On Saturday August 09 we have a Full Moon at 16 degrees of Aquarius. Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs and often are time to bring balance or make a choice between two opposites. In this case the Sun is in Leo, a fixed fire sign. Leo season is about creativity, fun and self expression, but can also lead us to be excessively focused on the self. The Full Moon in Aquarius asks us to think about the wider community and what we can do to be part of the whole. It asks us to not just focus on our goals and needs but on what is good for the collective and all of humanity. The Full Moon in Aquarius is a great time to find a way to use our uniqueness and ability to shine to benefit others. Ask yourself how you can use your leadership skills and creativity to help and inspire others.

This Aquarius Full Moon is unaspected to the other planets (besides the Sun), but it is important to note that on this day Mars will be aspecting the outer planets of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Mars moves into Libra on August 06 and then shortly after forms a trine to Uranus in Gemini, on the 8th, an opposition to Saturn and Neptune in Aries on the 9th and a trine to Pluto in Aquarius on the 10th. These planets from a kite formation that is associated with challenges that force us to get creative and do things differently. In this kite, Mars in Libra opposite Saturn and Neptune in Aries forms the challenge. Mars wants to take action particularly towards peace and diplomacy, while Saturn in Aries brings in old conflicts and Neptune causes there to be confusion and disinformation. We may feel like our best efforts are being thwarted at every turn. The good news is that Uranus and Pluto are providing support to us. Uranus in Gemini brings us inspiration and genius ideas, including new technology to help us attack the problem from a different angle. While Pluto in Aquarius is the power of the collective to push towards a resolution that benefits everyone.
The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is "A Watchdog Standing Guard". I think this symbol is apt given the Mars opposition with Saturn and Neptune in Aries. We are asked to remain on guard this Full Moon against illusion and disinformation. Is someone trying to pull the wool over our eyes or appeal to our ego? Are there people trying to convince us that something is not possible because they are used to the old ways of doing things? There may be those that have an interest in getting us to fight with one another rather than in promoting peace and unity. The Sabian Symbol of the Watchdog reminds us to be loyal and true to our values and to listen to our intuition. If something doesn't feel right that's because it isn't. Don't be afraid to speak out in benefit of the whole.
