★ALL Full Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after★
The Moon is Full in Aquarius at 25°, the sign of the Water Bearer, on Thursday, August 18th, at 2:26am {pacific time}.
Full Moons are a time of Manifestation, Contemplation, Balance, Realization and Letting Go!
LUNAR ECLIPSE
Eclipses are always a time of change. A Lunar Eclipse is a powerful time and one that allows us the opportunity to really gain some deep clarity, improve our consciousness and wipe our slate clean! We are able to go even deeper in reprogramming old ways of being than before. Eclipses are turning points for us to move forward even further and faster. IF we can embrace and face our feelings and what needs to change and be released.
This Full Moon in AQUARIUS is opposite our Sun in LEO. Aquarius is an Air sign that is about Independence, Liberation, Originality, Friendliness, Eccentricity, Inventiveness, Willfulness, and Humanitarianism. This energy can also be Detached, Aloof, Strange, Rebellious, Conflicting, Unpredictable, and Unemotional.
Anytime a Full Moon is here we need to focus on BALANCE. Our goal is to balance the opposite energies of the Sun {personality/character} and the Moon {Mood/Emotions} as they oppose each other in the sky, pushing and pulling in opposite directions, this puts our energy at odds.
Eclipses are about changes, Aquarius can represent unexpected change. This Full Moon will open your eyes to things you have not been able to see previously. Uranus, Aquarius’s ruling Planet, is sextile this full moon and trine the Sun. This makes it easier for you to make decisions and break away from old behavior patterns and any confusion that’s been plaguing you, leaving you are more inclined to take a risk!
Where have you been feeling held back by the opinions or judgments of society?
How have you been wanting to change but have been too fixed in your ways?
What is it about you that you have come to realize is your unique truth?
How are you inspired to live?
Insight and creative inspiration is high. Realizations about yourself and your identity are brought to the forefront. You may be pulled {or pushed} to make some significant changes to your core foundations regarding family life, health, career, home, or your living situation. You may choose to break away from a group or social circle that is restricting your freedom or your ability to live life to the beat of your own drum.
Mars and Saturn conjunct offer you the discipline and drive to be able to take care of the not so easy tasks that are ahead of you. However, watch your temper. Deal with frustrations immediately as they come up. Speak your mind consciously lest you lose your cool and blow up. Physical violence and outbursts are not unlikely with this aspect. Luckily, Aquarian energy does prefer to keep its cool and approach things from a detached and logical perspective.
Keep in mind that Mercury is already in it’s shadow phase and will go retrograde in Virgo on August 30th. You can make the most progress before August 25th. After that, there will be some revisiting of recent changes and daily habits, and health and how you reflection on the details of what has occurred up to this point. Mercury will go direct September 22nd. During this time avoid signing contracts, making purchases on electronics, or any firm decisions until our planet of communication charges forward again. Try not to be overly critical the choices you’ve made or the progress you think you have or haven’t made.

There is a Yod between Uranus, The Full Moon, and Jupiter, pointing right at Jupiter. The winds of change are blowing strongly. Whatever occurs now in regards to your relationships, work, purpose, and ambitions is fated. This is for your growth, this is for your expansion, this is how you will transcend into a bigger version of yourself. A version of you that understands and sees the whole picture. Mercury’s conjunction to Jupiter and Venus indicate it’s easier to keep the faith this time than it has been up to this point, to stay optimistic and believe in life, humanity.
You are changing and it is an exciting time.
The ways in which you may change, the circumstances that may be brought into the light, could bring big judgment from society, your social circle, and your community. Therefore, this change can also cause GREAT anxiety and bring a shock to your nervous system, if you let it, as it challenges your entire identity and your place in this world. Use the Aquarian Full Moon to embrace what is weird, unique, or out of the ‘ordinary’ about you and your situation. You already know that outside approval is not needed if you are focused on your truth, and your purpose. Rise up!
Don’t conform. CONFIRM….
“Today you are YOU, that is truer than true..”
