You might have heard the phrase ‘once in a blue moon’, and that’s because it is both powerful and rare.
August has been an exceptional, energetic month as we have navigated the Lionsgate Portal, Mercury Retrograde and now we have a spectacular celestial event on the horizon (pardon the pun) the Supermoon.
This August’s Supermoon falling on the 19th is not just any full moon, it is also a Blue Moon, making it a rare and powerful occurrence. August being a powerful month already allows us to work with this blue moon to increase our momentum in terms of personal growth and manifesting. The Blue Moon’s rarity emphasises the releasing of outdated habits and encourages us to make room for new, progressive changes in our lives.
What is a Supermoon and a Blue Moon?
A Supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest approach to earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. A Blue Moon, despite its name, does not turn blue. Instead, it is a term used to describe either the third full moon in a season with four full moons or the second full moon in a calendar month. The August 2024 Blue Moon is a seasonal one, as it is the third full moon of this summer.
This Supermoon in August 2024 falls in the zodiac sign of Aquarius, bringing a unique blend of energies. Aquarius is associated with innovation, individuality, and humanitarianism. The Blue Moon amplifies these qualities, encouraging us to break free from old patterns and embrace new perspectives.
Aquarius energy promotes originality and unconventional thinking. This is a time to embrace your unique qualities and think outside the box. Aquarius is also about community and collective wellbeing. The Supermoon encourages us to consider how our actions impact the larger world.
The Supermoon and Blue Moon bring heightened emotions and intensified energy. You might feel:
- Increased Sensitivity
You may feel more sensitive and emotional, as the moon’s proximity to earth heightens our intuitive and emotional responses. You are safe to lean into these emotions and clear out the clutter.
- Desire for Change
The Aquarius energy pushes for transformation and innovation. You might feel an urgent need to make changes in your life. Back yourself to move forward.
- Focus on Community
There is a strong pull towards community involvement and contributing to the greater good. How are you here to serve?
Working with the Energy: Rituals and Practices
To harness the potent energy of the August 2024 Supermoon, consider engaging in the following rituals and practices:
- Journaling
Write down your thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. The Aquarius energy is ideal for envisioning future goals and innovative ideas. Reflect on what you want to release and what new paths you want to embrace.
- Releasing Ritual
Perform a releasing ritual to let go of old patterns and habits. Write down what you wish to release on a piece of paper and safely burn it, symbolising the release of these energies.
- Community Activities
Engage in activities that benefit your community. Volunteer, participate in group meditations, or join local events that promote collective well-being. This aligns with the humanitarian aspect of Aquarius.
- Crystal Healing
Use crystals like Amethyst, Aquamarine, or Clear Quartz to enhance your connection with the Supermoon’s energy. These stones can aid in clarity, intuition, and emotional balance.
- Visualisation and Manifestation
Aquarius is a visionary sign. Spend time visualising your future goals and dreams. Create a vision board or meditate on what you wish to manifest in your life.
