Aquarius Full Super Moon energy update
What if your purpose were as simple as being a living example to others? What if focusing on your own healing and awakening were enough?
Hey Witches,
I hope you’ve been taking the time for play, creativity, authentic self-expression, and leading from the heart this Leo season.
The New Moon in Leo brought a sense of relief during a chaotic month but was quickly followed by the now-infamous Triple Conjunction of Uranus (the Great Awakener), Mars (the planet of war), and the North Node of the Moon (our collective destiny) in the sign of Taurus (the Earth, our physical bodies, material abundance).
This energy is bringing up a lot of icky stuff on both the personal and collective levels, and we’ll continue to feel its effects until at least the end of August — and probably beyond.
This month brings yet another Super Moon — the fourth in a row this year — this time in the sign of Aquarius.
There’s a lot to cover in this week’s update, so let’s dive in.
Aquarius Full Super Moon energy update
The Aquarius Full Super Moon will fall on the 11th/12th of the month, depending on where you are in the world. Aquarius represents humanitarianism, collectivism, innovation, communication, and technology.
As a fixed air sign, it is cerebral, cool, and detached. The Aquarius Super Moon will help us see with clarity and detachment what needs to go — whether it’s unhealthy habits, toxic relationships, situations that no longer serve you, or even goals that no longer feel in alignment with who you are. It will illuminate the things we need to release that are holding us back.
If things feel a bit intense right now, it’s because they are. It’s easy to despair with everything that’s going on in the world, and perhaps in your own life, too. But if you’ve ever been through your own dark night of the soul, you’ll know that the greatest healing and deepest wisdom come from walking through the darkness and returning to the light.
For those who haven’t yet had this experience, current events are bringing our collective shadows to light for transmutation and healing. This purging energy is awakening people to the truth about our society, ourselves, and the systems and structures of power and control. You may notice people around you being surprisingly open to spiritual concepts and conversations in a way they never used to be.
There’s a struggle at this Aquarius Super Moon between freedom and power. We can see this playing out across the world as the old systems start to crumble, and the old powers that be lash out as they desperately try to hold onto control. It’s the thrashing of the dragon’s tail in the final throes of death, and it may not be pretty, but it’s clearing space for what’s to come next.
Collectively, this Moon could bring about innovations in technology and communication, such as social media. Substack is one such example of a new platform. Many people are now turning to it as a source of independent reporting, feeling disillusioned with the mainstream media. But it also acts like a social network, allowing writers and readers to form communities and have conversations without the interference of the algorithms and echo chambers that characterise other platforms.
The Super Moon is also forming part of a Fixed Grand Cross, a four-pointed aspect with other planets all in fixed signs:
The North Node, Uranus, and Mars in Taurus
The Sun in Leo
The South Node in Scorpio
And the Moon and Saturn in Aquarius
The energy of the fixed signs may give you the strength and tenacity to follow through on a project or stand firm in the face of challenges. The drawback of the fixed signs is that they are not so favorable to change — they tend to be stubborn and set in their ways, so you may feel stuck under this Super Moon.
During this Super Moon, Saturn — who rules systems and structures — will conjunct the Moon, amplifying the feelings of stuckness. At the same time, Uranus — the cosmic disruptor — will form a square with Saturn and the Moon. Where Saturn holds us back, Uranus pushes us forward — whether we’re ready or not.
So you may feel a sense of inertia or push-and-pull. You might feel like you’re in a pressure cooker or riding a bike with the brakes on. Perhaps you feel like something’s got to give. And it has — Aquarius is asking you to let go of old mental habits and ideas.
With the Super Moon amplifying all this cosmic activity, you may also experience “ascension symptoms”, such as:
Headaches
Dizziness
Tiredness
Vivid/memorable dreams
Insomnia
Cravings
Loss of appetite
Intense emotions
Finally, the Aquarius Super Moon will take place during the Lion’s Gate Portal — when the Sun and Sirius, our “spiritual sun”, rise together on the horizon. You may receive clarity and downloads around this lunation — make a note of any aha moments or significant dreams.
Card of the week
Every other week, I pull a card to provide guidance for subscribers of The Coven.
This week I’m using my “Work Your Light” deck by Rebecca Campbell, and the card I’ve pulled for you is “You’re Already Doing it”.
It’s normal to feel uncertain about your path at times. If you’re a subscriber to this newsletter, it’s likely that, on some level, you believe you have a higher purpose. But it’s not always immediately obvious what your purpose is or how you can live it. This can lead to self-doubt and confusion.
The idea of purpose is often conflated with economic gain in our capitalist society. But living your purpose doesn’t necessarily have to be linked to your career or making money (although it can be).
But what if your purpose were as simple as being a living example to others? What if focusing on your own healing and awakening were enough?
You might think it’s selfish to focus on your own healing, but the opposite is true. When you heal yourself, you also heal your bloodline, family, and those around you. When you raise your vibration, just being in your presence can be an energetic tonic to others. And let’s not forget that you cannot pour from an empty cup — when you’re happy, healthy, and fulfilled, you have more to give.
This card shows a woman rising up above the darkness of her past pain, represented by the water at the bottom of the picture. She has overcome many challenges, represented by the mountains, and is now standing facing towards her highest purpose. She has been through so much, and all of the painful lessons have brought her knowledge and wisdom that she’s ready to share with the world.
The woman is you and represents the work you came here to do — and as the card says, you’re already doing it. Focus on your own healing journey and let yourself relax into the guidance of your heart. The next steps on your path will emerge more quickly if you release your need for control.
