Super Full Moon in Aquarius
Call for Radical Change
A Super Full Moon will be forming in the sign of Leo and Aquarius on Monday, August 19 at 11:26 am PT. The Sun will be shining at 27° of Leo and the Moon will receive the light from the Sun at the opposite side at 27° of Aquarius.
The axis of Leo & Aquarius represents the dynamic interplay between the creative individual self and our collective unconventional ideals.
The Sun in Leo is also exactly conjunct the asteroid Vesta and only 1° from the planet Mercury. The asteroid Vesta is archetypally known as the devotional crone energy that burns inside us. When Vesta is in Leo, she reminds us of our commitment to creative endeavors and personal development. She has the power to bring out the loyal and devout leader who radiates in each of us. Vesta can be a bridge builder between Leo's artistic self and Aquarius' commitment to serve the collective.
Just one day before the Full Moon, the Sun was exactly conjunct Mercury at 26°, a Mercury Cazimi. Even though Mercury is currently retrograde, when the Sun & Mercury meet, this can be a time of clarity, heightened intuition, and creative solutions in the thick of a more reflective retrograde time. (For example, I received a vivid dream during this transit that helped me understand different parts of my psyche that I wasn't able to fully see in the last few weeks of Mercury Rx.)
One of the most striking elements of this Full Moon is the role of Uranus, the exoteric ruler of Aquarius and The Great Awakener! Uranus is forming an exact T-Square to the Full Moon, which means that Uranus plays a crucial role in resolving the tension between the Sun in Leo & the Moon in Aquarius. Uranus might be surprising us with unexpected events, radical changes, and liberation. This is the time for unconventional solutions and defying traditional ways.
There's not just one T-Square on this Full Moon, but two T-Squares! Showing us again how this Full Moon is full of surprises 😉 (see images below)
The second T-Square is an opposition between Venus at 18° of Virgo and Saturn at 17° of Pisces, with the apex of Jupiter & Mars at 17-19° of Gemini. Venus in Virgo opposing Saturn in Pisces calls attention to our spiritual discipline and the purification of our desires. Jupiter and Mars at the apex can bring up many new lessons, and we might feel like we're in an expedited learning process.
