🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 Full Moon in Aquarius - from Yasmin Boland's Moonology Diary 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘

One thing to be aware of is that the Full Moon in Aquarius is always a good time to detach a little bit from your emotions. Full Moons tend to be highly emotional, but Aquarius is the most cool and aloof sign of the zodiac. Remember, this is never a criticism. We all have the sign of Aquarius in our chart somewhere.

It’s almost as though you can lightly throw yourself into things at this Full Moon without worrying about being carried away by an emotional tidal wave.

Feel all your feelings, and process them in as pragmatic a way as possible, because Aquarius is nothing if not pragmatic.

It’s also very much a time to chase your dreams, especially, but not only, dreams related to your working life. This is because the Full Moon is taking place as Mars, Saturn, and Neptune align. If you feel like you’re being guided toward your right path by a Higher Power, then you might be right. Release what no longer serves you under the Full Moon and you’ll tap into the Mars/Neptune energies more easily.

If you’re on a spiritual path, then now is the time to be proactive. Be more motivated about meditation, take action toward connecting with your higher self, and be determined when it comes to creating a spiritual practice. If you tune in to the energies of this Full Moon, you’re likely to get good results.

Also note this Full Moon takes place just before the current Mercury retrograde cycle ends on August 11. Clarity may be closer than you think.

TODAY IS THE DAY! THE PORTAL IS OPEN!
Every year on the 8th day of the 8th month of the year (August 8th), there is a cosmic alignment called “the Lions Gateway”. The Lions Gate is a time of increased cosmic energy flowing between the physical and spiritual realms.

It's called the Lions Gate, or Lions Gateway because it occurs in the astrological sign of Leo (the Lion). Leo as a Zodiac Sign is associated with the heart center and represents the individualized expression of the Divine.

This gateway is marked by an alignment between the Earth, the star Sirius and the Galactic Center.

The star Sirius lines up directly with the pyramids of Giza, and from our perspective on Earth it appears that Sirius (the brightest star we can see) comes closer to the Earth.

When this alignment happens, there is an intense surge of light which awakens DNA, activates the human energy field, and transmits high vibrational frequencies and codes of awakening.

Light codes of ascension, mastery, and evolution from Sirius pour towards Earth as well, aligning yet another level of activation and opportunity for progression on the ascension path.

The Lions gateway creates an incredible period of accelerated ascension… This year, it's supercharged…!

Time to take a step back and reflect…
17/07/2025

Time to take a step back and reflect…

Mercury retrograde begins on July 17, but the energy has already been building. For the past few weeks, we have been in the shadow phase, which means many people have already started to feel the effects.

Maybe you have felt more emotional than usual, more reactive, or more unsure about how others feel. You may have noticed old feelings coming up without a clear reason. This is part of how Mercury retrograde begins to shift your awareness.

The energy becomes more personal and more reflective as it prepares to enter what is known as “the storm period.” This is the most intense stage at the beginning of the retrograde cycle, when things can feel overwhelming or confusing, especially around communication, emotions, and relationships.

With Mercury retrograde happening in Leo, the focus turns to how you express yourself and how it feels to be truly seen. Leo is ruled by the Sun, so there is a strong connection to identity, self-expression, pride, and the need to be recognized for who you really are.

During this time, you may begin to notice where you have held back, where you have felt misunderstood, or where you have struggled to speak your truth. These patterns may show up in small ways, like hesitating before responding to a message, or in bigger moments, like replaying a conversation from the past that still carries emotional weight.

Old connections may come back into view, and you could receive a message from someone you used to be close with, or you might think about reaching out to someone you have not spoken to in a long time. There may be unfinished conversations that start to resurface. Words you meant to say but held back, feelings that were never fully expressed, or misunderstandings that were left unresolved could all return now, giving you the chance to look at them with new awareness and more clarity.

