We welcome two beautiful moons this month. August’s full moon arrives on the 3rd in the zodiac sign of Aquarius. There’s always a heightened sense of energy around the full moon. It creates space for us to let our subconscious mind surface. We welcome the new moon of August on the 18th in the zodiac sign of Leo. The energy of the new moon is all about setting new intentions and opening doorways for new opportunities. Take the guidance for the energy of each moon and the crystal guidance and make the full moon and new moon a beautiful experience.
August’s Full Moon + Crystal Guidance
The full moon will allow you to build the energy and to finish the new intentions you set previously. We discover it often marks the end of a growth phase. The Aquarius Full Moon will allow us to work on our vibration by eliminating ourselves like fear, hate, guilt, and shame, all which lower our vibration. To raise our vibration, we should focus on love, gratitude, compassion, and contentment and learn that the vibration and energy you put out into the world are what you will attract. By focusing on the positive energies, you will stop absorbing the negative ones, allowing you to influence the vibrations around you.
Aquarius is the sign of progression and the collective. The tale of Aquarius, or the water bearer, reminds us we are all connected through our energy, frequency, and consciousness. As the water bearer, Aquarius would bring water to each village with tales and ideas from the previous village. This, in a way, connected the villages as they merged ideas and energies. Aquarius reminds us that we are all connected and what one person does will affect the rest of us.
Aquarius, a water element, is perfect for the heady days we are currently having. Try to set time for yourself and embrace the water element during the full moon and take a swim, bath or even soaking your feet. Make sure your crystals aren’t water-soluble, they could be a great addition to a foot bath, along with a few drops of your favorite essential oil and Epsom salt).

August’s New Moon + Crystal Guidance
The new moon is a great time to revisit old intentions and lay the foundation for new. We welcome the new moon on August 18th in the zodiac sign of Leo. Leo, who is ruled by the Sun and the center of the solar system, reminds us to just be grateful for life. No matter what happens in life, between the good and the bad, we should know that life is worth living. Leo reminds us to truly enjoy life and connect with things that bring us true joy and happiness.
The Season of Leo
The Season of Leo is a time of self-expression. It’s time to truly embrace your uniqueness and who you are and throw caution to the wind. Do what makes you happy without worrying about what others think or how they will view you. By living your authentic self, you will open up to many opportunities and showing up as yourself will attract your tribe. You’ll find those that believe in the same fundamental things you do and that’s where you’ll find true belonging. That’s where you’ll find those that encourage you to be yourself and shine. And that’s where you’ll find the power to change the world.
When we live our authentic life, we start to discover joy and happiness. As we connect with joy and happiness is what heals us. Let the Season of Leo heal you with uncontrollable laughter, simple gratitude, and losing yourself in a moment you forget time even exists. Truly celebrate your joy, happiness, gratitude, yourself, and your authenticity.
Leo’s element is fire and it is hard to escape fire and heat during the month of August. Sit around the fire can be incredibly calming, almost like a form of meditation, or light a candle and relax with a good book. This is a beautiful time to create a simple yet powerful self-care ritual. Our world has taught us to be going all the time – slow down and breathe. You have a beautiful life to live.
New Moon Crystal Guidance
