This full moon’s exposing exactly what’s holding you back
Kerry Sweeney, our resident astrologer, is here to guide you through the energy of this month’s Aquarius Full Moon and what it means for you.
WEDNESDAY 29TH JULY AT 3.35PM, SIX DEGREES
The Aquarius full moon arrives on Wednesday 29th July and, ruled by Uranus, brings unexpected change, freedom and liberation.
WHERE ARE YOU PLAYING SMALL?
Aquarius is the rebel of the zodiac: the freedom seeker, the truth seeker, innovative and unique, calling you out to be you.
This moon’s asking you to look at where you currently feel stuck in your life. Where are you being held back from being your authentic self? What limitations and restrictions do you put on yourself that hold you back from being your true self and going for what you desire?
PLUTO WANTS YOU TO FACE YOUR FEARS
Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth and transformation, is conjunct the moon. This is a powerful and heavy transit, asking you to dig deep and face any patterns that aren’t serving you. Pluto wants you to face your fears, especially around your own identity, so you can transform into your power and step into who you’re here to be.
THE SUN IN LEO IS SHOWING YOU WHERE YOU DON’T SHINE
At a full moon, the Sun always opposes the Moon, and with the Sun in Leo, this will show you where you don’t let yourself shine. Listen to what this is showing you. What’s holding you back? Is it old stories of self-doubt, of not feeling good enough?
JUPITER’S HERE TO HELP YOU SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE
Jupiter, the planet of optimism, good fortune and expansion, is conjunct the sun at this time. Jupiter will help you see the big picture and what you have to offer the world by just being you. Look within yourself and let more of your shine.
DON’T MISS THE LIONSGATE PORTAL ON SATURDAY 8TH AUGUST
Worth noting: another beautiful astrological transit is coming up soon, one that happens every year. The Lionsgate portal peaks on Saturday 8th August, when the Earth, the Sun and Sirius (the spiritual sun) align, bringing a powerful portal of transformation and manifestation.
WHAT ARE YOU LETTING GO OF UNDER THIS FULL MOON?
Here are a few journaling prompts to help guide you through releasing what no longer serves you:
- Where do you feel stuck and held back from being your authentic self?
- What three things do you need to release and let go of under this full moon?
- And how would you be if you were completely free to be yourself, how would life be different?
As part of your full moon ritual, meditate and then write down the three things you’re letting go of on a piece of paper, then burn them away under the full moon.
Happy Aquarius full moon.
