Full Moon Flow: Letting Go So We Can Glow (Aquarius Edition)

.

🌕By Reiki Ra-Ess

When the Full Moon rises in Aquarius, it doesn’t just light the sky—it illuminates the soul. This moon energy is electric, deep, and full of truths we’ve been trying to dance around. It’s a spotlight on the ways we detach to survive, how we mask vulnerability with intellect, and how badly we still need safe spaces to feel it all.

This week, I felt it heavy.
I played Slow Wine by Tony, Toni, Tone and heard the voice of the late Dwayne Wiggins, and the first 15 seconds hit like a wave I wasn’t expecting. I don’t usually talk much about celebrity deaths—if I’m honest, I don’t even grieve my own family members out loud like that. But the tone of that song… whew. It felt like a ritual all by itself.

That’s the Full Moon in Aquarius for you. It’ll pull grief from the corners of your spirit and whisper, “Let it out, sis. You don’t have to carry this forever.”

🌌 What This Moon Is About:

  • Aquarius energy = liberation, disruption, sacred detachment
  • This moon says: “Let go of what no longer fits who you’re becoming—even if it once made sense.”

🌕 Planets Aligning with the Aquarius Full Moon

🔥 Mars Opposite Saturn (Retrograde)

There’s a powerful tension in the sky: Mars (spark, urgency) is in exact opposition to Saturn (restriction, authority), and Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius. This creates a pressure cooker of frustration—but also a moment to reclaim your power through discipline and awareness. This axis challenges us to take only the actions that align with long-term integrity, not impulsive reactions.

💫 Saturn & Neptune Retrograde Conjunction

Saturn and Neptune are retrograde and conjunct—shrouded in dreamlike confusion yet longing for clarity. They’re sextile Uranus and Pluto (also retrograde), forming a Grand Air Trine and a rare Kite shape. Together, these energies call us to embody visionary ideas while staying grounded—even when the vision feels abstract.

🌌 Uranus & Pluto in Grand Trine

With Uranus (Aquarius modern co-ruler) and Pluto both retrograde and forming a trine, there’s cosmic support for internal transformation and creative breakthroughs on a structural and soul level.

🌟 Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer (Post-Full Moon Bonus)

Just a few days after the Full Moon, Venus aligns with Jupiter in Cancer—bringing a wave of love, abundance, and positive growth to emotional and domestic spaces. It acts like a balancing breath after the intensity.

🕊️ Mercury Goes Direct in Leo

With Mercury stationing direct around August 11, communication improves, but during the Full Moon Mercury is still wrapped up in retrograde haze. Rough edges may still lurk—so breathe before responding.

Ask yourself:

What truths have been bubbling up in my spirit that I’ve been afraid to speak?

What outdated roles, beliefs, or masks am I ready to shed?

🌠 What Each Sign May Feel

  • Aquarius: Emotional clarity, pressure to break unwritten rules in community or self‑identity.
  • Pisces: A call to carry emotional burdens for others; make space to reclaim your own energy.
  • Signs ruled by fixed energy (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio): Long-standing momentum shifting; expect deep reflection or release.

✨ Practical Guidance for This Moon

  • Feel the tension, don’t fight it. Mars–Saturn opposition pushes us to respect our boundaries while still pushing forward. Align action with wisdom.
  • Sit with the dream or confusion. Saturn–Neptune encourages meditative space so insights can surface (even if they come in waves).
  • Be patient with breakthrough. Even Uranus and Pluto trines need time—structure the chaos with reflection.
  • Celebrate the small win on the back end. Venus–Jupiter brings sweet release after the heaviness—nurture yourself.

💧Channeling This Energy into Your Ritual

  • Use the Sei He Ki Reiki symbol during emotional release and note layering energies.
  • Journal the Mars–Saturn tension: “Where am I pushing too hard? Where am I holding back too much?”
  • Sit with candle and crystal under the Full Moon and ask: “What old pattern wants freedom? What emerging truth wants expression?”

✨ Mini Full Moon Ritual

  1. Light a white, silver, or indigo candle.
  2. Write down what you’re releasing—relationships, responsibilities, resentments.
  3. Place your hands over your Solar Plexus and Crown Chakra.
  4. Breathe deeply and say: “I release what no longer aligns with my highest good. I honor my truth and welcome transformation.”
  5. Burn or bury the list safely as an offering to your own rebirth.

📓 Journal Prompt:

“Where have I been pretending I don’t feel, just to keep the peace?
What truth is waiting for me to say it out loud and set it free?”

💫 Closing Thoughts:

This Full Moon isn’t here to expose you—it’s here to free you.
Let the tears fall. Let the memories visit. Let the healing begin.
Your glow-up is already happening.

🕊 RIP to Dwayne Wiggins. That first 15 seconds unlocked something sacred.
