A Blue Full Moon in Aquarius and the Sun Enters Virgo

 

Save the date of August 22 because it will be a momentous day because of two very special events.  The first is a Blue Full Moon in 29 degrees of Aquarius occurring at 8:02 a.m.  It is called a Blue Moon because it is the second Full Moon in Aquarius this year.  The first one happened on July 23^rd in 1 degree of Aquarius.  The second major event that day is the Sun moving into Virgo at 5:35 p.m.

The Full Moon falls in the critical or anaretic degree of 29.  The themes of an Aquarian Full Moon pertain to truth, freedom and rebellion.  The Moon also conjuncts retrograde Jupiter in 26 degrees of Aquarius, which indicates that there is potential for us to be emotionally generous and come together with like-minded people in a quest for justice. There is no doubt that there will be big emotional reactions to this Full Moon.  Having Jupiter in the mix at this Full Moon could trigger inflation economically.  We also need to keep in mind that there is a three day window for big emotional reactions to play out: the day of the Full Moon, as well as the day before and the day after.

It’s no secret that we currently have a lot of planets retrograde now: Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, Chiron and now Uranus in Taurus.  Uranus stationed retrograde in 14 degrees of Taurus on August 18, when I tweeted:

Uranus stations retrograde in Taurus today as we are forced to review the recent external changes in life and make our own internal changes in attitude. We can implement the changes we want in January 2022. #astrology

Uranus is a major player in this Full Moon.  For starters, it is the ruling planet of Aquarius.  But the fact that it stationed retrograde four days before the Full Moon intensifies its energy.  It is no accident that the news is about an earthquake in Haiti and the upheaval in Afghanistan.  Whenever a planet stations retrograde or direct, its power is magnified for approximately one week before and after the station. Mars in Virgo also trines Uranus in Taurus on the Full Moon, which only adds to the volatility.  I loved what astrologer Penny Thornton said about Uranus in her latest video about this Full Moon: learn to live with uncertainty and manage our circumstances by living in the moment.  We have no other rational choice these days.  Uranus is not very happy in the sign of Taurus, so I suspect that we will continue to experience extreme weather like earthquakes, sudden events and structural changes. And we could see some changes in technology with Uranus as a major factor in this Full Moon.  I hope it doesn’t happen, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some cyberattacks were launched.  Uranus is breaking things down to break through to a new level of freedom and it is definitely not the most comfortable or smoothest ride. When Uranus stationed retrograde, it was exactly squaring my Mars in Aquarius, so I certainly felt its impact.

The Full Moon conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius also contains a positive theme of human rights and justice.  It is also forcing us to reflect on the New Moon in 23 degrees of Aquarius that occurred on February 11, 2021.  Don’t be surprised if events from back then need to be addressed in your personal life.  Mercury in 18 degrees of Virgo is opposing Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces on the Full Moon, so there could be some more news about COVID emerging.  Don’t forget that Full Moons shed light on matters as well as providing culmination.  In the United States they have already announced that a third booster shot is recommended for the COVID vaccine. COVID was raging back in February and this Delta variant has sent us in a downward spiral in terms of controlling the virus.  But another favorable aspect that we have on the Full Moon is Venus in 7 degrees of Libra trining Saturn in 8 degrees of Aquarius.  This is a very positive influence for relationships.  Venus entered its happy place on August 16 and on that day I tweeted:

The big astrological event of the day is Venus moving into Libra its happy place. Relationships should become more harmonious as we are more cooperative and diplomatic. #astrology

The Moon moves into Pisces at 8:43 a.m. on August 22 and then the Sun moves into Virgo at 5:35 p.m.  When the Sun is in Virgo, we will shift our focus to taking care of practical concerns and details.  It’s time to get organized and also to tend to health matters.  I have always thought it was very appropriate and fitting that Virgo is the sign associated with back to school season. The emphasis will shift from air and fire to water and earth.  We are going to be feeling and doing things with this planetary energy. Virgo loves to accomplish and is very task-oriented.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Virgo is a tendency to be judgmental or critical as it strives for perfectionism and we should thrive with this transit of the Sun.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much needed clarity and guidance.  Check out my menu of services at:

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice in order to practice social distancing. I no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. At some point, probably in 2022, I will find a new space to practice. In the meantime, a distant Reiki session is the perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. I have also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my client.  I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. This new Delta strain of the virus is very serious and we need to remain vigilant with our masks, even if we are fully vaccinated.  I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
