This full Moon is unique because it’s a seasonal blue moon and the second consecutive full Moon in Aquarius. These points of difference alone should make you sit up and take notice! Think of this cosmic double-up as the Universe’s attempt to get your undivided attention.

Aquarius stands for freedom. Freedom of thought, freedom of movement and freedom of choice. So, it’s no surprise that these are the hot topics discussed in the media and around our dinner tables.

Lockdowns have impacted the world at large, and I’m hopeful that this final Aquarian full Moon marks the beginning of the end of these types of severe restrictions. But before that happens, we’re likely to see the subject of freedom and its limitations peak. Expect this hot spot to occur before the next full Moon in Pisces, when we will be manifesting our own versions of a utopian world.

Have you experienced a significant loss of personal freedom and liberties? Aquarius plays a role in your intellect and cerebral processes, so if the answer is "yes", this is likely to have impacted your mental health. This is a topic that I’ll discuss in greater detail during next month’s full Moon in sensitive Pisces. But for now, my numero uno tip to support your mental health while La Luna is full in Aquarius is:

VIBE WITH YOUR TRIBE

Aquarius governs friendships, so keeping company with high vibing people is crucial to your mental health. Surround yourself with friends that accept you for who you are. You shouldn’t have to pour your precious energy into proving your worth, beliefs, or values to anyone else. Squabbling amongst your inner circle is not only a waste of time; it’s also a massive detour from your true North.

Hang out with your like-minded soul sisters with the purpose of uplifting and inspiring each other.

Thanks to this full Moon in Aquarius, you have the freedom to choose your besties - make your choices count towards a more peaceful, supported and fearless YOU!
