Full Moon in Aquarius August 2024
The full moon in Aquarius on Monday 19th August at 19.25 BST, brings tense and complex energy. The cosmos is in constant flux and as the moon moves to oppose the sun in Leo, we have the interplay of multiple opposing and tense energies swirling in the cosmic field.
With the sun in square aspect to Uranus, there is the potential for sudden unexpected events. Tensions and collective anger are already high with Mars (associated with anger and aggression) still in close conjunction with Jupiter which has an amplifying and expansive energy.
We are all being affected by opposing energies and forces. Under the Mars, Jupiter conjunction we have a desire for expansion and progress in our lives but with Saturn squaring both Mars and Jupiter we may be blocked or constrained by a situation, a person or perhaps a hard lesson that has come back around again. Saturn is also in opposition to Venus and with Venus squaring Mars, it suggests we may experience some tension in our relationships. With emotions already running high under the full moon and our collective feelings of restriction and frustration, this is a cocktail of difficult energy.
A radically different and better future for us may be on the other side of this full moon but in order to get there, we are being called to end or let go of something that we have been holding on to. At a personal level, it could be that we mentally need to let go of our past in order to prepare ourselves for a different future.
Changes occurring at this time will likely impact us all at a collective level. With the opposing forces of contraction and expansion, sudden eruptions, unexpected events and surprising incidents may make global news. Changes can definitely be expected and whatever occurs at this time will likely impact all of us at a collective level.
The fragmented abstraction in this painting seems to show a deconstruction of the forces of the cosmos and the complexity of the energy at this time.
