What is a full moon?

A full moon is a lunar event that occurs when the Sun directly opposes the Moon. A Full Moon will always occur when the Sun and Moon are in their polar opposite signs. In this case, the polar signs are Leo and Aquarius. Leo represents the inner desires of the individual, Aquarius represents the higher desires of the collective.

A full moon is also the lunar phase where the moon is most visible. It is fully illuminated and appears to be “full.” However, this is due to the Earth and the Sun's position in alignment with the Moon. From a spiritual and esoteric perspective the full moon represents a time where our internal intentions are made visible for all to see. This is why the Full Moon is known as the point of tension where our manifestations reach their highest peak.

August 2019 Full Moon in Aquarius

On Thursday morning, August 15, 2019, at 8:29 AM EST the Full Moon in Aquarius, also known as the Sturgeon Moon, Fruit Moon, Grain Moon, and Corn Moon will directly oppose the Sun in Leo. The Full Moon will occur at 22 Aquarius 24’. This illumination is will highlight a physical manifestation from the previous Aquarius New Moon six months ago in February. Look back and analyze where you were then, what you were thinking, desiring, manifesting. Now come back to the present and be whole where you are.

The Aquarius Full Moon is a time of divination and foresight into the future of our collective energy. It is a time where we are to emotionally step away from what we see and perceive, and integrate it into higher waves of ascension through the divine. This manifestation can show up in social work, justice work, humanitarian work, philanthropic work, technology work, lbgtq work, ecological work, anything that focuses on empowering and uplifting Gaia (mother Earth) and her children towards a higher future.

During this period many of us will be more inclined to gather with like minds in small personal crowds. We will have a deep desire to be surrounded by those we love, trust, and understand us from a unique soul view. Do not be afraid to step outside the box and express a more esoteric version of who you are. However, we should be mindful of any judgement expressed towards those who do not carry our same beliefs or lifestyle. If not expressed consciously this energy can heighten feelings of isolation and depletion. Lost souls should be mindful of their ability to drift and move into darker currents of energy. This is a time to connect and expand through the higher mind. Do not isolate yourself now.

The Aquarius Moon will oppose Venus and Mars in Leo. The influence of this aspect will contribute to a boiling point for most relationships, especially the one with ourselves. Instead of denying anything that holds you back from expressing your truth and sharing it with others, air it out, expose it, let it be known so that you can move forward. The only one holding you back is you.

The Full Moon in Aquarius is also a great time for teachers, influencers, light bringers of the future. Awakened beings should expect to be called forth to share their light in new bountiful ways. The time of the enlightened ones are now. Step out in grace.
