On Monday, August 19 at 2:26 PM ET, the full moon will peak at 17 degrees Aquarius, a sign associated with asymmetrical haircuts, revolutionary ideals, stars that glow in the dark, tentacular erotica, and utopian dreams .
Expect the unexpected, folks.
This full moon is both a super moon and a blue moon – and it’s coming in hot and bright to shine a twinkling light on any aspect of our lives where we’ve failed to correct and/or contribute to improvement. to others. .
Aquarius is ruled by both Saturn, the god of challenge, and Uranus, the lightning-ridden change agent. In this sense, the energy of this moon is forcing us to change our challenges to better suit our personal evolution.
Make sure your fight is fair, dig?
The full moon in Aquarius stands opposite the sun in Leo. The two are forming an exact (and very good!) square to Uranus, the planet of sudden changes and rude awakenings.
It won’t be gentle, but it will be helpful – known as the T-square, this aspect is something of a benevolent bully, escalating certain conditions so that we are forced to take action, initiate change, deprogram and otherwise break free and live the truth.
Because the companion planet Uranus is the central planet here, we must look for unusual and always radical solutions to our concern.
These energies also suggest that we will feel that we will be served surprises, bombs and sudden changes of fortune. It’s in our best interest to respond to boredom with innovation—and to resist the urge to dig, lament, or solve problems with established patterns.
Greet the chaos with a kiss on the tongue, instead of a raised fist.
Moon opposite Mercury retrograde
Funnily enough, the full moon is also opposing Mercury, currently retrograde in Leo, encouraging antagonism and widening the gap between the rational and the emotional, with reason being lost to reaction.
As Moon Omens puts it, “We may find ourselves attaching strongly to one side, rejecting the validity of the other, or projecting our prejudices onto those around us… We may feel more rigid and less open to compromise . It is essential to recognize this tendency and try to integrate intellectual knowledge with emotional information.”
If we allow it, this star dish can illustrate how discourse can be the first step on the road to mutual benefit.
In a sense, this clever astrological weather is not testing us – but preparing us to receive.
What is a supermoon?
A supermoon is sexier shorthand for what astrologers call a perigee full moon, where the full moon looks brighter, bolder and better because it’s at its closest point in its orbit to Earth elliptical.
Supermoons exceed the disk size of the average moon by approximately 8% and can appear 16% brighter.
As full moons rise, they bring to the surface issues, emotions, intestinal parasites, menstruation and other sticky situations that require attention.
A supermoon, because of its proximity, increases these effects; it’s more revealing and more feeling, people.
Which zodiac signs will be affected the most?
Because this full moon falls in a fixed sign, the fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will feel these effects most acutely.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Prepare for impact in your career, Taurus – shake-ups and breakthroughs can send you out the door or push you further up the proverbial ladder. Make sure you’re climbing for a cause beyond coins, baby bull.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
For Leo, look for the light to shine and the shadows to shout in your relationships. Are you in a state of mutual growth and anticipation – or are you just getting high on the smoke of being liked? How can you use the power of attraction to help and foster collaboration?
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpio, your fourth house of home and history, is lit up by this full moon. Keep an eye out for conflict related to your family of origin—and/or repressed childhood trauma—to come back into your awareness. Remember that forgiveness is the most radical act of courage you can do.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarius, this full moon will enter your first house of self and identity, which means the skin suit of who you were may be due for a refresh. You may feel overwhelmed with emotion this full moon, not a place you particularly like to be, but if you can push through the wreckage, you’ll find yourself on a much better shore than before.
When is the next full moon in 2024?
The next full moon will rise and shine on Tuesday September 17, 2024 in the sign of Pisces. This full moon will also be a supermoon, and because of its proximity to the fall equinox, it will be a harvest moon!

The next blue moon will shine on May 31, 2026, in the sign of Sagittarius.
