Full Moon in Aquarius
On August 9th 2025 (7:55am BST) a Full Moon at 16º Aquarius will illuminate the sky, shedding light on what has been healed, integrated, transformed, and released over the past six months and what, perhaps, still needs to.
In opposition to the Sun in Leo, this lunation will begin by pulling focus on the personal vs the impersonal, the internal vs the external, and individual needs vs those of the collective’s, asking that you find the midpoint in order to create harmony.
Thus, can you utilise this time to acknowledge if there are areas of your life whereby you are giving too much, taking too little, or overly focusing on external issues, to the cost of your own health and happiness.
Or perhaps you are the one neglecting the opportunity to be of service to others, hyper-focusing on your own internal dilemmas or agendas, at the cost of your connection to those around you.
In either case, with Mercury Rx in Leo (due to station direct a few days later on August 11th) in opposition to Pluto Rx in Aquarius and square to Chiron Rx in Aries, it’s time to reconsider the ways in which you’ve been operating, asking, are you truly at peace with yourself or do you feel a subtle sense of pervading powerlessness that seems to keep you in a contestant state of fear, lack, or negativity.
If you find it to be the latter, then you may do well to ponder on your heart’s deepest desires, asking, what wounding is getting in the way when it comes to your pursuit of happiness. Do you truly believe yourself worthy - of love, joy, abundance - or are there certain beliefs blocking your way.
As a culmination point for the energies that emerged with the New Moon in Aquarius, back on January 29th, the Universe is asking you to unravel the unconscious mind, so as to make conscious that which has been merely a hindrance to you of late. As such, it requests that you willingly enter the murkier depths of your own shadow, so as to expose that which needs expelling in order to finally liberate yourself from the binds.
Supporting you in the process will be a Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Cancer (exact August 12th), pushing extensively for EXPANSION, especially when it comes to your sense of joy, abundance, prosperity, growth, and emotional well-being.
Thus, when it comes to your relationships you may find yourself searching for a deeper sense of connection with those that nurture your soul and feel like family. Whilst your desire for comfort and security may have you initiating change and taking action in response to opportunities that arise that bring you closer to what you want and where you want to be.
As the last Full Moon before Eclipse Season begins on September 7th, this is a good time to clarify the vision before those powerful portals for manifestation appear.
Accordingly, with the Jupiter-Venus conjunction caught in a t-square with Mars in Libra and Neptune exactly conjunct Saturn in Aries, when it comes to your dreams, can you decipher for yourself what is reality and what is simply an illusion. And in doing so, can you prepare yourself for the genuine work required in order to bring ideas to life.
Considering, which collaborations are best aligned with your intention and values. What structures need to be assembled in order to support the energies of what you intend to build. And how you can best advocate for yourself when it comes to maintaining your autonomy and vision.
With ruling planet Uranus, presently in Gemini, situated at the helm of this chart aspecting many key planets, you are encouraged, if not implored, to embrace a radical new way of thinking. One that is unconventional and unique to you. In the understanding that new things can’t be done with old ways.
May you discover a new vantage point.
