Let's talk about the energy of this season, because as women, one of the most powerful things we can do is live in tune with the cycles around us and within us. The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9th is calling us into alignment with our future selves, our freedom, our communities, and our expression. Today, I'll guide you through what this full moon means. How it connects to seasonal living and how you can work with it to release, reset and realign. Welcome to Mindful Success Path. My name is Amanda and on this channel we talk all about how to manifest what you desire in life without all the extra stress, chaos, and drama that most people are accustomed to.

We also have a free guide. About manifestation and rewiring your mind and your nervous system to manifest the things that you desire in life, which you can find for free below as well. Both are going to be very helpful for you when we start talking more about seasonal living, cyclical moon cycles, intuition. Manifesting, all that kind of stuff. So all those resources will be below. So let's get into it. Before getting into this particular full moon, let's quickly talk about seasonal living. Right. So I recently did a video on how slow living, uh, and the slow living lifestyle is like the perfect feminine energy reset, and it's something that a lot of us women need in order to get more in tune. With our feminine essence and bring more of that feminine energy back online. And basically what that means, right, is that it means living in rhythm, right? You live in rhythm with earth, with your body and the cycles of the moon and nature, both out in nature and out in the world. And also. Within yourself because we are a part of nature. Human beings love to forget that it, it's kind of wild when you think about it, that human beings think they're so separate from it when in reality we're, we're in it, we are in it, we are nature. Right? So right now we are in late summer. Uh, the days are still long, but there is a little shift. Right? And it's the season of, you know. Energetic fullness and harvest and celebration. And the full moon mirrors this. This is the full moon that we're coming into. So full moons, for those of you who don't know, this is like the peak of the lunar cycle. It's the moment of full illumination. So this is like when our ancestors would go out and party because there was actually light. Um. For them to see. It was a time for them to see clearly, and it was a time for them to release and also celebrate how far they've come. It's also a time of harvest, right? So if you set some intentions during the new Moon, maybe you're seeing some of those seeds. Start to sprout, uh, in the full moon. Although in my experience, it's been more like six month cycles before something comes into full completion. Uh, so for example, we just have the New Moon in Leo. Maybe you planted some seeds. In my experience, you see the fullness of that manifestation, or you see more clearly of those seeds once you get to the full moon. Uh, in Leo, but within two weeks you might already start seeing some of those seeds start to sprout, or you might get clarity about something that you had going on six months prior. And when you start tracking these things, you start to notice more and more. Of those patterns, right? So the Full Moon in Aquarius, let's talk about this, right this time. The Full Moon lands in Aquarius, right? It's the sign of innovation, liberation, uh, community. It's, it's the, it's the weird kid, right? It's always that one, right? It's the one that, it's always a little bit, you know, off the wall a little bit, right? Because it's innovation. So Aquarius is asking, where am I ready to break free? What outdated roles or stories are keeping me small? How can I be more aligned with my future vision while staying true in this case, of this audience to my feminine core? It's a deeply reflective mood, um, because it, it invites a lot of emotional clarity with like soul level upgrades, to put it that way, because Aquarius Energy. Isn't so much about emotions, right? It's air element. Air is very mental. Aquarius is not known for being very emotional, quite the opposite. It's more known about being very analytical, innovative, all those kinds of things. It's actually more about awareness than it is about emotions, right? So if you've been feeling. Like you've outgrown, um, certain things in your life. This might be a moment in which this full moon starts to shine, uh, a lot of light on it. So, for example, in this case, this full moon is happening in my fifth house, um, of, uh, creativity, pleasure, entrepreneurship, joy. So by the time I'm filming this a few weeks in advance, so I could read that as in four weeks, I'm gonna have a lot more clarity. About my creative pursuits, right? Or maybe a creative pursuit that I started taking seriously several months ago. Like this one, right? Starts to bring more fruition and more harvest. That's another way I might be able to read it, or I might have some more clarity. Around that. Now in order to see where this full Moon is affecting you specifically, you're gonna have to, uh, download your own birth chart and then you can see what area in your life you might be getting more clarity, more illumination. Maybe there's a release that needs to happen or maybe something that you started six months ago, maybe you notice has. Coming into harvest or you're having more clarity or there's a completion around that. So now let's talk a little bit about feminine energy and full moons and just moon cycles in general, which is one of the reasons why I'm starting to do these videos. So on this channel we talk more about a feminine energy path, and the moon is very much associated. With the feminine. If we look at our hormonal cycles, they literally are in alignment with moon