A FULL MOON happens on AUGUST 20, 2024 (2:25 AM, Philippine Time), at exactly 27°15′ minutes in the realm of fixed air, AQUARIUS, the sign of the water bearer.

Full Moon periods invite a moment of reflection and realization. As the Moon reaches its peak, fully illuminated by the Sun, it sheds light on our inner emotions, bringing hidden feelings to the surface. This is a time to gain insights and receive revelations that guide us forward, as the universe offers us a chance to reassess our standing and make adjustments, if necessary. Under the soft glow of this full moon, truths will emerge, helping us see the path ahead more clearly.

The brightest night of the month has reached us once more, dear reader, with Luna gliding through the night sky, adorned in her full splendor! This is A RARE BLUE SUPERMOON, making the energy more potent! For the next couple of days, we find ourselves enveloped in a moment of culmination and realization, as we contemplate on necessary endings that create space for new beginnings. The Moon reaches her full illumination in the cool, objective, detached realm of fixed air: Aquarius, the sign of freedom.

Aquarius, ruled by Saturn, embodies the qualities of wisdom, discipline, and a commitment to collective progress. Traditionally, it values structure, responsibility, and long-term vision, particularly in the context of societal advancement. In the modern sense, Aquarius retains these traits but with a focus on radical individuality. Guided by its internal compass, Aquarius values originality and unique perspective, independent of external opinions. This self-assurance allows it to offer something new and transformative to the collective, not seeking approval to define its identity, but rather defining itself first and then contributing its innovations for the benefit of society as a whole.
This lunation amplifies these themes wherever it lands in our charts, encouraging us to assess our contributions to society, the networks we’ve built, and the innovative ideas we’ve pursued, without giving up our autonomy and our jurisdiction over our own selves. It is a call to examine our goals with a thoughtful and responsible approach, to refine our strategies, and to commit to the path of thoughtful innovation and societal growth, without compromising our freedom and independence.
Such a noble endeavor, indeed! However, dear reader, this energy is fraught with electric tension, delicately balancing on the border of creation and destruction. The line between progress and setback is razor-thin, and without careful navigation, what we anticipate as improvement could swiftly turn into unforeseen chaos!
FRICTION WITH URANUS

On one hand, this lunation exchanges tense, almost argumentative conversations with URANUS, the planet of surprises and unexpected events. Uranian squares to the Moon are generally volatile, but when they land in sensitive areas in your chart, they can feel almost visceral, eliciting knee-jerk reactions that often necessitate some clean-up in the aftermath. This tension feels like a live wire, sparking unpredictable emotions and sudden shifts in direction.
Erratic sentiments may arise, leading to more impulsive or rebellious reactions. This might lead to unexpected decisions or changes in personal relationships, especially if we feel constrained or restricted! Daily routines could be disrupted, leading to a need to adapt quickly to changing circumstances wherever this energy lands in our individual charts.
PUSH and PULL with MERCURY

On the other hand, Luna also converses with MERCURY, the planet of communication and intellect. With Mercury in LEO, a sign drawn to acclaim and external validation, we may collectively feel the need to please the group or the collective. This drive to keep things moving forward might push us to act, even if we’re not entirely sure how we truly feel about the endeavor. Stressful interactions may arise, leading to confusion and frustration, as we may find ourselves pretending to be indifferent when things don’t go our way, all while downplaying the true importance of the situation.

As we navigate the complex and challenging energy of this lunation, it’s essential to embrace the dynamic interplay between stability and change, autonomy and collaboration, and tradition and innovation. The tension between Uranus and the Moon invites us to be mindful of our emotional reactions and to channel the unpredictable energy into constructive change rather than chaos. Meanwhile, the influence of Mercury in Leo urges us to communicate authentically, resisting the easy temptation to conform merely for the sake of approval.
By recognizing the delicate balance between these cosmic forces, we open our hearts to the potential for growth and transformation. Embrace your individuality, dear reader, and as much as possible, honor your unique contributions with a calm, considered mindset! We are likely to hit emotional turbulence these next couple of days, and it helps to remember that this period offers a rare opportunity to redefine our paths and strengthen our resolve to stay true to ourselves while meaningfully contributing to the collective.
Trust in your ability to navigate the fine line between progress and setbacks, and have faith in the wisdom you’ve gathered through life to guide you through this time of profound possibility! You got this! 💪🏼
