THE DAILY PLANET ~ SUNDAY AUGUST 22ND: Blessings of the Full Moon in Aquarius to All! This morning at 8:02 AM EDT, the Full Moon illuminates Aquarius for the second time this summer, a phenomenon referred to as an astrological Blue Moon. The last Full Moon in Aquarius, back in July was in the early degrees of the sign, while this one comes at the tail end of the sign, indicating that all things Aquarius (and Leo) are ripening and coming to emotional fullness and actual fruition.

Aquarius, the sign of liberty, equality and fraternity, is the sign associated with humanity, freedom and systems of government that are founded on the consent of the governed, and protect the rights of the governed. Aquarius also rules our friendships, social lives and collaborations, all of which are in the lunar spotlight today.

In today’s Full Moon chart cast for Washington DC, the national chart, the Full Moon is traveling with massive Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius, amplifying the emotional themes of freedom or the lack thereof. The Full Moon is in the sector of health, work and attention to detail, bringing to light both where our social lives need healing, along with where the mechanics of our civil rights and how to enforce them require review. It’s a perfect Full Moon to reflect on authentic community, soulful collaborations, group efforts and our unalienable human rights.

The Aquarius Full Moon is being illuminated by the Leo Sun, shining in the spiritual sector of the chart. Illuminating our sacred dreams, inspired creative visions and our hearts true calling. The Sun in the 12th house may also indicate that all is not as it seems or as it is being presented, and discernment is required to tell truth from falsehood this full moon. 

The greatest lies to unravel and be free of, as the Moon illuminates the sign of Higher Truth and freedom are usually but not always, the ones we tell ourselves, or have swallowed over time till they become second nature. We will have a great deal of planetary assistance in discerning truth from falsehood with Mars and Mercury both in Virgo, conjunct the Virgo Ascendant of this Full Moon chart. Mercury and Mars are opposed by Neptune in Pisces in the partnership sector of the chart echoing the theme of the Sun in the spiritual sector, inspiring us to act on the logistics of shared dreams with open eyes that Seek Divine Guidance, rather than falling into patterns of self deception within relationships.

Venus in Libra in the identity sector of the chart, is calling us to embody the beauty and fairness we desire in partnerships, while Chiron the healer in Aries, calls us to actively face and heal our attachment patterns. Meanwhile Pluto retrograde in Capricorn calls us to review childhood patterns that no longer serve us, while calling us back to works of art we are committed to. 

Saturn in the same sector in Aquarius, also retrograde, calls us back to our authentic self and the freedom of expression that requires commitment to our personal and collective liberty. Uranus the planet of freedom is in the philosophical sector, helping us break the chains of false beliefs that bind us, while the North Node in Gemini indicates that clear rational thinking is our best friend as we struggle for the freedom to be who we were always meant to be.

It’s an especially good Full Moon for meditation, to elevate our consciousness and join Luna in the higher frequencies of Aquarius, where falsehoods cannot survive. With five retrograde planets we may also encounter revelations, delays and set backs that postpone or delay developing plans. Trust the process as plans dreams and greater liberation unfolds by the Light of the Aquarius Full Moon.

Later today at  5:35 PM EDT, the Sun leaves radiant Leo for the year and heads into gorgeous pristine Virgo, putting the solar spotlight on our healing journey and the details of life that support our health, success and inspired dreams.
