there is a Full Moon in the friendly, social and subversive sign of Aquarius.
Just like with any Full Moon, this one too calls for striking the right balance
between two opposing forces. In this case, the balance is relatively easy to be
struck: with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in the sign it rules, Leo, the
basic need for sociability and extroversion (Moon in Aquarius) can be served by
goals related to play, recreation and creativity (Sun in Leo). After all, the
August holiday season starts, so some fun moments with friends seem to be
favoured by this Full Moon.
Also, the fact that the Full Moon axis receives no
basic Ptolemaic aspects, along with the fact that most planets are retrograde,
reveals that not only are there few things going on but also the things that
are going on move at a very slow pace. Due
to the recent retrogradation of Venus the delays are related to money and
present several complications because of Venus’ involvement in the
Jupiter-Saturn square but the reunion with people we haven’t seen in a long
time is also favoured. Despite the slower pace of life and the complications,
Mars’ return within the bounds marks officially the return to the normality of
our activities which very timidly began at the previous New Moon. Finally, the
fact that the Full Moon axis falls on a critical degree ruled by Mercury
reveals the crucial role that travels, communications and humour will play in
our need to combine socializing and recreation (Leo-Aquarius axis). Enjoy the
Full Moon and the August holidays!
