Full Moon in Aquarius - August 22, 2021

Now that you know better, are you ready to do better?

Today marks the second Aquarius full moon in a row - the energy that has so clearly marked the beginning and end of Leo season. Much of what I've been picking up on during this time centers around the theme of balance.

Balance between the heart and mind. Balance between self and others. Balance between "opposing" sides.

We are being asked to strike a critical balance between extremes, between opposite ends of the pendulum that we typically swing between.

Are you ready to embody the changes that have rapidly moved through you? Are you ready to stop jumping back and forth between approaches that no longer serve you? Are you ready to stand firm on your own unique foundation?

This is the opportunity we are being gifted. This is the opportunity that has been presented to all of us in different ways, in accordance with our lessons, our perspective, our circumstances.

Today may we all ask ourselves: How can I come into more complete balance within my authentic self?

At the tail end of Leo season and the beginning of Virgo season, we have learned many lessons that are being brought into full integration and Earthly form. Whatever has been brought to the light during Leo season will solidify as the sun moves through Virgo over the next month's time.

No matter what you've taken away from recent experiences, now the decision lies in your hands: how do you want to move forward with this new knowledge? How will you apply it?

The lens matters greatly in how we internalize the experience. Are you looking through the lens of the victim ("Why does this always happen to ME?"), or are you looking through the lens of the powerful, sovereign being you are?

Whatever your choice, this will have ripple effects throughout the rest of the year and beyond. Only when we truly take ownership over our experience do we begin to see clearly and come to deeper understanding of all that has happened, and all that continues to unfold in front of us.

On life's stage, within this great, wide open space - what do you choose?

We can choose to close off, to become bitter, to sit in anger and distrust of the world. Or we can choose to open. To lean into the fear and the discomfort. To be our authentic selves, to beam brightly into the depth in the universe, to speak from the heart and lead from the heart and never give in to the pressure to be anything other than who we are at the core.

What we choose, we continually create. What we create shapes our entire experience and worldview, which ripples out to create larger and larger change in the universe.

Anything we want to create, we must first embody.

In this realm of endless possibilities, what you create and embody is up to you.
