August 16-22, 2021
How was your week last week? Were you feeling more energised and creative? Did you start taking inspired action on making your intentions manifest in your life?
For me, I used the Virgo Moon to really look at my daily routine and habits, so that I could incorporate more movement. I used to do yoga 3-4 times a week at a studio, and when I moved, and didn’t find a studio near me right away, and then had a totally new routine with my son going to school...well, then my yoga practice went by the wayside.
I made it one of my New Moon intention to start doing yoga again, and this last week I got up an hour earlier every day to get onto my mat, and it has been amazing! I was sick of making excuses, and by harnessing the Waxing Moon and the daily Virgo Moon, I was able to see how I could fit this thing in and then take action to get started.
Let me know how you are going with your wishes and intentions!
Now, let’s get started with this week’s report!
Lunar Energy and Mood Report for Week Commencing August 16, 2021
Things will be building up and the energy intensifying this week as we move closer to Sunday’s Full Moon, which is also a Blue Moon in Aquarius. This is what we call it when there is a second Full Moon in a season- this is a fairly rare event that only happens every couple of years. It’s also the second Full Moon in a row in the sign of Aquarius. I’d love for you to join in the online Moon Circle on Sunday night where we I will guide us through a meditation, share more about the Aquarius Full Moon astrology, share some journaling prompts to do together and to then do a release ritual together.
Moon Phase Energy
This week starts with the Moon in it’s First Quarter phase, which is when the Moon appears as a half Moon in the sky. The Moon only stays in the First (and Third Quarter) phase for one day. This means that for most of this week the Moon will be Waxing Gibbous.
The First Quarter on Monday might feel a little challenging. It’s a time when our doubts, fears, limiting beliefs and insecurities can start to bubble to the surface, especially when it comes to how we are feeling about our goals and intentions. If you haven’t yet made any strides in these, you might start to doubt yourself. Luckily, the energy of this phase gives us the momentum to keep moving forward, so take a positive approach and keep moving forward. Just be mindful about being over-ambitious.
What to do for the First Quarter phase
🌓 If you haven’t yet, now is the time to take inspired action. If you want to manifest love, then tell someone how much you love them; if you want to call in more money, then donate to a cause that inspires you, for example.
🌓 Take practical steps and be positive despite any challenges
🌓 Communicate any new thoughts and write down new ideas for your projects or work so that you stop and think about how achievable it might be
First Quarter Theme: Action
Affirmation: I take bold and positive action to support my intentions
Reflection questions:
What creative expression can clear obstacles that are coming up? What joyful actions can I take to make my intentions a reality? How can I improve my approach and step out of my comfort zone?
From Tuesday until Sunday, the Moon will be Waxing Gibbous, continuing to grow in size until she is full. This is such a high-energy phase when we can pursue our intentions with gusto and focus, and to make any adjustments needed to keep things moving forward. Things might feel a bit intense emotionally as this feeling of expansion matches the growing Moon. You might find it helpful to make adjustments to things you are working on so you can maintain your focus.
What to do for the Waxing Gibbous phase
🌔 Be focused on following through on things and pay attention to the details
🌔 Assess and re-evaluate your progress as you build momentum. In your journal, note down how you are feeling about your intention.
🌔 Be clear with your boundaries and delegate if necessary, so that you don’t get overwhelmed by trying to do it all
Waxing Gibbous Theme: Improve
Affirmation: I trust in adapting and refining my intentions so they are in alignment
Reflection questions:
What is working well right now? What adjustments do I need to make to keep momentum on my intentions? What doesn’t feel in alignment anymore?
Moon Sign Moods
Monday August 16th
The First Quarter Moon will move into the sign of optimistic and adventurous Sagittarius at 1:11pm (AEST). When the Moon is in philosophical Sagittarius it is a good time to get together with like-minded people for intellectual conversations, and to also get out into nature and do something active.
Lunar Self-Care
🌙 Plan out your next holiday or adventure, or go on a mini-adventure in your own neighbourhood by taking a different route to school/work or exploring somewhere new that you haven’t been before
🌙 If you can spend some rec time on the beach, in the mountains or doing something sporty outside, this will help with any restless feelings the Sag Moon might bring
🌙 Explore the values of truth and freedom in your own life and how you can experience more of these
Journaling question:
What makes you feel the mot free and how can you bring more of this into your life?
