Full Moon in Aquarius
The Full Moon in Aquarius occurs on the 19th August, 2024 at 27 degrees of Aquarius, making a T-square to Uranus in Taurus.
I’ve had mixed feelings about this full moon, but what I’ve come to understand is that Uranus and Saturn are guiding this energy. Let’s unpack this…Uranus can bring unexpected events, encounters, changes, disturbances, endings or beginnings. Saturn demands poise, discipline and structure.
The unexpected nature of Uranus during this full moon seems to be confirming what the sun is highlighting and the moon is revealing. While Saturn in Pisces is forcing a reminder to re-stabilize ones mental and emotional peace amidst the apparent chaos.
While the square between Uranus and the Sun/Moon often means conflict or tension, which it certainly can show up as for some. For others it can be the necessary catalyst to liberate oneself, wherever freedom is being called at this time.
If you’re able to use the teachings of Saturn to help you practice boundaries, discipline and emotional regulation while it travels through watery Pisces, then rather than this full moon becoming a whole production in your story, it can be a slight crease in your bigger journey through the cosmos.
