★ALL Full Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after ★
The Moon is Full in Aquarius on Friday, July 31st, at 3:43am {pacific time}.
Full Moons are a time of Manifestation, Contemplation, Balance, Realization and Letting Go!
This Full Moon July 2015 in the sign of Aquarius is opposite our Sun in Leo. Aquarian energy influences us with mental brilliance, a sharp & logical mind, a sense of community, an edge of rebelliousness and a bit of eccentricity. Being opposite the moon in Leo we are being asked to find balance between our self needs and the needs of our community, knowing the difference between outshining others and shining together, affection & togetherness vs. independence, between caring too much what others think of us or allowing all of our weirdness to shine through confidently, living from our hearts or living from our heads. Creative genius is to be found if we can forge a relationship between head & heart.
What brilliant ideas need to be expressed into the world?
What gives you a sense of freedom & liberation?
How are you expressing your vision for the future no matter how outside the box others think it is?
How have you grown? Where do you fit in now? Who is your tribe?
“In truth, you are in graduation mode. These events are not always graceful. So please go easy on you. You may feel less than a Self-master. You may feel more like a lost soul. Take comfort, for you are not alone. Many people are experiencing life-changing events.
“Sometimes your growth can feel weird or strange. At other times, change can be exhausting. You are no longer connecting to your past. You have yet to discover your new place or new tribe. Truly, the old way of living no longer works for you. You are in transition.
“You are experiencing new aspects of yourself. You are giving birth to the new you. Giving birth is painful. This is real work. This is real growth. The more you love and value yourself. The more you have to give to other people…”

This Full Moon is considered a BLUE MOON because it is the 2nd Full Moon in the month of July. You have heard the saying, “once in a Blue Moon”, because it is an event that happens rarely.

We have a rare chance to do things differently, to embrace the changes, to live out our screwy ideas in a productive & helpful manner, to shine all of our unusual brilliance into the world for the benefit of all.
There is a strong drive for radical change in our life. Maybe you have had some unexpected surprises and big changes already and are now rebuilding structure and trying to get back to a sense of groundedness. Maybe you are ready to initiate a big change because you are feeling rebellious and stagnant as this energy is prevalent now with Uranus squaring Mars. We want to do things differently especially if things have grown boring, from our perspective, or we are feeling stuck. If we suppress these needs and do not channel this energy properly, finding constructive outlets of expression and change then we will experience disruptions or what feels like disruptions in our life, shaking and stirring things up. There is excitement swirling around and if not channeled properly can turn into extreme nervous energy and impulsive choices.
Changes can feel disruptive, especially when we are not expecting them. Yet, we have the opportunity to really progress now and step out of our comfort zone, exert our independence, embrace our eccentricities and stand up in our community and shine in a way that helps others to shine. When we break free from tradition and the way things have always been done we give courage to others to do the same, to live by their own rules, to build a new way, a new norm.
Break the rules! Then you will see what you are actually capable of creating. ‘Break the Rules more often and you’ll gain a HUGE advantage over those to afraid to risk it.’
“There are no rules here—We’re trying to accomplish something.”
~Thomas Edison
LOVE & VENUS RETROGRADE
Venus, planet of love, is in the sign of Leo and just moved into Virgo, only to begin its retrograde phase and move back towards the sign of Leo. Love is reserved & fussier now. Relationships are more distant and confusing. Love is challenged and with Venus Retrograde & squaring Saturn we are in serious re-evaluation of what we are putting into our relationships and if we are getting what we need out of them. We are forced to look at our relationships realistically and we may feel quite alone as it becomes more difficult to relate. Even strong relationships will be tested. If you have been going about a relationship with your ‘fantasy glasses’ on and living under some illusion of what actually is, you will be sadly awakened by the truth. Try to avoid being too hard on your loved ones and hard on yourself for your strict standards. You can make improvements where they need to be made if you are honest with yourself.
If single, it is not a good time to enter into a new relationship. Take things slowly. Develop a friendship first and, if possible, avoid taking things too far or committing until after Venus goes direct Sept 9th. Reassess what you need and value come mid-September. If you still feel the same by October, move forward then.

HEALTH
YOGA EXERCISE: Standing Foot flex or Extended Hand to Toe Pose. Aquarius is connected to the ankles, shins & calves. Get grounded with this full moon, stretch & strengthen these areas of your body by practicing this pose.
DIRECTIONS: Ground down through your right foot and lift your left foot off the ground, flexing the toes back towards the shin, and finding your balance. Hands rest on the hips. Once you find your balance reach down and clasp your hands under your foot. Drawing your navel in & up, begin to extend your lifted leg forward until it is straight. Think of bringing your belly towards your thigh and if the leg doesn’t want to straighten, don’t force it. Allow the knee to bend until you get the flexibility.
If this is too much, keep your hands on your hips and just practice balancing. Extend your lifted leg straight with toes flexed back to stretch your calf and build strength in standing leg.
BENEFITS: Stretching the calve & ankle and strengthening the ankle & shin muscle
