Full Moon in Aquarius
It’s said that no two Aquarians are the same. Individuals born under this sign often resolutely refuse to admit that they have anything in common with one another.
Yet, if there’s one quality that threads through all Aquarians, it is the ability to stand out. To be wildly unpredictable, unusual and fascinating, whilst still remaining stoic, solid, and in a strange way, highly consistent. Being ruled by eclectic Uranus and structured Saturn creates what Aquarius is known for – their contradictory nature.
Thus, it’s fitting that this Aquarius Full Moon on August 19, is exactly that – unpredictable, inconsistent, and impossible to pin down. Exactly square Uranus, it’s a Full Moon that takes perverse delight in the shocking, in the unexpected, in the sudden turn of events, decisions, and situations. For as much as Aquarius likes to make the rules, they love breaking them even more.
What rules are being broken for you during this wild lunation? What’s coming undone? More importantly, what is this creating space for?
Change is stressful for even the most adaptable among us. Aquarius, as a fixed sign, likes a certain level of predictability, which is why this sign rules Astrology. Ask any Aquarian, and they will tell you with a certain amount of confidence what will happen tomorrow and the next day, as well as a million years from now. This sign is a true visionary. They’re a thousand steps, a million light years, ahead of the rest of us. Unfortunately, this often leaves Aquarius in the position of town crier and black sheep. The one rejected by society as ‘too weird’, ‘outlandish’, ‘eccentric’. In this time, as we immerse ourselves in the Age of Aquarius, these tendencies become more and more revered as prophecy, as gifts.
So, what are the gifts of this Full Moon for us? Did we see it coming? How did we make provision? How have we been surprised? What is demanding more freedom, more open-mindedness from us? Who are our people? Is this tribe ours, or do we belong elsewhere? How are we shifting the narrative of a future that we once thought was ours, but is now turning out to be something rather different? How can we embrace progression? Move out of our molds? Break free, once and for all?
Our nervous systems may be spinning at this time, with questions of self-worth come up. Self-care is connecting to earth. Here, we ground the electricity swimming and surging in our systems. Self-love is non-negotiable. We can. We will. We are more than capable. Connecting the intellectual brilliance of Aquarius with the warm-hearted passion of the Sun in Leo will bring us back to center. Friend and family are equally important. We don’t have to choose. The future and the present collide right here, right now, in this one magical, wild, cosmic moment, within both our hearts and our wild-out there souls.
