i create space for it.

This morning we welcomed

the Aquarius Full Moon during one of the most energetically symbolic times of the year. Yesterday, on July 28^th, the Lion's Gate Portal opened. This period of alignment has long been viewed as a time of expanded consciousness and new beginnings, bringing in abundance, empowerment, infinite potential, and personal evolution.

The Lion's Gate Portal reaches its peak on August 8^th, when both the Sun in Leo and the brightest star in the sky Sirius, align with Earth. The portal remains open until the Leo New Moon on August 12^th.

The Aquarius Full Moon creates a beautiful juxtaposition between the Leo Sun and the Aquarius Moon, asking us to find balance between two powerful energies.

Leo reminds us to lead with our hearts, embrace our creativity, and have the courage to be fully seen.

Aquarius reminds us to think beyond ourselves, honor our individuality, question old conditioning, and choose authenticity over approval.

Together, they ask us one simple but powerful question:

Where are you still performing instead of simply being yourself?

This isn't the time to wear the mask that makes everyone else comfortable. It's the time to drop the act, release the expectations you've been carrying, and reconnect with the version of yourself that doesn't need permission to shine.

Full Moons are moments of illumination. They bring to light what we've ignored, what we've outgrown, and what is ready to be released.

This moon carries the energy of deep release.

Release the habits that keep you small.

Release the relationships that leave you feeling unseen or undervalued.

Release the stories that tell you you're too much—or not enough.

Release the need for external validation.

Release the fear of disappointing others by choosing yourself.

If you've been pouring into people, places, or situations that haven't been pouring back into you, this Full Moon may gently reveal where your energy has been taken for granted. Not to create resentment, but to help you recognize your worth.

Your energy is sacred.

Your boundaries are necessary.

You are not here to make yourself smaller so everyone else feels more comfortable.

This Aquarius moon also reminds us that growth doesn't happen in isolation. It asks us to seek out the people, communities, and relationships that celebrate who we truly are—not who we've been pretending to be.

Every ending creates space for a beginning.

This Full Moon invites you to close old chapters with gratitude while opening your heart to new opportunities, new relationships, and a new way of being.

Remember that healing doesn't always happen through giant breakthroughs.

Sometimes it looks like setting one healthy boundary.

Speaking one honest truth.

Or choosing yourself one more time than you did yesterday.

As the Lion's Gate Portal continues building toward its 8/8 peak, allow yourself to dream a little bigger. Trust your intuition a little more, and believe that what is meant for you won't require you to abandon yourself to receive it.

Remember:

Small steps are still movement.

Healing is still healing.

Progress is still progress.

You don't have to force what's meant for you.

You simply have to create space for it.

Happy Aquarius Full Moon. 🤍

From my heart to yours,
