So if Mercury rules clear thinking, does that mean an MLCer is just in a constant state of Mercury Retrograde?

=========================================

Tonight is The Full Stag Moon, so called because young male stags will start to grow their antlers at this time. It is also called the Thunder Moon because of the thunder storms brought on through the hot and humid air.

Change or be changed is the message of this Full Moon. Since the Summer Solstice you should have felt a sense of something shifting both within yourself and with the outside world, this is because we have crossed a line. The first half of the year is over. We have now entered the second half of the year. This a good time to look back over the last 6 months and look at what you have learned, what you have lost and what you have gained. Take lessons from what you have learned good or bad and use them in your future endeavors whether this be in work, relationships or family.

Tonight's Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius, Things could get interesting, to say the least, This is an atmosphere ripe for outbursts that are highly emotional. Emotions could hit extremes of both highs and lows and everything in between, with quick, inexplicably loony shifts. We will experience storms in the sky and a few storms in our lives under the influence of the Thunder Moon energy. We may find ourselves in unexpected mood swings, one minute sad then the next minute happy for no reason, we may experience vivid and weird dreams but don't worry this will soon pass.

The Aquarius Full Moon will give us strength to work out what we need to work out in our lives, now is the perfect time to look into work or finances. A good saying is 'The harder I work, the luckier I get' which is the Aquarius motto. If there are any jobs that you have been putting off do them now, if you want to give up a bad habit use the energy of this Moon to do it. Look into money making projects it may be a promotion at work or a project you could start that will bring financial rewards. Many people call this the 'Money Moon' because it has the potential to bring you wealth or extra income.

Tonight's Full Moon will be about building foundations for the future, to make ourselves feel more secure in our surroundings and financially. We can only be happy when we feel safe and secure in our own homes and environment. Be ambitious, go for what you want or put plans into place to get what you want in the future. Be braver, be bolder. You will have an inner strength now that will pull you through anything that comes up against you.

Aquarius is the zodiac’s sign of thought and individualism, this is a time to try something new, come out of your comfort zone, do something different with your look, small changes at this time will get big results. Be your own hero, be a soldier, tackle any problems head on, deal with anything that has been bugging your life, get to grips with what is holding you back, break down walls and barriers that are stopping you from moving forward.

Use the energy of this Full Moon to heal your spirit. Let the winds of change blow over you from the Aquarius air element. Soak up the intensified energy of the Earth and let it cleanse you.

Here is something interesting about the upcoming Solar Eclipse...

==========================================

Third Eclipse Friday, 10 August 2018

The final edition in a rare trilogy of eclipses takes place this weekend. As it arrives, Mercury links with wise Jupiter, and the change-maker, Uranus, has just changed direction. It's a celestial signal that it's time for a radical re-think of our priorities. Here comes the chance to question received wisdom and find ways to create meaning. The plans that emerge will be the start of a new journey. Any seeds sown this weekend will exhibit strong emotional growth. So before choosing what to plant, it's worth considering the wider picture.

UM:
Thanks for that information.
I didn’t even realize there was an eclipse this weekend!

BUT —-  It is the Perseids Meteor shower as well, so try to get a glimpse of it if you’re in the right viewing area and good conditions.  I think it runs Saturday through Monday.

Also didn't notice the eclipse.

Hope this year the sky is clear. I want to see the Perseids Meteor shower.

Full Corn Moon - 26 August
=========================================

Tonight is the Full Corn Moon named because this is a time of the corn harvests. The August Full Moon is also known as the Sturgeon Moon because this was the time when wild sturgeon and Salmon would be abundant in rivers and streams. At this time our emotions will be heightened, our senses will be sharp, things that were hidden or in the shadows can now be seen.

If you have been feeling stuck in a situation or that everything has been standing still lately, get ready because this Full Moon will be bringing with it a wind of change. The whole of earth is going through a massive transition at the minute, Summer is fading and Autumn is coming in, leaves are starting to change colour and falling from trees, plants and flowers are dying and seeding the earth for next Spring. But at the same time crops in fields are flourishing with the harvest, fruit is now at it's most ripest. We will feel this energy of transformation, we should use it to help transform and shape ourselves into what we want to be.

The Full Moon is in the sign of Pisces. The time is potent to follow our hearts and to create new pathways. We have shed our skin, now is the time to emerge and start turning the visions we have of ourselves into something real. There will be some deep emotional changes happening now, don't fight them, let them come to the surface we must move with the changes, allow what wants to come forth, and trust our inner knowing and guidance.

Your enthusiasm, idealism and creativity will be at an all time high. You will be bursting with new ideas and energy. You could have sudden insights into the future and where it is you are going. Dreams will be wild and vivid and could even be prophetic. You can move from a breakdown to a breakthrough now. You are experiencing a transformation in consciousness, big changes are coming.

Sometimes your growth can feel weird and strange when you are no longer connecting to your past. But truly, the old way of living no longer works for you. You are experiencing new aspects of yourself and life. You are giving birth to the new you, and giving birth is painful. This is real work. This is real growth. There is so much to celebrate right now. Realise that to live out new, promising visions there's a need to restructure and grow. A new vision of the future will be illuminated, it is up to you what you do with it.

Most of all tonight's Full Moon will be about healing. Let the waters of Pisces wash away your negative thoughts and feelings and take you on a journey of discovery. Let go of the past and welcome in the future. This is the harvest and it is time to start reaping what we have sown, your hard work will start paying off. Take the gifts life offers you and make the most of them.

Have a Blessed Full Moon
