The full moon in Aquarius on the 19th brings a culmination to a conversation that began back in February. Whether you’re launching a newsletter, exiting a friend’s wedding party or adjusting your podcast diet, this week also marks a significant turning point for your schedules and routines. What once caught your attention isn’t catching your attention anymore and that’s OK. You’re also finally feeling more settled at home or in a new job after some tension earlier in the month. It’s funny how speaking up really does clear the air.

This week’s mantra: “Define.”

The full moon in Aquarius on the 19th brings an unexpected shift to your values and personal resources. It’s likely that boons and disappointments are happening simultaneously, i.e., a sweet gift from a friend comes along with a disappointing “No” from a potential client. What’s being revealed now could be a loss that ends up being a win in the long run. You’re also finally feeling less tension when it comes to fitting larger dreams into your everyday schedule. Remember: You are what you do.

This week’s mantra: “Practice.”

The full moon in Aquarius on the 19th is tbh, a little bit of a personal attack for you, Aquarius. Full moons shed light and when all that light is on you? Well, it can be quite painful. If you’re feeling extra sensitive or vulnerable, give yourself space to process, and remember that this is only a moment, not a constant. Also take note of who is really showing up for you now vs. who is nowhere to be found. Your personal values shouldn’t be defined by someone else’s availability.

This week’s mantra: “Light.”

The full moon in Aquarius on the 19th falls in your unconscious sector and you’re probably feeling a bit like you’re on another planet. Remember that promise you made to meditate or spend less time on your phone back in February? How are you doing with that? Now’s the time to shamelessly unplug or go into do not disturb mode. Taking a break from all of your distractions brings a lot of clarity even if it does feel a bit lonely. Also don’t take the support you’re receiving right now for granted. Your real ones are revealing themselves!

This week’s mantra: “Solo.”
