Lunar Lammas: Aquarius Super Full Moon 2023

Aquarius Super Full “Friendship Moon” @ 9 degrees ~ August 1, 2023, at 11:32 AM PDT/2:32 PM EDT

The Aquarius Super Full Moon is known as the “Friendship Moon”. This Full Moon brings the power of the cross-quarter sacred holiday known as Lughnashdah or Lammas. Lammas is a harvest celebration and the sacred Sabbat of the First Fruits. This is the time of year when the abundance of future harvest is predicted based on the fruits growing on the vine. With the presence of the Full Moon, this is the time of Lunar Lammas or an emotional harvest of what has been growing since the Aquarius New Moon.

This week your Cancer New Moon intentions from July 17, 2023, plus your Aquarius New Moon intentions from January 21, 2023, are coming to fruition. The power of the Year of the Rabbit can now be tapped into. The Cancer New Moon invited you to empower your intuition and build a big manifestation by the end of the year (see the power of the Wedge made with Pluto and Uranus).

Since January 21, 2023, the Aquarius lunar experience has taken you from 1 to 9 degrees in your natal chart. This is calculated by the Aquarius New Moon and the Aquarius Full Moon. The Moon has moved through the first decan to embody the fullness of Aquarius.

Saint Venus to the REscue!

Venus Retrograde is sitting at the apex of a “Finger of God” alignment coming from the energies of Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn and Neptune Retrograde in Pisces. This retrograde forcefield is returning a gift to your Heart chakra from the Queen of Heaven. Two Yods form an unstable synergy in the material world unless you lift the vibration up into unconditional love. Venus wants to ignite your Higher Heart on a Pentecostal fire. Focus on the universal truth that all life is cyclical. Within this cycle is the promise of renewal and the joy that hope brings for a better and brighter tomorrow.

Pluto and Neptune support Venus’ spiritual gifts for you by empowering your psychic intuitive abilities. Practice balancing the seen (logical reasoning) with the unseen (intuition) by honoring your inner feelings. Make your every day extraordinary by realizing the spiritual gifts that are woven into your daily life experiences.

The stability point is found at 26 degrees Aquarius. This degree incorporates the classical beauty of Libra. To align with this degree, behold beauty in your life. Whether the beauty emanates from art, music, or poetry of your own making or others, when you merge with how it makes you feel, you raise your frequency. Connect with beauty throughout this lunation.

The Full Moon’s power is most strongly experienced in a community that supports you.

Aquarius Tarot Lesson: The Star and The Fool

The Star and The Fool are the Major Arcana in the Tarot that represent the energy of Aquarius and its ruler, Uranus. The Star Card is the energy of healing through adopting a higher consciousness of awareness. Through contemplation and dreaming, you can attune your mind and heart to a higher frequency of the Divine. The Star card signals it’s time to uplift your consciousness to heal and evolve.

The Fool Card is the card representing the beginning of the Soul’s journey through the Major Arcana of the Tarot. It is the first card showing the Soul just starting out on his Hero’s Journey. A new beginning abounds! To start anew requires a renewed sense of innocence to be completely free to start again. If you bring your old consciousness with you on a new journey, you may be susceptible to repeating old patterns. Set your sails to be more carefree and renewed as you journey through 2023 with the heart of The Fool!

FULL MOON SABIAN SYMBOL: 9 degrees Aquarius

“A popularity that proves ephemeral”

Both applause and censure are temporary; soul qualities are enduring.

The Aquarius Super Full Moon shines an emotional light on realizing that something needs to change in order for you to be at your best in the future. Look to your friendships to see who hasn’t really supported you in the ways you need. Conversely, look to see if you could be a better support to friends, as well. Look deeply in your own mirror under the Super Full Moon to see what needs to shift to improve your character.

The Leo Sun and the Earth complement this lunar journey by opening up a wellspring of joy when you make it through difficult times or see less-than-flattering characteristics about yourself. Your light will shine brighter when you have the courage to look at darkened, old ways of being. Dust those old ways off and polish your way of being so that more of your Soul light can be seen out into the world.

Get ready for the next New Moon in Leo on August 16, 2023!
