The Full Moon in Aquarius theme is about reaching for goals (usually spiritual) beyond where you are now. Like a spark of lightning, insights can come and show us what is possible.
Before we act or speak, we have a spark of an idea. Speaking or communication is firs a thought – and the combination of Mercury and this full moon opens the way to understand consciousness, thought and communication in new ways.
Meditating with the breath of fire will being new levels of peace and understanding to you. See the practice I have shared below.
The moon in Vedic Astrology is associated with consciousness and each full moon lights up a particular form of the evolution of our mind and soul.
This moon celebrates the world of ideas and inspiration because it is in Aquarius the last air constellation in the cycle of the zodiac.
When we reach for idea that are larger than ourselves we light up aspiration. We reach beyond our individual self and begin to feel ourselves as one drop of the ocean, as one consciousness in the Universe of consciousness.
This full moon connect us with the greater community of the human condition. Aquarius helps us understand and reach for experience and realizations and goals which are about the collective experience – of what it is to be human and seek Joy, seek Peace and seek liberation.
With the full moon is air-sign Aquarius and in the lunar mansion called Purva Bhadrapada all of our consciousness lights up with new lessons of growth.
When the moon is full in this lunar mansion it gives a glimpse of realization of the vast, connected and beautiful Universe that the soul at
this stage seeks to go beyond and understand Universal truths of consciousness, peace and harmony.
This particular full moon connects with the God of Fire, Agni and all things which bring alchemy, digestion of ideas and vitality into our lives. It is associated with instant moments of realization which open us to deeper spiritual seeking (like lightning insights).
Here is a short practice to connect with the energy of this full moon

Breath of Fire – and then holding the breath afterwards
(In general, do not do this practice if you have high blood pressure).
This is a basic form of pranayama which takes NO alternate nostril breathing.
START:
Begin the practice after allowing your breath to find its easy,
calm rhythm where there is no effort or sound to breathe. It is
important to first allow the breath to be completely calm and at ease,
with no effort or resistance first.
– Next take a deep, easy and long breath in and then exhale only from
contracting the diaphragm.
– Keep compressing the diaphragm for exhale only, this is called the
Breath of Fire.
– After you have expelled all of the air with only exhaling, then slowly and gently allow the
air to fill your lungs again. Gently and calmly, allow three long inhales
and gentle (unforced) exhales to occur.
– Then allow your breath to fall into its normal, relaxed pattern.
– Once your breath is calm again, then inhale one long breathe again
and hold your breath for as long as you can (aim for 30 seconds/beats if you can).
Notice where you have resistance inside the body; take the attention to those places and see
if you can help the spot relax. This often extends the held breath.
– Do not hold the breath so long that you are tense or frightened. Go to
the first moment where there is the thought of being thirsty for the
breath and then gently let go.
– Allow the breath to settle and return to its normal relaxed pattern.
– Repeat holding the breath one or two more times after your breath is
settled.
– Now, just sit. It is often euphoric and pleasant and easy to meditate in
this state.
