Just 9 hours before Virgo Season begins, we have another full moon in Aquarius. That’s right y’all, get ready for round 2. We just had a Full Moon in Aquarius on July 23. Sometimes we get 2 full moons in a row in the same constellation due to the natural wobbling and waffling of the planets as they careen around the sun.

The August full moon is called the Sturgeon Moon. Moonrise at sunset ~ peak at midnight ~ moonset at sunrise ~

Moon and Sun oppose one another (again!) in unpredictable Aquarius and headstrong Leo. Fixed oppositions summon forceful reactions. What came up for you on the last full moon? Just how unexpected was it? Get ready to revisit whatever it was. People with sun/moon/rising in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius should expect more twists and turns.

I think the coolest thing about Aquarius is how he illuminates our judgments and tendency to endlessly simulate how we think something is going to unfold. The unexpected nature of Aquarius is not always negative. In fact it is designed to surprise us with how good things can be once we let go of our vise grip on how we know it is. Turns out we know very little. Aquarius uproots us from prejudice, bias, and conditioning. This is real freedom.

We don’t know how anything is going to unfold. We cannot deny the possibility that everything will unfold for the highest good. We also cannot deny that we have to work to achieve this vision. Aquarius is not a passive vessel, but a force in action. What do you need to do? What are you going to do?

The mantra for Aquarius is I know. The paradox of this electric constellation is that freedom from “knowing,” rather than the quest for knowledge accumulation, is the real objective.

As an air sign, Aquarius is also about communication. The water bearer is synonymous with change and movement. He is the activist, the daredevil, the revolution. With steady voice and action, we rise higher. Visualize change for the better.

truth ~ clarity ~ communication ~ righteousness ~ participation ~ illumination

Psychic and physical energy increase significantly at every full moon. This is felt not just the day of, but for days before and after. Emotions and intuition will be heightened.
