The sign of The Water Bearer and Freedom Seeker
A Full Moon is deemed blue not because of color, but due to the rarity of occurrence—hence, the popular statement, “once in a blue moon.” They occur approximately every 2.5 years with the last Blue Moon occurring on August 31, 2012. Based on the 29.5 day orbit of the Moon, Blue Moons occur only when there are two Full Moons in the same month. Yes, two full Moons are occurring this month—July 1 and 31—with the second of the two marking the current Blue Moon.
Aquarius is the celestial sign that bestows the universal cosmic waters onto humankind and our planet. Although Aquarius is an air sign, it is known as “The Water Bearer” and this connection through the healing element of water symbolizes an ability to spread its cosmic gifts of giving and restoring life to humanity.
Among many things, Aquarius is the sign associated with futuristic thinking. Aquarians are humanitarian and philanthropic by nature with an intention to make the world a better place. Uranus—the ruling planet of this Full Moon in Aquarius—is often called the great awakener and harbinger of change.
The theme of change is an important one during this Full Moon because it is occurring just days after Venus, the planet of love, turns retrograde. When Venus is retrograde you will find yourself reassessing matters of the heart as well as the management of your resources. This will be an important time period to become clear about what is working and not working in your life.
The reflective light of this Full Moon can bring clarity to the areas in your life needing change. Therefore, set intentions for the changing winds of Aquarius to blow and for its cosmic waters to flow into your life so you can set sail and proceed on your desired course.
