Full Moon in Aquarius
On Monday, August 19 at 1:26pm CDT, we will experience the Full Moon in Aquarius. Aquarius rules community and humanitarianism, but also emphasizes individuality and evolution. With the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius, we are invited to be ourselves unapologetically.
This is a time for self-love, finding alignment with our true selves, and honoring others’ individuality. Rather than seeking approval from others, we are called to find approval within ourselves. This Full Moon asks us to show up with confidence and integrity as we share our truth.
The Full Moon in Aquarius offers us the opportunity to reflect upon the communities we are involved in, and to embrace our uniqueness and independence - allow yourself to let go of the need to live up to societal expectations, and release anything that is no longer serving you.
We are reminded of the power of connection, collaboration, and adding value to our communities. Contribute your unique gifts to the collective, and encourage others to do the same.
On the same day, we have a whole lot of other astrological transits happening. To start the day, Venus squares Jupiter, then opposes Saturn - we may feel a boost in creativity and confidence, but focus and discipline are in short supply.
The Sun and Moon both square Uranus in Taurus, which can shake things up and create a nervous, restless energy. Expect the unexpected, get grounded, and take care of your nervous system.
As Jupiter squares Saturn, we’re encouraged to find a balance between seeking expansion and taking care of our responsibilities . This transit may open our eyes to obstacles standing in the way of our success, and we are asked to evaluate how sustainable our goals are.
Overall, this is an action-packed day. We may feel anxious to take action, but delays and misunderstandings are likely. This is a time to be patient - stay flexible and open-minded.