cycles. So, for example, the new moon is associated to your bleed. The full moon is associated when you're ovulating. The the moon changes. It's. Phases every 28 days or so. Well guess what happens? Your hormonal cycle as a woman is also around every 28 days. Coincidence? I think not. So in the case of full moons, um, this is where it's not necessarily about doing more, it's about becoming more, becoming more honest on your feminine energy path, because the feminine energy. She thrives, uh, in truth. And one big theme that has been coming up for a lot of you in the comment section is authenticity. Especially coming off of the New Moon in Leo that we just had, there's been a lot about truth. There's been a lot about authenticity, right? So maybe. You start seeing in, in this full moon cycle how you've started to become more authentic, how you've started to express your truth more. For some of you, that truth is, oh my gosh, I am more of a feminine essence woman. Or, oh my gosh, you know that truth is I want to be living more in my feminine energy, which is happening to women all around the world right now. But I would say, especially in the West right now, we're having a big resurgence of these things, right? You could also realize that this is a time of, you know, releasing and moving into a new phase of life. So. This Full Moon could look like your opportunity, right? To let go of performance-based relationships because you want a community.'cause Aquarius is about community that are more authentic to you. It may look like releasing the pressure to fit in because Aquarius is not fit in. Aquarius does whatever the heck Aquarius kind of wants to do. In a lot of ways, Aquarius is the oddball and a lot of women are living in ways. Where they're constantly trying to fit a mold or fit in or be liked by other people, and Aquarius doesn't really care about any of that, right? It might be about reclaiming your right to live differently. Slower, deeper. For a lot of women, they wanna live wilder, right? There's this like rewilding going on with women, especially women who, like myself for example, I feel very much and a lot of women do. When we start looking into, uh, the old ways of how our ancestors did things, all those things are starting to come back up again. And isn't it interesting how things like. Uh, that are starting to come back up again. Like old traditions, old rituals, uh, things our ancestors used to do, how they used to heal, how this is all coming up right as this alternative innovative thing, right? But really it's just what people have always done since the beginning of time. I just thought that was kind of funny. But there is this sort of like rewilding that women. Are coming into, and Aquarius is giving you that permission to basically break the mold, but still stay soft when you do it. So here's a ritual and some journal prompts that you can use for this particular full Moon in Aquarius. So as with all full moons, they're pretty good for releasing and they're also pretty good for gratitude. So one of the things that I always like to do on a full moon is I like to be grateful for what I now see. I like to be grateful for what I now see harvesting. I like to be grateful for what has been illuminated. In some way, maybe it was a solution to a problem, maybe it was, uh, something that I was working on in the last six months. And then finally I see how it's all coming together. But here's, uh, uh, also some other things you can do. So. One simple, um, ritual that you can do is you can get a white candle or a silver candle. Y'all know I love my candles and a journal, right? And something that is symbolic of your community or your future self. For, for example, a lot of women who watch this channel, they want to be a lot more in their feminine energy. So maybe one way that you can use this moon, um, to start bringing that more into your life in a more symbolic way, is figuring out, okay, well, what does my future energy. In my feminine energy look like. Maybe that looks like what does it look like when I'm in more feminine energy in my relationships? What does it look like when I'm in more feminine energy in my business? What does it look like when I'm in more, uh, feminine energy just in my lifestyle? For example, what do I dress like? What do I look like, what kind of relationships I'm in? These are all things and, and these are all things you can start to kind of formulate and ask yourself, right? And create kind of like an avatar. Right in terms of what that future self living more in your feminine energy looks like. The next thing you'll wanna do is, once you've got this stuff is you wanna light the candle and ground yourself, right? So, uh, one thing, especially with all the chaos going on in the world right now is we really gotta do a lot of grounding. It's one of the reasons I'm so grateful that we moved out to the lake and I'm surrounded by mountains because. There's been a lot going on in the world, and I've said it multiple times on videos. People are running around with like totally fried nervous systems, so we really got a ground, so don't forget to do that. Right and reflect right where you might be feeling some tension between belonging and authenticity, right? Where, for example, you might be feeling like you're not allowing yourself to innovate or reinvent yourself, or in the case of feminine energy, maybe more living more authentically or to you means, okay, I'm gonna be living in more feminine energy. But there's a tension because maybe. I've heard people say, is the feminists are gonna get mad at me, or something like that. Right. That would be, um, an example or the trolls are gonna come after me, or, or my family's gonna disown me. Stuff like that. Right? It's kind of like the, the tension between the individual and the community, right? That's a lot of