Hello and welcome.
Today we're going to talk about the full moon in Aquarius.
And I have to say I feel like it's been forever since I've been here recording a track.
Because I was on vacation for an amazing week.
And I think my brain is still on vacation mode.
It's taken me a while to kind of get back into the swing of things.
But the full moon is just a great opportunity to do that.
So I pulled out Yasmin Bowen's moonology.
Love,
Love using her moonology diary.
And she writes.
.
.
The moon wafts over the planet of clearing and healing Pluto just before it reaches peak full moon time this month.
It's a last brush of lunar magic over the lord of the underworld.
A last sprinkling of detachment magic dust.
That all sounds very mysterious to me.
But of course,
As we know,
That full moon can be quite mysterious.
She says if you've been emotionally entangled with anyone or anything lately,
Use this moon to set yourself free.
Wow.
Big statement right there.
This full moon comes at the end of what's likely been a super tumultuous month for many,
With so much extreme astrology happening in just a few days.
If your life feels very different today than it felt a month ago,
That's not surprising.
And yeah,
I have to say I've made some really big changes and had a very interesting month.
Vacation was amazing.
Couple of things kind of threw me off course,
But we'll get into that later.
So she says,
Use this full moon just to breathe.
And just reading that sentence made me take a breath and it felt so good.
So it says if you're going through a tumultuous time,
Emotionally get centered.
I have been working on that for a couple of weeks now.
She says that doesn't mean pretending you're fine if you're not.
It means taking a moment to sit with your emotions.
Feel them going through your body and acknowledge,
I am where I am and it's okay.
All right,
Again,
I'm going to get back to that one because I needed that a couple of weeks ago.
Even though this full moon is a turning point after the extreme and rare July astrology,
It's also just a milestone.
Before you know it,
We'll be into the second and final eclipse season of the year.
So use it to release whatever has gone down and just The fact that this full moon is taking place in the sign of Aquarius aids and abets this process of trying to calm down before the next storm blows in.
Okay,
Speaking of storms,
There's a major thunderstorm happening right now.
And you might occasionally hear some thunder in the background.
I was going to wait until that stopped,
But then I thought,
Hey,
It's real life.
Let's go with it.
She writes that Aquarius is the sign of detachment.
It's a full moon,
Yes,
And they always stir things up emotionally,
But the cool Aquarius energy is the full moon energy most likely to allow us to create some distance as we process and release.
So do your forgiveness work and let go.
All right,
I love that my friends.
Here are some amazing full moon journal prompts.
The first one,
And my favorite,
What unexpected challenges did I face this month and how did I navigate them?
I have a lot to say on this one.
When we come back from journaling,
I will share with you.
The second prompt,
What transformations occurred within me or around me and what lessons did they bring?
Again,
This question speaks to my heart.
And the third one,
How can I embrace the detached energy of Aquarius to move forward with fresh perspectives?
Friends,
These are three amazing questions and three wonderful questions.
So let's put some time on the clock,
Let's do some journaling,
And let's listen to Bossom Violet's beautiful piano music while we do that.
Oh,
And there's a little rumble of thunder for you.
All right,
Friends,
Let's do some journaling.
All right,
My friends,
I hope you got some great things written in your journal and I hope that you will share some of them with me because I would love to hear what you've been going through.
I can share for myself personally,
The day before I was going on vacation with the family,
My brand new car died.
The battery died.
The car's okay.
And I was in a little bit of a panic because I had a lot of things I needed to do.
So I tried to get help from the roadside assistance that comes with new cars and they could not recognize my bin so that didn't work.
It was a lot of back and forth,
A lot of frustration.
We got the car jump started on our own,
Brought it back to the dealer who assured us they would give us a loaner so we could continue on our vacation.
They did give us a loaner.
It turned out to be a very dirty loaner.
That was a whole other issue.
Won't even get into that.
Went on vacation with the family,
My two grandbabies.
It was an amazing,
Beautiful week.
There were some tense moments there.
The four-year-old,
My grandson.
Who I adore.
Was kind of in rare form.
He's four and he's challenging his boundaries.
And,
You know,
That was bothering my husband a lot.
So there was a lot of adjustment.
During vacation.
But it was still a beautiful vacation.
And I guess the challenge that I faced this month and how I navigated them was I asked for help.
I decided to stop being the one that tries to fix everything and I reached out and I asked for help,
I asked for cooperation,
And I got a lot of that,
Which was amazing.
In particular,
My InsightTimer community was wonderful because when I was going through Some frustrations with the car.
On my way home,
It turned out they had forgotten to fix it.
And I couldn't pick it up when I thought I was going to.
And I was a little frustrated.
I've had the car three weeks,
Made two car payments.
You know,
It was not a happy camper.
I thought,
Violet,
Get it together.
You teach people to be centered and you encourage them to stay grounded.
And you need to do the same.
So I reached out to my friends.
I asked for help.
I said,
Help me bring back my piece,
And they did.
One of the greatest comments that I got was from Tom Evans,
Fellow teacher here.
He said to me,
This is a story with a happy ending that hasn't happened yet.
And I thought,
You know what?
100% correct.
And it changed my mood,
It really did.
So what transformations occurred within me,
Around me,
What lessons did they bring?
I learned to ask for help.
We can't do it alone.
We can't always be in a great mood.
You know,
I do my best to remain positive and focus on the good,
But it was one thing after the next and I found myself starting to spiral.
And I thought,
What would I tell someone else to do?
Ask for help.
Rely on other people.
You know,
Let somebody else encourage you.
That's what I did.
And that's what happened.
And that last question,
How can I embrace the detached energy of Aquarius to move forward with fresh perspectives?
I'm not sweating the small stuff.
And I used to say I don't sweat the small stuff,
But apparently I was.
I was letting things get to me.
I was letting people's moods and vibrations affect And I decided I was not going to do that.
I was going to turn things around.
I was going to keep myself grounded.
And friends,
I did it.
And I was successful.
And I'm going to keep doing that.
So I would love to hear what you've been going through,
What you have done to navigate any tough times you've encountered.
And as always,
Let's meet back here in a couple of weeks.
Let's talk about that new moon next time.
And for now,
I hope that this full moon brings you some amazing energy.
Those crystals out there,
Get them charged,
And keep shining like the beautiful,
Bright diamond that you are.
