We have a
super full moon in 18 degrees of Aquarius at 2:09 p.m. on Sunday, August 10th
but I would wager that many people have been feeling the effects of this one
for several days due to Saturn in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. A super full
moon occurs when the moon's closest approach to the earth coincides with the
phase of the full moon, making the moon appear to be bigger and brighter. This
is the biggest, brightest one of the year. The Native Americans called this
full moon the Sturgeon Full Moon due to the abundant catches of large fish
available in the Great Lakes. It can also cause stronger and fuller ocean tides
with increased potential for flooding. Is anyone else tired of watching the
news of floods across the country?
Anyway, back
to Saturn in Scorpio. No, folks, we can't escape its effects until December
23rd, when it FINALLY moves into
Sagittarius. Can you tell that I am an impatient Scorpio who is growing weary
of its testing and delays? On Monday, August 4th the moon in Scorpio
trined Chiron in Pisces and set the stage for healing. Chiron is in Pisces
until 2019. Saturn followed suit with a trine to Chiron in Pisces on Tuesday,
which prompted me to tweet:
"Deep
healing is a major theme today as Saturn in Scorpio trines Chiron in
Pisces."
This super
full moon will form a T-square to Saturn in Scorpio. It is very fixed energy
with lots of tension and the need for restructuring. Don't be surprised if some
stuck energies wind up begging to see the light of day and be healed! The
themes with this aspect are closure and completion because Saturn in Scorpio
deals with karma and endings.
The pace of
the prelude to this full moon intensifies on August 8th when Mercury in Leo
squares Saturn in Scorpio and inconjuncts Chiron in Pisces. Granted, we do have
a lovely conjunction between the Sun and Mercury in Leo on the 8th, but it
doesn't totally mitigate the tension caused by these aspects. On August 9th the
Sun follows suit and squares Saturn and inconjuncts Chiron. The bottom line
with these inconjuncts to Chiron is that adjustments need to be made between
the ego and spirituality.
This full
moon in Aquarius can be a wake-up call that delivers insight like the
proverbial Uranus ruled bolt of lightning. We have the opportunity to break
through our own self-imposed blockages and breathe some fresh air. Aquarius is,
after all, an air sign. We also need to be mindful that the full moon opposing
Mercury and squaring Saturn can cause unreasonable demands, impatience and
tension.
It is a time
for radical thinking and the full moon in Aquarius squaring Saturn in Scorpio
forces us to ground that electrical radical charge of energy to have it
manifest in our lives. It is definitely time to think outside of the box.
Freedom is a major theme, but don't hesitate to reach out to friends and groups
with like-minded ideas to pursue alternative methods of healing. Anyone need
some Reiki? I have some openings next week!
As for me
this full moon falls at the very end of my 4th house conjunct my Mars. So I
have no doubt that this one will affect me in a big way and I need to heed my
own advice about being mindful of the tensions and impatience that will
undoubtedly occur. But that full moon is literally seconds away from the cusp
of my 5th house, so I prefer to focus on its ability to remove any blockages to
my creativity.
