surface?

EXPAND YOUR RITUAL

If you have the opportunity to, full moon’s are the perfect time for a long, detoxing bath. This is my favourite recipe to pull out toxins, remineralise, and relax deeply:

  • Epsom salts - for magnesium - for the full moon, I add about 5-6 big handfuls

  • Bentonite clay - to draw out toxins - I sprinkle in what is probably a couple of tablespoons worth (if I am unwell, I will double)

  • Essential oils - up to 6 drops, my favourite is frankincense, otherwise lavender :)

When bathing, I usually take the opportunity to give myself a gentle facial with gua sha and cupping. Using organic olive oil, or my favourite, Mount Sapo oil <3 Then soak myself and drift off for as long as I need (20 mins at the very least!)

Enjoy.
