August 2022 Full Moon Crystal + Essential Oil Guidance

Blue fluorite is a wonderful crystal of communication and truth-telling. If there are some hard truths bubbling beneath the surface, blue fluorite softens the edges so we can speak our truth with love and wisdom. Whatever truths are being revealed at the full moon in Aquarius, let a blue fluorite crystal assist you! Wear it as jewelry or carry it in your pocket at this time for greater patience, respect, and sincerity in everything you do.
Spruce essential oil is a clean, woodsy scent that resonates with the heart chakra. A powerful detoxer, it’s great for literally cleaning your home, but can also relieve mental clutter as it soothes and releases what no longer serves you. Put a few drops in a glass spray bottle of water for a powerful surface cleanser, or diffuse in your home for an uplifting, soothing environment.

August 2022 New Moon Insights
August 23rd, 2022 brings a new moon in Virgo, which can bring a new sense of optimism if the full moon was a bit intense for you. Never fear, Virgo is here to ground and stabilize you, even as it invites you to get clear on what you want out of life.
Now, Virgo energy also calls us to focus on details, so if this is difficult for you, know that it might just be bringing up the hidden snippets of life that are asking you to notice them right now. If your full moon in Aquarius taught you about your true self, Virgo can teach you how to be yourself through noting where you can dig in a little more and do what must be done.