Essential oil:
Rosemary: this is the oil of knowledge and can help in supporting your intellect and being open to new information (and new experiences). Apply a few drops onto the back of your neck, forehead and behind the ears, or diffuse or inhale.
Void Moon Wednesday August 18th: 11:42am to 3:57pm (AEST)
Do menial tasks, focus on nourishing self-care and avoid making big decisions
Wednesday August 18th- Friday August 20th
The Waxing Gibbous Moon will be in disciplined and responsible Capricorn. With the Moon here it’s the perfect time to evaluate the structures in your life and how well they are supporting you. What feels stagnant that could be cleared? This is the Moon for focussing on your work or business, making some strong foundations for the future, and to make focused and practical plans.
Lunar Self-Care
🌙 With just a few days until the Full Moon, commit to your intentions and go as by harnessing the tenacious Capricorn vibe
🌙 Enjoy some simple outdoor activities to honour the earthy Capricorn energy
🌙 Take some time to practice nourishing self-care so you don’t over-work yourself- why not read a book for pleasure while soaking in the tub!
Journaling question:
How am I being reserved or withdrawn and in what ways can I connect more deeply to my emotions?
Essential oil:
Ginger: this is the oil of empowerment that can support you in being present and committed in your life. Diffuse, inhale or apply over your stomach region to help you to feel empowered and responsible in what you choose in life.
Void Moon on Friday August 20th from 9:59am – 6:48pm (AEST)
Do menial tasks, focus on nourishing self-care and avoid making big decisions
Saturday August 21st
The Waxing Gibbous Moon will be in the humanitarian and visionary sign of Aquarius. This is a very social Moon, where you might feel the need more than ever for freedom and independence.
Lunar Self Care:
🌙 Get social and spend time in deep conversation with like-minded friends
🌙 Your inner rebel/rule breaker spirit could benefit from doing something that is a bit quirky and off-beat and step out of your comfort zone in some way
🌙 Take a social-media break for the weekend and disconnect with the online world as much as you can and so something fun and creative instead
🌙 Do something in or for your local community or speak out about a cause that you believe in
Journaling question:
How would it feel and what would it entail to have a good balance of structure and support and freedom and individual expression?
Essential oil:
Lime- this oil is very uplifting and can help with encouraging a balance between the heart and the mind and instills hope and joy. Diffuse or apply over the chest.
Sunday August 22
Today is the Full Moon in Aquarius which will be exact at 10:01pm. Sunday also marks the start to Virgo Season (my personal favourite!) time of the astrological year.
This is the second Full Moon in a row in the sign of Aquarius, which makes it a Blue Moon (something that only happens every few years). Make note that the Moon goes void almost immediately following the time that the Moon is full. This does occasionally happen, and it just means that you should either do your release work before 10:01 pm, or wait until the Moon is in the sign of Pisces at 10:42pm because things that happen in Void Moons tend not to go ahead or come to completion.
With this being the second chance to release using the Aquarius Moon energy, you don’t want to keep holding on to something that you really do need to let go of! Revisit your last Full Moon releasing list and see what you might still need to relinquish!
Make sure you also acknowledge what has gone well since the last Full Moon, and also in the last 6 months since the Aquarius New Moon. The spotlight will be on the things you need to keep focusing on, as well as the things that are no longer working that you should let go of.
Full Moons are usually quite intense in their build-up. I find that I have quite restless sleep the days before a Full Moon and our emotions can feel quite heightened.
🌕 Honour this expansive energy by celebrating!
🌕 It’s a good time to move your body with high-intensity exercise, or through dance.
🌕 The Full Moon is always a good time to connect and get social with friends, even more so when it’s in Aquarius.
Full Moon Theme:
Harvest
Affirmation:
I release ideas and beliefs that no longer serve me so that I can be unstoppable
Reflection questions:
What can I release that is no longer serving me? What am I grateful to have received? What resources do I need to assist in my intentions manifesting full as I envision?
I’d love for you to connect in circle with me and the other Moon Members on Sunday night! I will share with you more about the energies of this Aquarius Full Moon, will guide you through a meditation, provide you some journaling prompts and we will do a releasing ritual together. I will also pull a tarot card for everyone who attends.
