In this lunar cycle, our Full Moon is on August 9 at 3:55 am EDT.
The Full Moon is a time of culmination, making decisions, and bringing things to the light. Full Moons are bright beacons in the sky, and they can literally and metaphorically act as a spotlight, illuminating what we were missing or overlooking before. Perhaps even what we were too busy to see (or didn’t want to see).
We have a Full Moon in Aquarius this month, highlighting the balance between doing what we want and working with and for others. This time reminds us that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves and that we can contribute our unique talents. Now is an excellent time to band together with others to work towards a common goal. Harness this energy, and you can create lasting change and progress.
You can also look to the New Moon in February, which was in Aquarius, as you'll be wrapping up whatever you begin then now.
With a Full Moon in Aquarius, we have the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo, helping us find the balance between the group (Aquarius) and ourselves (Leo). As Full Moons illuminate, we may find that groups or places we once identified no longer align with our values, beliefs, or simply the road we're on, and we need to break free and do things in a new way, a way that aligns with our truth.
Aquarius is rational and logical, thinking outside of the box and innovating for the common good. Aquarius understands that rising tides lift all boats. Aquarius lives by the creed that together we rise, together we fall.
Leo, however, can get caught up in the self. Leo seeks out praise and adoration, while Aquarius just wants to know how to make things better, more streamlined. This dichotomy that we all hold is brought to the surface with this Full Moon, ready for you to examine and do with it what you will.
With this Full Moon, we have Mars trining Uranus, while opposing Saturn and Neptune. There is also the Venus conjunct Jupiter which is in orb and will be exact on Tuesday.
With Uranus in this Full Moon chart, things can be disrupted, things may be explosive - either globally with the news or something more personal in your daily life. Mars opposite Saturn and Neptune can make it feel hard to find motivation. We want to make change for the better, both for us and for the collective, but it can feel impossible to know where to start and it’s like we’re having to dodge the overwhelm and disillusionment. Venus conjunct Jupiter gives us a bit of hope to cling to, however, we just have to follow our values and know that our actions are aligning with what matters most to us. That’s where we’ll find the determination to keep going.
This could look like speaking out against what is happening around you, either on a global scale with Gaza, ICE, the de-funding of libraries and schools, or some other (how are there more?!) atrocities. Or maybe there is something in your neck of the woods, neighborhood, or backyard that you want to shine a light on. Whatever it is, don’t let what you think you’re seeing around you right now discourage you. Know there is community, there is light, and it is coming.
Where are you holding yourself back, dimming your sparkle and wrapping your soul up in order to hide it?
