Aquarius full moon – august 2024

We will experience the Aquarius Full Moon on August 19 th (around 20.27 CEST) at 27°15’.
Aquarius is a Fixed air sign with a masculine energy, ruled by the planet Uranus (modern ruler) and traditionally by Saturn. Aquarius is often described as an intriguing and complex zodiac sign embodying a unique blend of independence, innovation, intellect, and humanitarianism. This sign can be quite resolute in its opinions and ideas, often sticking to them with a sense of conviction. The Fixed nature of Aquarius also brings stability and consistency, particularly in the realm of ideas and intellectual pursuits.

When Moon transits through this sign we might notice the following feelings and changes in our habits:

• Increased desire for freedom and independence
• Heightened sense of idealism and focus on the future
• Urge to connect with others on an intellectual level – to collaborate
• Expressing your unique qualities – experimenting with different styles
• Desire to engage in humanitarian activities or causes – wanting to make a change.
• Seeking out innovative or unconventional experiences

During this transit, it’s best to avoid:

• Being overly detached or aloof
• Resisting change or being stubborn in your views
• Becoming too rebellious or contrary for the sake of it
• Ignoring the needs or opinions of others
• This is not a good time for hairstyle change, or any dental procedure

The Do’s:

• Meditate, clear your mind
• Skin care, wellness activities
• Collecting Herbs
• Fishing
• Rest, cleanse your body

This Full Moon has some extra spice in store for us, the intense energies we discussed earlier will peak on that day. Mercury retrograde will align closely with the Sun forming the Cazimi aspect, and there’s also a T-square and a potent conjunction happening simultaneously. Venus, Saturn and Jupiter will form a T square, while Mars and Jupiter are in a conjunction with a 2-degree orb.

The Cazimi’s effect:

During this Full Moon, there may be surprising revelations or progress in communication, understanding, or problem-solving. This could bring hidden information to light and bring clarity to confusing or stagnant situations. However, due to the current retrograde phase, it is important to double-check information and be careful in how you communicate.

The ongoing T-square:

In this configuration, Venus’s presence hints at potential issues in relationships. Saturn’s influence may surface issues surrounding commitment, boundaries, and responsibility, while Jupiter could magnify these tensions, making them appear larger than life. You might find yourself torn between the longing for freedom and the pressure to fulfill our responsibilities and obligations within the relationship. Despite the challenges posed by the T-square, it presents us with opportunities for personal growth. The key lies in striking a balance and not allowing the pressure to overwhelm you. Jupiter’s inherent optimism can act as a counterbalance to the restrictive energies of Saturn and the relational or value-based tensions brought by Venus. This means that finding a positive outlook, or even humor, could be crucial in resolving conflicts or easing stress.

The Aquarius Full Moon brings a sense of emotional detachment, allowing us to step back from the intensity of the T-square and view situations more objectively. This detachment, combined with Jupiter’s expansive view, helps us see beyond immediate tensions to the larger, more universal truths.

• Journaling, meditation, or philosophical discussions can help you process the expansive and visionary energy of Jupiter.
• Saturn’s influence might make things feel heavy, so use Jupiter’s energy to inject some lightness. Make time for fun, creativity, and activities that uplift your spirit.
• Jupiter is also about abundance and blessings. Take time to appreciate the good things in your life, which can help shift your focus away from the tensions of the T-square.

These aspects may test your resilience and patience, but remember to hang in there – these intense energies will gradually soften as September approaches. Stay strong, stay hopeful, and trust that better times are on the horizon!