You may feel drawn to creative projects or personal ideas that once felt too vulnerable or too uncertain to share. If you once abandoned something important to you, this period may encourage you to pick it back up and finish it with more confidence. You are being reminded that your voice matters, and that what you want to express still holds value. This retrograde helps you return to the things you once believed in, even if you stepped away from them for a while.

In your relationships, you may start to see patterns more clearly and begin to understand where you overgave, stayed quiet to keep the peace, or said what you thought others wanted to hear instead of what you truly felt. If someone reappears from your past, notice how your heart responds. You may feel excitement, discomfort, curiosity, or even sadness. All of these emotions are valid. Mercury retrograde in Leo brings these moments forward so you can feel them fully and decide how to move forward from a place of honesty.

Some conversations may feel harder than usual and you may find it difficult to say what you mean, or feel misunderstood even when you try your best to explain. Instead of rushing to fix the situation, give yourself time to pause and reflect. You do not have to respond immediately. Sometimes the clearest insight comes after you have taken a step back to listen more closely to your own feelings. This is a time when communication asks for more patience, presence, and awareness of how your words affect others and yourself.

You may also notice more frustration in daily life. Delays in messages, canceled plans, or unexpected shifts in your schedule can bring up feelings of irritation or disappointment. You might send a message and receive no reply, or find yourself stuck in traffic when you are trying to meet someone important. These disruptions are common during Mercury retrograde, but they also serve a deeper purpose. They help you slow down, reflect more deeply, and notice what truly matters in the moment.

This period invites you to examine where you have been looking for external approval. If you have been chasing validation from people who never fully saw you, or if you have held yourself back because someone once made you feel small, Mercury retrograde helps you shift that pattern. You do not need permission to speak, to express, or to share what you know in your heart. Your worth is not based on others’ opinions. It comes from how honestly you show up, how clearly you communicate, and how bravely you stay true to yourself.

Over the next few weeks, you may feel waves of emotion that seem to appear out of nowhere. You might cry after a small comment, feel nervous before speaking your mind, or remember a time when your voice was ignored. These emotional reactions are helping you understand what still needs healing and point to places in your life where your truth was silenced or softened to make others more comfortable. Now you have the chance to reclaim that space with compassion and strength.

This retrograde also encourages you to notice how others respond to your vulnerability. The people who meet you with respect and care are showing you what safe connection feels like. The people who ignore, interrupt, or dismiss your truth are revealing where your energy is no longer needed. These realizations help you set boundaries and choose your relationships more intentionally.

As Mercury moves through this cycle, it brings you back to your voice and helps you remember what you wanted to say before doubt or fear got in the way. It gives you the space to slow down, rewrite what needs clarity, and speak again from a place that feels real.

This is your time to reconnect with your voice, to revise the way you express your truth, and to remember the words you once held back when fear or hesitation took over. Speak with care, speak with heart, and speak as if your voice can shape what happens next, because it carries more power than you realize.

What you choose to say now can open doors, create healing, and bring you closer to the life you are ready to live. Everything that follows will reflect the truth you now choose to share.

Full Buck Moon Blessings to you 🌕🦌
Tonight is a great time to pause, reflect, release things that no longer serve you, focus on things you do want in your life, time to self care and cleanse. Be kind to yourselves…💜✨😘

The Full Moon in Capricorn arrives as a powerful and grounded turning point, offering a chance to reflect on the past six months and step fully into the future you are ready to build.

Since the Capricorn New Moon on December 30th, 2024, you have been shaping your reality through your choices, your healing, and the energy you have shown up with each day. This Full Moon invites you to pause, take a clear look at what has grown, and ask yourself what no longer belongs in the vision you hold for your life.

In order to manifest clearly and powerfully, there must be space. Space is created by releasing the energy, emotions, and attachments that no longer reflect who you are or what you are working to create. If something has felt heavy, confusing, or stuck, this is the moment to clear it.

You may be carrying emotional weight from past betrayal, from relationships that have already ended, stories that have already played out, or patterns that no longer reflect your truth. These things may take up space in your mind and heart, slowing your progress and clouding your focus. This Full Moon asks you to gently and intentionally let those things go.

