First of all, Let’s talk about Blue moons. No, it does not mean it is actually the color blue. It means one of two things. A monthly blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. This one is a more common occurrence. A seasonal blue moon is the third full moon of an astronomical season that has four. The moon that is upon us is a seasonal blue moon. This occurs about every 2.5 years. And it is the second moon this year in Aquarius. The first (our last) was on July 22. I would also like to add, it is when a smurf is born. I bet this one will be super smurfy.
Now, as I always like to mention, just in case someone is a beginner in their practice. I compare working with the moon to plants. Yes, I may be a plant lover. Think of the full moon as harvest and release. The intentions that were set 6 months ago in the Aquarius new moon are ready. At this time we harvest what we want to keep and clear out all the excess.
So in non-planty terms. Sit with ourselves and think of everything we have accomplished and what else has come with it. What do we want to keep? What is no longer serving you? This can be actions, emotions, thoughts, or even people. Then release this. Clear out the clutter within you to create room for whatever is serving your highest good. Full moons are known for their very strong energy. That is why it is a potent time to release, charge crystals, yourself, work spells and make moon water. I am even making an alcoholic drink known as Loki under it. I’ll charge it and in 3 full moons crack it open. So truly whatever you want to charge at this time you can. Except for your phone… It does not work like that.
So now that we understand what a blue moon is and how to work with plants, I mean the moon’s energies…….. Let’s get into the good stuff!!! This full moon aligns with Jupiter. Jupiter is our, “I Grow”. It governs philosophy of life, ethics, where you are cautious, and where you are abundant and lucky in life. It is known as the “Lucky Charm” of the planets. And according to its alignment with the moon, it is definitely going to be a lucky charm for spiritual growth, material things, and more excitingly in the bedroom. Va-va-voom. Thanks, Jupiter!
And I tell you what, This is the first moon that I have researched in a very long time that has nothing but positive aspects. Praise Be!! Sun opposite the moon brings family, intimate relationships, and home life into focus. Any disharmony in relationships will be clearly seen. Trust your intuition. Your knowing. Your gut. It’s your higher self guiding you. I invite you to listen.
Full Moon conjunct Jupiter brings …. I will give you a guess….. Good luck, success, and generosity. Also, possible opportunities for growth may arise. Whether it be spiritual, material, or personal. So even though all of this energy can make us happy; we need to be aware that the sun opposite Jupiter can bring immorality, arrogance, and greed. So, I invite you to use self-control and be thankful for any and all good fortunes. Also share. I am hoping I do not have to elaborate on why you should share your excess with those in need. Be kind. Be human. The world needs that jazz. ESPECIALLY NOW!
OOOOH. So Venus is trine Saturn. Let’s first talk about these two planets. As you may have guessed, Venus is our, “ I Love”. It governs romantic relationships, who you attract, and how you attract them. What you find beautiful and how affectionate you are. Meow! Saturn is our, “I achieve”. This is where our ambitions in life come from. Hard work and getting what you deserve. Also our major life lessons and feelings of inadequacy. It’s about restrictions and limitations, safety and practicality.
This trine is ideal for finding true love and commitment. Now, please don’t go wearing your heart on your sleeve and pour your everything into the first person that pays attention to you. This alignment is not cupid. And I do not want negativity thrown my way because this tells you it’s a time for love. I am just saying, the planetary alignment and energies from it make the situations a little more possible. And you have that lucky planet going too. But, if you strike out……. NOT MY FAULT! Existing relationships should enjoy building a deeper connection.
Relationships old and new can benefit from steady affections and a sensible approach. Mars is trine Uranus. Don’t laugh. This is serious. Mars is, “ I act”. I like to refer to this planet as everything that makes you want to “RAWR!!!” It’s our motivation and aggression. Our confidence, inner drive, and physical strength. Also your stamina, sex drive, and what you desire for and give in a sexual relationship. Like I said, all the Rawrs! Now Uranus is, “I Evolve”. This is where you seek freedom! Where you stand out! What makes you rebel!
Where you do the unexpected and where you find change. (I am not sorry for the exclamation points. This combo gets me excited. RAWR! BE YOU!) Surprise! The energy from this trine brings adventure and excitement. Lowering of inhibitions and Intensely passionate desires make this a very potent time for intense sexual relationships. We may find ourselves more daring. So play it safe and pack protection.
I am loving all of this positive energy we are getting from this. I would like to add that Uranus goes retrograde on the 20th. 2 days before the full moon. It is joining Chiron, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. This shift will add some deep reflective energy to this full moon.
Take a moment to look at how far you have come.
I hope this information helps you understand the thoughts, feelings, and energies you may feel or be feeling. May your practice be blessed, what you release be drawn out so your highest self can grow, and may you charge like the crystals you set out.
Blessed Be
