August 8, 2025. A cloudy-yet-bright, calm evening.
Summer is sort of a paradox when it takes its turn each year; it has a funny way of having many slow days that all pass by rather quickly. Here we are at the midsummer point, a delectable day in August, and just one day away from a full moon, too!
I read that this Full Moon in Aquarius is a time to release whatever you might be holding onto that's keeping you from expressing your true, authentic self. When you give yourself permission to be yourself openly and confidently, you create space for the right people, opportunities, connections, etc. to find you more easily. That isn't to say, don't put in the work. Keep showing up, getting out of the house, reaching out, journaling, pivoting and redefining what matters to you and what your goals are. If you enjoy journaling, I like this question for some midsummer reflection:
"In what ways does my life feel and look different when I only commit to what resonates with my happiness and purpose?"
On this full moon, take a moment to slow down and reflect. If you're experiencing some turbulence in life, and things feel impossible, know that it will pass and you have an opportunity right now to to release the bullshit (for lack of a better word). You can and will receive absolutely wonderful things from the world. Open yourself up to it, get clear on how you want to feel and know that if it's possible for anyone to have those things, that means it's possible for you, too.
Embrace every quirk of yours, even the ones that others have made fun of. When you own something and know yourself so fully, what can someone else's story/words about you do? (*Vito Corleone Voice*) Nothinnnnn, that's what! The most beautiful people in the room are always the ones who have an open heart. The ones who are kind without expecting something in return, and actively choose to not hold onto hate and judgement in their hearts. All those negative views and thoughts towards others is just a reflection of how we feel and see ourselves. Release all the tension, the external pressure to be some certain way, all the self-doubt, the fear, etc. It's a lifelong process but each little step you take does wonders.
And during this full moon, don't give your energy away to anyone who has been putting you down or trying to convince you that you're anything less than a total and complete blessing on this earth. Adorn yourself in favourite full moon jewelry (my current is the LaLune Mermaid Necklace with the pearl symbolizing a full moon), make yourself a delicious cup of tea and just be.
