Aquarius Full Moon Guide for Courage and Change | Astrology and Energy Update | Magical Michelle Orwick

Something big is moving through July, and you can feel it in your body before you can explain it with words. We’re standing in the Lionsgate portal with an Aquarius full moon overhead, Leo season fire in the air, and a rare convergence of timing that begs for one thing: honesty about what you truly want and the courage to act on it. If you’ve sensed a calling you pushed aside years ago, this conversation helps you name it, protect it, and take a first real step. 

We talk about the North Node shifting into Aquarius and what it means for collective consciousness, community, and “needs over wants,” while the South Node in Leo highlights the work of releasing ego, control, and the inner saboteur. We also look ahead to eclipse season and why this stretch can feel like either a magic carpet ride of synchronicity or a forced slowdown that makes you review your direction. Along the way, we ground the spiritual language in practical self-care: breathe, hydrate, cleanse your space, watch your words, and set clean intentions that match your values. 

A standout moment is Jupiter Kazimi, described as a peak expansion point and the luckiest day of the year, landing right alongside the full moon. We share simple ways to work with this energy through meditation, journaling, gratitude, and candle magic, plus a steady reframe for any sudden change: if a door closes, another one is opening.

Opening July Energies And Lionsgate

SPEAKER_00 0:32

The whole month of July. You know, it's it's been one powerful thing after another. We've been talking about this for years and we're in it now. And so I'm magical, Michelle. This is a magical week. It is a magical Tuesday instead of a Monday when I'm recording this. I'm uh filming this in my beautiful friend's home in Minerva, Ohio. Um, I've been traveling as as I love to do, and there is an energy going on that I just want to share with you. We are now entered into the Lionsgate portal. We have the star Cirrus lining up with the Earth through the you know central sun channel. We have a full moon in Aquarius, and we've moved into Leo season. So we're in the Great Lion Raw, and we are also having this powerful shift, a big shift, like a long-term shift into Aquarius.

North Node Aquarius And Ego Work

SPEAKER_00 1:47

So the north node, that's our like where the course of our collective consciousness is going, has just over the weekend moved into Aquarius. And then to kind of bring that into a bigger picture, we have the full moon. And so the moon right now is in Aquarius, and Aquarian themes has to do with the betterment of the people, the betterment of the collective. So the north node is also going to start the energy of the of the 18 months of eclipses for the north node in Aquarius and the South Node in Leo. So that means we're going to have themes of overcoming ego as well. And so we're looking at letting go of big egos controlling everything and moving into this place where the courage to do what's right, and we're going to see a lot of people finding themselves. They're going to be kind of coming around. There's been a lot of time where we feel like maybe we've we've been taken off track. Um, this is this is gonna have a lot of people really coming back to finding who they were, maybe even someone they thought they wanted to be when they were younger, much, much younger, a child or a teenager or 20s, and maybe something was was they needed to make a living or they needed to go off in another direction. And now there's like, okay, I really have this calling. So there's like a desire inside of us that's wanting to come through right now. So if there's something interior to you that is a true heart's desire, the north node in Aquarius is saying to go for it, and the south node in Leo is asking you to overcome and have the courage to go for it. We're really going to be tapping in for the next 18 months into themes of courage, overcoming the negative ego, and I call that the saboteur, and going into how are we gonna lead with love? How are we going to be a sovereignty in our bodies, in our mind? How are we going to hold the collective as the dream we have for humanity? And so we're gonna do that. You're gonna see, I I think you're gonna see my prediction is that you're gonna see um some very interesting election um information this year where we're bringing power back to the people and we're we're really getting into our conscious, um, being conscious, being kind, and we're gonna start at a micro level. How can you be more conscious? How can you be more kind? And the first thing you need to be kind to is yourself. How are you taking care of yourself? The the theme of extreme self-care is gonna be um on target right now, and now that we have these nodes move, and I think this is going to be perhaps um a very powerful and important 18 months.

Eclipse Season Dates And Clarity

SPEAKER_00 5:39

Um, we're we're going into an eclipse season. The next major moon transition is a solar eclipse on the 12th of August, and that'll be a solar eclipse, new moon solar eclipse in Leo. And so we're going to see the beginning of that eclipse cycle, which will then go for like two years. We're we're seeing the end of the Piscean, which will have a Pisces lunar eclipse at the next full moon. So this full moon starts that eclipse energy. So this is our last little clear full moon. Mercury has gone out of retrograde, so we have the clarity where even though Saturn has gone retrograde, it's an outer planet. So we've had that beautiful um basket energy, and we're still kind of at the it's it's moving away from it a little bit, but we're still in this being held by the energy of these outer planets. We've got Jupiter, one of the most powerful, fabulous planets.