what comes up when we've got like Aquarius Leo stuff going on. You can journal, right? What parts of you are feeling limited by your past, right? Where do you need more freedom? And what version of you are you becoming and what needs to go, or what do you need to let go of? Because full moons are good for that, to make space for her and the woman that is coming into manifestation, right? Where you're releasing on a very small piece of paper, right? And then you can bury it or burn it. I'm a fan of burning. Personally, I like, I like fire energy, right? But it's up to you. Full moons are for release, right? So you can symbolically release things through a fire burning ceremony. Of course, please make sure you are safe while you are doing this, right? So for example, this is happening more in. My fifth house, right? So again, this is my fifth house of creativity. We've got Pluto there as well because Pluto is also in Aquarius. So all these, um, all these things about power struggles are coming up for people because Pluto is very much about power. You're gonna see a lot about, uh, the community. That's why you see a lot of like, uh, unrest and craziness going on in the world right now as people are kind of like waking up. To a lot of things that have been going on, perhaps behind the scenes when they were in Pisces and now they're coming to light. Um. So for, but in my case, right, this is happening more in my fifth house, right? Fifth house is the creativity, it's the relationships, it's the pleasure, it's the joy, all those kinds of things. So I may be using this full moon to reflect on my relationship with, uh, my creative pursuits, my relationship with joy, my relationship with pleasure, which is very interesting because as a woman who is, um. More discovered feminine energy and wants to live more in that way. What is feminine energy? What, what's a big part of feminine energy? Pleasure. Pleasure and joy and creativity. So perfect. As someone who is, uh, currently starting to teach these things and lately, you know, I've been feeling the call to show up more creatively and to create content that feels more like me. So you may not know this, but I have spent. 15 years online in multiple different businesses. And when it came to content like this, I would always shy away from it. I would always be like, no, no, no, I can't do that because I'm gonna be like disowned or there's like a witch wound there, or my family's gonna think I'm nuts. They already do. So it's fine in a loving way. Uh, or, or there was always like resistance around you, right? Until my husband. Uh, who's like the tech genius behind all this kind of stuff, uh, was like, Hey, you should really start talking about like moon cycles and feminine energy and dating and all that kind of stuff.'cause you're constantly getting asked about these things and you're really good at it. And I was like, no, I can't possibly do that. Right. I can't do that. So you might, again, there's that tension, uh, that we were talking about. I was feeling very resistant because I was afraid of being judged. By the collective. So even though it was something, even in my previous businesses, like my cli, my coaching clients knew that I was like into this stuff. The ones that got, you know, worked with me more privately and they're like, why aren't you talking about this stuff? And I was like, no, no, no, I can't do that. I can't do it. Right. So now this is coming, um. Back around and thank you for being here. Well, I do this, uh, in real time and show you guys what it looks like, uh, in real time. So again, there's been like that tension, right? Uh, for a while. And now I am. Coming out of it now, it's like being illuminated for the world to see. The other thing where this might come up is there being a tension between like structure and freedom, right? So the moon is helping me release old expectations and get clear on what lights me up creatively and trust that honoring my joy. Serves the mission even more. Honoring my joy and my authenticity is honestly what puts me, um, on this path of manifesting what it is that I desire in the life. And maybe for you, it's not about business. Maybe for you, it's not about creative pursuits or joy or pleasure, that just happens to be where it's happening in my astrological birth chart. Maybe for you it's relationships. Maybe it's about motherhood, maybe. It's dreams that you've quietly put on hold and this full moon says, you know, you don't have to hold it all the same way anymore. There's some sort of innovation that is coming, uh, to light here. There's some sort of releasing. That is happening here, and it's okay to be a little bit different, and it's okay to be the oddball and it's okay to authentically express yourself, even if maybe the, the community around you may not like it, but maybe, right. And you expressing yourself more authentically and innovating in some way. Maybe your current community doesn't like it, right? And the current collective around you, but it serves the whole collective and humanity as a whole. Because Aquarius is about humanity. So the Aquarius. Full Moon is a chance for you to break free with Grace. It's a chance for you to liberate yourself from the things that may be holding you back, particularly around, uh, community and environment or judgment. Around that. It's to, it's, it's about honoring what's no longer aligned and letting it go. In a lot of ways it's about welcoming your future self with open arms. Um, and ultimately these videos that I'm doing about the moon cycles are about living seasonally. Not just with nature, but also with the truth of who it is that you actually are and who you want to be.

What is it that you are going to innovate in your life? And until next time, I want you to stay radiant and stay grounded, and I'll catch you on the next video.
