Buckle up, because August 19, 2024, brings us a Blue Super Full Moon in Aquarius at 27º14’, and there is no doubt that this one will be a game changer. This isn’t your average Full Moon, this one comes supercharged with electrifying change. Think quantum leaps, awakenings, and shake-ups that will change everything. This is a time of REVOLUTION!
So, why is this Full Moon so special? Well, it's special, because it’s the third Full Moon of the season (Summer in the Northern Hemisphere), during which we’ve got a rare lineup of four Full Moons. And when the polarities of Leo and Aquarius come together, the vibe is all about self-expression, creativity, innovation, breaking free from limitations, and following your heart. This lunar event brings clarity, inspiration, and maybe a little chaos, but it's necessary and will get things moving in the right direction.
This Full moon is also about our relationship with technology, the internet, and social media—asking us to consider how these impact our quality of life and wellbeing. It puts issues front and center encouraging us to reflect on our screen time, social media habits, and reliance on technology. It’s a chance to break free from unhealthy patterns and gain clarity on how we want to engage with both people and technology in the future.
The Ultimate Cosmic Face-Off
Whenever there is a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are in opposition, and this month's battle is between Leo and Aquarius. There is a clash between individual expression and collective consciousness, self-interest, and community goals. Your creativity, your desires, and your need to shine are central to the Leo season. The Aquarius Full Moon, on the other hand, asks, "How does your contribution fit into the bigger picture?" How do you contribute to the greater good? This is a chance to look at the bigger picture, to see if you've been too caught up in your own world and missed out on what's going on around you. It's all about finding the right balance between following your own path and contributing to society.
T-Square Drama
Here’s where things get spicy. This lunar event is also part of a major cosmic showdown. And it feels like every planet is involved at this point.
Mars and Jupiter recently aligned in Gemini, which I wrote about in the previous article. However, they are both squaring off with Saturn, who is currently retrograde in Pisces.
In addition, for weeks, the Jupiter-Saturn square has been approaching and amplifying the tension between growth and responsibility. Their square is exact during the Full Moon. But, this is not just any square. This is Jupiter and Saturn's first major meeting since their 2020 Grand Conjunction. Now, since their meeting in 2020 was a conjunction, we can call this a first-quarter square.
A first-quarter square between planets is all about cosmic tension that drives growth. These squares happen when planets are 90º apart, creating friction that pushes you to take action. This is called the "crisis in action" phase when you must transform your vision into reality. It’s no longer about dreaming or living in fantasy-land, now it’s time to make things happen. Sure, this energy can feel uncomfortable, triggering frustration or resistance, but that’s the point. It challenges us to confront obstacles head-on and move forward, even when it’s tough.
Jupiter wants to say “yes” to everything, but Saturn is like, "Hey, you have all those prior commitments and responsibilities. You need to handle those and have patience. Don't cut corners or sidestep." So, while you walk through new doors of opportunities, you still need to find a balance to deal with lingering issues from the past. And this is the perfect time to deal with them because Saturn is retrograde. At least Gemini's influence will try to keep things light, versatile, and flexible, while Saturn drags us into deeper waters of reflection and maturity.
You can turn stress into success by using this tension as a tool. Focus on patience, consistency, discipline, and perseverance. Rethink your approach, balance optimism with caution, don't ignore past lessons, and find effective, practical ways to turn your visions into reality. Just like Chinese bamboo takes 5 years to grow above ground, some of our greatest visions take time.
Venus & Mars: The Rebirth of the Masculine and the Feminine
It's as if all of that weren't enough.
Venus and Mars also throw energy into the showdown. On August 22, these two squares will create a layer of relational tension. You can expect to feel this during the Full Moon. This square asks, How are your relationships holding up? Are you showing up the way you need to in your connections? Time to face those stubborn inner conflicts, and reevaluate how you relate to others and how your relationships need to evolve for your soul to grow.
Venus and Mars are reshaping us all in terms of wounded masculine and feminine energies. The collective is experiencing this radical change as we heal these sacred principles.
This is a deep psychological shift that is reshaping the way we connect with one another and form relationships.
