Saturday, AUGUST 9

The Full Moon occurs early today, at 3:56 AM EDT, when the Leo Sun opposes the Aquarius Moon.

This Full Moon marks a time of culmination. The Leo Sun is proud and intensely individual, not content with being just one of the team. The Aquarius Moon, while also individualistic, values independence and the team, community, and group spirit. With the Leo Sun in opposition to the Aquarius Moon, the Full Moon shines a light on this conflict.

When a Full Moon occurs, it can lead to proclamations and outpours that are raw. It also brings to light feelings, attitudes, and circumstances that have been buried or overlooked. This is a time to awaken to the need for others or to respond to humanitarian impulses.

Because this Full Moon occurs close to Mars opposing Saturn and Neptune, we should be wary of trickery and deceit that may lead us astray, and instead, stay true to our path. This steadfastness will guide us towards our desired outcomes.

This Full Moon also occurs with Venus applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, offering us much promise and hope. A desire to enjoy ourselves or grow our relationships can be motivators now. Our need for love and affection runs high.

Mars opposes Neptune today, which can be an initially devitalizing influence. It’s difficult to pinpoint our desires or the route to their fulfillment, and we may question our goals and temporarily feel uninspired.

Currently, taking time off, working quietly, or doing something primarily for the benefit of others without concern for personal gain is favored. We should try to squash urges to escape essential responsibilities or to play victim or savior.

However, if we’ve overlooked our needs for rest or spiritual nourishment, it’s time to make plans to bring our lives into a better balance.

While there can be some uncertainty as we sort between fact and fiction, events and realizations occurring now can get us in touch with what may be missing in our lives.

The Moon is void from 3:56 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to the Sun), until the Moon enters Pisces the next day, on Sunday, August 10th, at 2:51 AM EDT.
