Full Moon in Aquarius—
Walk the path of authenticity within
the playground of creation!
The sensitive Moon in futuristic Aquarius opposes the brilliant Sun in playful Leo at 25 degrees on the morning of August 18, 2016, (4:27 a.m., CDT). Uranus at 24 degrees Aries is in favorable aspect to this lunation so expect the unexpected—but in a good way! The challenge at each full moon is to balance the opposing needs of our ego (Sun) with the desires of our soul (Moon). With this configuration, the Sun shining through the filter of Leo wants us to stand out from the crowd and be noticed as special with it’s “Look-at-me, Ma!” playful attitude. The forward-thinking Aquarian Moon insists that everyone is special—connected at the soul level—as we add our unique contributions to the vast playground of creation.
As ruler of Aquarius, rebellious Uranus has significant influence at this full moon, encouraging us to break free of any self-imposed restrictions to express our true essence, and use our most innovative gifts to bring the collective soul to a higher level of consciousness. Uranus and the Moon in Aquarius may bring “lightning-like” intuitive flashes of awareness, waking us from lethargic complacency to help bring our hopes and dreams back to life.
Venus in Virgo is sending kisses to Pluto in Capricorn at this lunation. Venus rules love, art and money, so we may experience transformations in our relationships or our earning ability as intense, passionate, emotions, or power-hungry, manipulative agendas are revealed. Creativity is powerfully expressed in art, music or poetry with this aspect. Mars is moving toward a conjunction with Saturn in Sagittarius on August 24th, activating the Saturn/Neptune square. Reality may explode into our awareness, forcing us to take aggressive, disciplined action to solve any problems that might appear. Passions are running hot this month. We have a choice—make love, art or war! Hopefully, we will choose the peaceful option.
Mercury joins Jupiter in Virgo forming a “Yod” configuration with the Moon in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries. The Yod, known as the “Finger of God or Fate” in astrology, occurs when two planets 60 degrees (or sextile) from each other also form a triangular shaped inconjunct aspect to a third planet 150 degrees away. Jupiter and Mercury at the apex of this Yod have a spiritual message to deliver. We are called to break free from rigid thinking and inflexible belief systems to join energies at the collective soul level as we collaborate to create a world that is free from fear, hate, prejudice, and self-serving behavior. We are called to live our truth from a place of authenticity as we work to serve the greater good.
Venus will be joining Jupiter later in the month to bless us with an increase in abundance and harmony. With support from Venus, Mercury and Jupiter, we can dream a new world into being. Our collective energies can help create a new world based on truth, hope and love. Our visions must include service to humanity, where the needs and beliefs of the many are honored as much as the needs of the one, leading us toward a more enlightened spiritual path. A path paved with love, compassion and abundance for all living things!
