#341 - Weekly Energy Update for August 18, 2024: Aquarius Full Moon & Virgo Season

This week there are a couple of things happening that shift our energy. The first one is the Full moon in Aquarius on Monday, the 19th. This is the sturgeon moon and it’s also a supermoon and blue moon.

There are two kinds of blue moons and neither has anything to do with the actual color of the moon. There is a monthly blue moon which is the second full moon in a calendar month. And then there’s a seasonal blue moon, like this one. A seasonal blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons.

This full moon is in Aquarius. Aquarius is unconventional, innovative, and rebellious. On the full moon, we’re still in Leo season for a few more days. Leo season and this full moon are all about us! We have an opportunity to take a step back and look at our lives from above, from a higher and objective perspective, to see whether we might have been too self-centered. 

When a Full Moon in Aquarius occurs during Mercury retrograde, we reflect deeply on ourselves. We consider whether we are the kind of people we want to be and how our lives have turned out. it's time to let go of the outdated versions of ourselves.  Release the people-pleaser version, the unkind version, or the constantly busy version.

We have this time of introspection and then Virgo season begins on Thursday. Virgo season is a time to embrace productivity and organization. This energy is great for cleaning up messy parts of your life and dialing in your daily routine before fall starts. We are more enthusiastic about everyday tasks right now. 

Mercury rules Virgo and since Mercury is retrograde throughout the first half of Virgo season, we’re reevaluating everything in our lives. Overanalyzing can be a problem for Virgos, particularly when Mercury is retrograde. 

The energy with this Mercury Retrograde has been intense, and this full moon amps it up a little more. The universe may deliver a little tough love with this full moon and we could feel slightly shaken up. Remember that everything is OK. Take extra great care of yourself and enjoy the start of Virgo Season on Thursday.