Capricorn energy values trust and loyalty that are built slowly through consistency and action, and when that trust is broken, it can feel difficult to move forward without answers or repair. However, Capricorn also understands that holding onto the weight of old pain will only block the foundation you are trying to build now.

Forgiveness, in this energy, becomes less about the other person and more about freeing your own heart so you can rise without carrying what no longer supports your peace, growth, or clarity.

Choosing to release the past does not require a conversation, apology, or perfect ending. It begins with a calm decision to stop replaying painful memories, stop holding onto confusion, and stop tying your energy to something that no longer feels aligned.

When you make that choice, even silently, something inside you begins to shift. You may notice your thoughts becoming clearer, your emotions feeling more steady, and your vision for the future opening in a way it could not before.

This kind of emotional clearing creates space for the things you truly want to enter—deeper love, stronger connections, meaningful goals, and peace that stays. You do not need to revisit every detail or explain yourself to anyone. You have the power to move forward today, knowing that your healing is valid, your growth is real, and your future is still open and full of possibility.

When you choose to focus on what you want to create instead of what you wish had been different, you begin to take your power back in the most honest and grounded way.

Forgiveness is a part of this process, but forgiveness does not require you to reach out to anyone. This is something you can do within yourself. You do not need to reopen old conversations or invite old energy back into your space. Forgiveness can be an internal shift, a quiet decision to no longer carry the weight of what happened or what never happened. It is an energetic release, a moment of choosing peace over resentment, clarity over confusion, and forward movement over emotional repetition.

This Full Moon offers the perfect atmosphere to reflect, release, and realign. You may feel called to ask yourself what you need to fully let go of, what you want the rest of the year to feel like, and what kind of emotional and physical space you need to create in order to support that vision.

You may feel certain names, memories, or emotions come forward. That is often a sign that something is ready to be acknowledged and released. You might begin to see those experiences through a new lens and realize that the pain helped you grow, that the silence gave you clarity, or that the effort you gave was never wasted because it showed you what you value. What once felt like loss may now feel like the beginning of freedom.

To support this clearing process, here is a simple yet powerful Full Moon ritual:

Find a quiet space where your body feels relaxed and your mind can begin to slow down. Light a candle, play soft music if you like, and sit with a piece of paper. Take a few deep breaths and write down three specific things you are ready to release. These may include a relationship that no longer feels equal, a habit that keeps holding you back, or a thought pattern that always leads to self-doubt. Choose what feels most ready to leave your energy field.

Once you finish writing, fold the paper and hold it gently in both hands. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and bring your focus to your heart. Speak clearly and calmly: “I release this energy from my body, my mind, and my spirit. I choose peace. I forgive myself. I forgive what no longer belongs in my future. I create space for what supports the person I am becoming.” Say it with meaning and feel it as if the weight is already lifting.

When you feel ready, burn the paper in a safe fireproof container. If burning is unavailable, you can tear it into small pieces and bury them in the earth or throw them away with awareness. As you do, imagine that old energy lifting from your body like smoke or light. You may wish to follow with a gentle shower, bath, or cleansing of your space using water, herbs, or sound to help your body integrate the release.

After the release, sit with a new sheet of paper and create a second list. Write down what you now want to welcome into your life before the end of the year. Be clear and specific. This could be a stable and loving relationship, financial support, creative flow, emotional peace, or recognition for something you have worked hard to build. Speak this list out loud, slowly and with belief. Keep it somewhere you can see often—on your mirror, in your journal, or beside your bed—and return to it regularly. Each time you read it aloud, bring intention and take small steps toward what you have named.

This Full Moon offers deep support for emotional clearing and powerful manifestation. The choices you make now carry the potential to shift your direction, bring ease where there was struggle, and call in exactly what aligns with your highest path.

Everything you release creates space for something meaningful to arrive. This is a moment of return, reward, and conscious creation, allow it to guide you forward.
