Practical Magic Prep: Full Moon in Aquarius

Won't do no Good to Hold no Séance

This Full Moon in Aquarius is inviting you to break free and rebel openly against anything that is holding you back. Old habits, old thoughts, old paradigms … it’s time to revolutionize your thoughts and habits. What’s gone is gone – leave it in the past, cut ties, move forward. It’s a powerful call to wind down the ties that need cutting and make it so over the next few weeks leading up to the New Moon happening on August 22nd. In order for great to happen, good enough needs to get out of the way. Clear the space. Make the way.

What's Gone is Gone, and You Can't Bring it Back Around

This Full Moon aligns with the winding down of Mercury retrograde (in Leo) which will be going stationary on the 9/10 and direct again by the 12th. This is a lingering opportunity to reassess. Sometimes we stay in our ruts because they’re known. Sometimes we choose our cages over freedom because they’re comfortable. There’s a saying, “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” The sign of rebellion, original thinking and authenticity is extending its energy to support you (also the sign of community) in making your way out of good enough and into the life of your dreams. Chrysocolla is a wonderful crystal to aid you on this journey if you’re feeling a need for courage and help.

And All I Want Is to Save You, Honey, Or the Strength to Walk Away

There is also the currently open Lion’s Gate Portal which extends from July 28 through August 10, but culminated on August 8 (8/8), when the Sun, Sirius (the brightest star in our sky), Orion, and our Earth completely align with each other. This is always a powerful cycle in the year for amplification of dreams, hopes and intention. Make the most of this portal by aligning what you need to let go of in order to move in the direction of your dreams.
