The full moon on 1 August 2023 in Aquarius, a visionary and innovative air sign, lights up the skies, inspiring us to seek truth, embrace our individuality, and celebrate the beauty of the collective. This full moon invites us to examine our role within our community and to find balance between our unique selves and the collective.
During this full moon, we may experience a surge of creative energy, a desire to connect with like-minded souls, and a willingness to champion social causes close to our hearts, which is a beautiful energy to be in.

Because remember, the best thing you can do for the collective is heal yourself and let your light shine brightly.
