Moon Phases August 2021 – Full Moon in Aquarius – August 22nd!
Aquarius is an air zodiac sign known for being independent, unique, and a humanitarian. An Aquarius sign is generally a deep thinker who loves to help people, who can easily adapt to any situation, and who feels generally positive about change. An Aquarius person is always searching for an absolute truth. During this Full Moon, you’ll likely find yourself on your own search for the truth as you gain a slightly different perspective. This Full Moon is a good time to go after what you want and have been thinking about achieving. A Full Moon in Aquarius is the best time to wrap things up and to start to move on to something new.
Moon Phases – August 2021 – An Astrological Blue Moon!
An astrological Blue Moon amplifies the effect that its respective zodiac phase has. The Blue Moon on Aug. 22nd will exaggerate the characteristics of Leo, the fire sign represented by the lion, which can cause you to become more creative, dramatic, and passionate than usual. An astrological Blue Moon also magnifies the energy of whatever sign the Moon is passing through, which, on Aug. 22, 2021, will be Aquarius. Since a Full Moon is symbolic of culmination, completion, and fruition, a Blue Moon in Aquarius will be one impressing your inner worlds with individuality, rebellion, and a concern for the world at large.
The Full Moon in August has Many Names!
The Full Moon in August was known by early Native American tribes as the Sturgeon Moon because the large sturgeon fish of the Great Lakes and other major lakes were more easily caught at this time of year. The Green Corn Moon, the Grain Moon and the Fruit Moon, are also names of the August Full Moon as they are all inspired by various crops that can be harvested in August. The Green Corn Ceremony was typically held in late June or early July, and the Mature Green Corn Ceremony would take place 45 days later, according to Cherokee.org. Europeans called this Full Moon, as the end of Summer approaches, the Barley Moon, for the harvesting and threshing of the barley. This is a good month to focus on your spiritual and physical health. It’s the time to harvest what you can now to put aside for later use.
Full Moon of August 2021 – Also Known as the Fruit Moon!
This Moon is known as the Fruit Moon because this is the time of year when the apples, plums, peaches, grapes and berries are at their ripest and heavy with juice. Just as the fruit turns to it’s most saturated hue so will the sky begin to arrest us with displays of opulent color, signaling the days turning shorter. Even as we enjoy nature’s visual display coupled with a perfectly ripe piece of fruit in the warm summer night, other perfectly ripe fruit is falling onto the ground uneaten and beginning to decay, representing the many stages of life.
A Time to Connect with what Brings You Joy!
During this Full Moon of August, take the advice of Native Americans and connect with what brings you joy and share that with others. Don’t overthink. Just find pleasure in your ability to be you. Your focus will be to balance your mind and body through creativity, through play, and through movement. The Full Moon represents our emotional body and subconscious… the part of us that we typically keep hidden or buried under our social personality. During the time of a Full Moon, all of that comes to the surface, asking to be seen. This is why we feel extra emotional, or as some say, the crazy comes out.
The Energy of August’s Full Moon!
The energy of the Full Moon is heightened at this time, and emotions, feelings, mental processes, dreams etc. are all amplified. When the Sun and Moon oppose each other during a Full Moon, it can cause tension and awkward friction, but at the same time, bring a greater expansion of visions and potential possibilities. This is a compelling time of gratitude, gracefully acknowledging the beauty of life itself, and all you have brought into existence.
A Time for Gaining Perspective!
Once you start looking up and observing the Full Moon, you’ll want to get outside more to get a better view. This is a wonderful time to enjoy the fresh air and gain perspective. Remember how tiny you are—how your small, significant life is connected to all others. Recite the words to that ancient lullaby: “I see the Moon and the Moon sees me, God bless the Moon and God bless me.”