Broadcast Reset Jupiter Kazimi

SPEAKER_00 6:49

Okay, this is the live broadcast part two for Living Magically. So if you're listening to this, we'll probably put the two of them together in the podcast, but I do apologize. Um sometimes if I'm traveling, I'm doing this on my phone, and a phone call just disrupted the disrupted this the broadcast. But I was talking about the Jupiter Casimi, which Jupiter, this is the planet of expansion, loves to be in Leo, absolutely loves it. And so this is a good year. 12 uh every 12 months we have a Jupiter in Leo, and it's just exalted there. And then you have the Casimi, which we get once a year it for Jupiter in its sign, that it's in, but being that this is Jupiter in Leo, this is super powerful, and it is considered by astrologers to be the um is to be the luckiest day of the year. Wow, the fact that it falls on this Aquarius full moon just is so amazing. So this is the opportunity for you to just really tap into your expansion, to tap into this next phase. It's we've now opened the lion's gate, we've now opened the energy of this basket into this more benevolent time frame. So we're looking at what are we doing now, what are we doing going forward for this consciousness, for ourself and for the planets, this powerful full moon, and it really is powerful. And I I know we have a lot of good transits, but to have the luckiest day of the moon, luckiest day of the year, be a full moon. So we have a Jupiter Kazimi and the full moon on the same day. We still have this basket energy sort of holding us. We've now opened the lion's gate. So this is before the eclipses, like we we have this full moon, and then we start eclipse season.

Intentions Meditation And Candle Magic

SPEAKER_00 9:13

So this is that moment for clarity, truth, deep intention work. So I'm recording this on Tuesday. If you have the opportunity, Tuesday night's a very powerful time to do your work because this would be a great time to put put intentions out there, to um meditate, journal. If you're a candle person, a good time to do some candle magic. Candle magic's great in Leo season. It's a fire horse year, so we're talking candles, so igniting. So I will do certainly some some candle work for this particular uh moon for for real clear intention. So we're we're manifesting through the gratitude, we're connecting to our true north node in Aquarius, our desire. We're looking for what is our soul's true desire right now, and and we can also be looking for our needs to be met. The Aquarian energy does want our actual needs to be met, not our wants, not our our but our needs, like our and that includes our soul needs, our soul's desire. And so when we are in that energy, it allows us to tap into maybe a greater purpose, the bigger purpose that remembering what we came here to do, I think you're gonna see a lot of us really like honing in. Like I started channeling this week. Um, I you might see it in my feed. I actually woke up from a dead sleep and just channeled something, and I I'm I'm realizing that that channel wants to come through. So you so you're gonna see spiritual people becoming more spiritual, you're gonna see people who are nurturers become more nurturing, you're gonna see um kind of getting out of the crud. Um when I see so much happening on the earth plane.

Planetary Surges And New World Ignition

SPEAKER_00 11:31

We've got fires, we've got floods, we've got heat, we've got um, we've got natural disasters, we have the Schumann resonance, the heartbeat of the planet doing massive um energy surges, we've got the sun doing massive geomagnetic storms and um solar flares. We are at the moment of ignition, my friends. The Leo season is igniting the new world, the Aries energy that we started with, with all those planets in Aries, still a lot of planets in Aries, now a lot of planets in Leo. Then we have this beautiful Aquarian energy, which is saying we can have our dreams come true, we can on a personal level connect to our true heart's desire, and we can on a collective level make things a better place.

