The Full Moon will be exact at 10:26 on Thursday 18th August and although it falls slightly outside the astronomical guide of being termed a penumbral eclipse; it can be regarded as the first of this Autumn's eclipse season.
This is a lovely free-spirited full moon being in the rebellious and expressive sign of Aquarius and forming a soft and supportive sextile aspect to Uranus; the ruler of Aquarius which is currently moving retrograde at 24° Aries.
Fire and air signs will feel an uplift at this full Moon, whereas the more earthy and watery among us may not feel quite so comfortable with the unpredictable and creativity that the Aquarius energy brings.
In the UK chart we see this full Moon occurring in the; traditionally Leonine, creative 5th House, in close proximity to the erotic asteroid; Eros bringing the possibility of romance to those who have a planet around 25° Aquarius, or Leo, this equates to those born close 14th February and for Leos celebrating their birthday around this time.
It's certainly a perfect mid-Summer excuse to celebrate and fully enjoy a weekend with no worries or concerns (the Virgo new Moon in two weeks will provide plenty of opportunity for that!)
There is a more serious underlying tone to this chart though, as Mars creeps closer to Saturn in Sagittarius and asks us to take a moment to consider where and to whom we give most of our attention. With Saturn falling in the 3rd House of this chart, the recent political dramas are not forgotten and the backdrop of celebration is that some of us need to let our hair down and be frivolous because of the stress around us.
As always I'd like to encourage people to be concerned less about the negative, drone of media, somberness that we have no power to alter, and to switch our attention to that which is within our personal domain. I watch so many folk walking beneath metaphorical suitcases of other peoples' baggage and seemingly oblivious to the beauty and possibilities which are all around them.
You don't need to practice Buddhism to realise that happiness and gratitude and laughter can only e experienced in the moment.
Venus crossed the North Node a couple of days ago but in this chart is still pointing towards love and friendship being the key ingredients of life. With Aquarius being the sign of friendship, the emphasis of enjoying life and surrounding oneself with lovely people in the process, is reiterated.
There is a meditative side to also, with Mercury linking up with jubilant Jupiter in the 12th House of secrets and dreams. Predictive and prophetic dreams are very possible on the days surrounding this full Moon, so it's worth spending those few moment to wake up slowly and reflect on any messages which may have come through.
Passion is reinforced by Pluto's perfect trine to Venus and broadening the potential of romantic bonds being formed around this time to all. This week is a great time to be out and meeting new people, or reigniting bonds which need a little new life and rejuvenation. With Pluto exactly at the IC (home, hearth and family line) however there will be some surprises for some and changes for others. Pluto only removes that which is no longer required, but it can often feel like a great wrench and loss primarily. It would be naive for me to gloss over the potential for shocking events to occur at this time but with such supportive planets overall I'm hoping for a few good surprises and revelations which are more about love than loss.
Another side to Pluto is that of fate and karma; whilst these are words usually associated with Saturn, actually is the Pluto in our charts which predicts most of the life changing events. When noting Pluto in an angular position; as in this chart, it is important to consider that this is a time where what is meant to be is more likely. Astrologers have noted in the past that there is a 'soul mate' indication when Venus and Pluto link up together and this week could bring some very notable and life-changing encounters. When Aquarius and Uranus take centre-stage we can always expect the unexpected.
If any readers do experience some life changing events this week I would love to hear from you. ♥
Blessings, celebrations and peace to all~~~~