Resistance Magic Carpet And Course Corrections

SPEAKER_00 12:35

And I'm seeing one of two people, those who are excited about what's going on and tapping in, and then the others who maybe and maybe you fall into this category where you've been resisting what you know you need to do, this is the point where if you can get past that resistance, it will get better. But if you've been like you know what you need to do and you've been kind of not doing that, there might be some dissonance happening for you. So if you're not having the easiest time right now, if the synchronicity isn't working for you, my invitation to you is to like tap into moving through the gate. That's what the Lion's Gate's gonna do for us. So so it'll work for both sides. The Lion's Gate is an opportunity. This every time we have an eclipse season, especially in something so dramatic is this particular astrology that we're going through right now. The eclipse season is an opportunity to make change. So if you're on the right track, let's think of it like you're on a magic carpet ride. And so this eclipse season will, if you're already going in the direction you want with your stuff, you should see synchronicities and magic and clarity and just things working out for you. You're lucky, you're and and it's not um, it's not negative, it's really positive. But if you are feeling resistance and there's been some dissonance and there's something that needs to change, you might see this magic carpet dump you on your butt to make a review and be like, you're gonna walk. Don't go in the wrong direction. Because what it will do right now for you is make sure you are at least going in the wrong direction, even if it takes you off the path you were on before and just kind of puts you in slow motion so you can review. So you might be in review or you might be on like a fast track. Either one, there's this portal happening, and this 88 portal, um it's starting now, it's starting with this full moon. So I encourage you if you want to be held in this space, you want to work on your manifestations, you want to work on your clarity, your truth, your direction, you want to want to do this very intentionally.

Living Magically Group And Activations

SPEAKER_00 15:10

Um, I do have the Living Magical group, and we have we we do this every month. We are getting clear on our identities, our um path, our desires, and we get really clear on it. We do that as a group. Um, I lead these activations three to four times a month. And I I am committed right now with this particular energy to be doing it four times in August so that we're we're hitting all these major astrological dates. We're starting uh tonight. We have a call. If you're watching this on Tuesday, you could join in time for this um this big full moon. We're gonna do the full moon tonight, and then it also peaks tomorrow at 10 a.m. So you could even watch the recording, and this is going to allow you to really be intentional with this full moon 10:30 a.m. tomorrow morning, and that is just two hours after after that Jupiter Casini. So you could join the Living Magical um group and be with us tonight as we do this gate opening, this energy connection, this intention setting together, and and I will be doing some channeling of this um Sophia energy through the goddess council. So if you're wanting to do that, come come join us tonight. I am going to be doing an 8-8 activation. So if you just want to be there for the Lionsgate together with us right before that solar eclipse, the 8-8 is just days before the Leo solar eclipse. So super powerful. You could just do a buy now for that 8 8. And then, of course, if you just want to be supported in this energy and you don't want a long-term membership, you could just we have an offer for you called the offering, which is just a short-term buy now two-month um process through the gates of transformation, which is what I am calling this particular portal. So I consider whether you're with me um on these calls or not, I consider this day. It's this is Tuesday, the 28th, the true opening of this portal of transformation. And this portal is about eight weeks long. You're gonna see this moving all the way through the autumn equinox, and it's really, really massive change. Every time we change nodes, every time we change the north and south nodes, and we change which signs the eclipse is being hit, um, eclipses are gonna be hit. You're closing out the Pisces Virgo uh eclipse series and Pisces being the north node shifting into Aquarius. So you're gonna see your emotions shifting. Everyone's gonna do this. This is a collective change. All of these big planets that are changing this year, and we have seen everything change within the last 12 months, every single planet. That'll be the only time it happens in our lifetime. Now we see the Aquarian energy be our north node for a while, and then we have the last of the Pisces eclipses and the first Leo eclipse. That's all happening this month. It's huge.

Self Care Mindset And Listener Prompts

SPEAKER_00 18:53

And so take care of yourself, breathe, hydrate, take uh cleanse your house. Use use whatever tools you use to cleanse your house, cleanse your mind, be careful with your words, your thoughts, your energy that you're putting out into the world, but be very intentional. You can do this. You are the luckiest person you know. Change change everything to it is working for you. So even if it feels like something is a door is being closed, or an opportunity is taken away from you, or a situation is changing, see that as the door being closed and another one being opened. Because, like I said, this powerful portal, I don't think any of us will be exactly the same at the end of 2026 as we were at the beginning. So this fire horse here, it's really taking us for quite the ride toward our emotional, spiritual, and personal freedoms as well as the collective freedom. And I'm here for it. I'm excited for it. So please let me know if um if you want to know more, please um send me a message. I'd love to see you actually like, share. Um, if you're on YouTube, you can hit um hype, which is is a new button that um helps creators get seen. Um, but also send me a comment. What do you want to hear? What what kind of things would you like me to cover in the coming coming month as we go through eclipse season? I I I'm excited for it. I'm actually really excited, like I haven't been in a really long time. So I love you, live magically, and have a happy full moon in Aquarius with the Jupiter Kazimi and the luckiest day of the year being Wednesday.
