It’s a Full Blue Aquarius Moon on Monday, August 19
There’s power in numbers this Monday, August 19, as the year’s only full moon in collaborative, progressive Aquarius stokes camaraderie. And while this may sound implausible given the coincidental timing of the DNC, this actually IS a blue moon—a seasonal blue moon, meaning it’s the third in a season that has a rare quartet of full moons.
Whatever matters most to you, this activating lunar lift has a simple message: Get involved and make an impact! Champion a cause you care about. Speak up if you see an injustice. Teamwork gets a boost, but cosmic sidenote: Playing well with others doesn’t have to come at the cost of your individuality. La luna will be square trailblazing Uranus and trine energizer Mars, so turn up the dial on your personality.
Let the people who surround you fire up your mission and inspire you to speak out more. Make sure to give them due credit. What goes around comes around. But make sure your messaging is clear and salient before you start circulating companywide emails or posting on TikTok. The Summer 2024 Mercury retrograde in Leo is directly opposite this full moon, which could skewer communications and make them come off as inflammatory or unnecessarily divisive.
Brace yourself for a cosmic tug-of-war between Jupiter, Venus and Saturn
While the Aquarius full moon encourages us to experiment and innovate, there are a few cosmic forces running interference. Monday, August 19 also marks the opening Jupiter-Saturn square—the first major meeting these planetary titans have had since the December 21, 2020 Great Conjunction. (Remember the “Christmas Star”?)
Jupiter expands, Saturn contracts and when they put their energies together in Aquarius four years ago, they opened the doors to social change, AI and all the technological advances we are still trying to parse our way through now. Their 90-degree squares, which happen once a decade, are a bit more disruptive, since this odd-couple mashup is basically butting heads.
Disagreements could break out on Monday as outspoken Jupiter and stubborn Saturn lock horns. And since they’re in the “dual” signs of Gemini and Pisces, making a decision could feel nearly impossible! Conversations can get deadlocked quickly, as this planetary impasse makes people petty and passive aggressive. Regulate your energy instead of scattering it. Under these stars, it’s best not to spread yourself too thin or launch your ideas without a proper plan.
The one silver lining (if you could call it that) is that diplomatic Venus is running interference. As the peacekeeping planet opposes Saturn and squares Jupiter, she can help cooler heads prevail. Nevertheless, this cosmic trio is forming a complicated T-square, which is basically a three-way tug of war. Venus in Virgo could make people unnecessarily harsh and critical. Even if you’re giving honest feedback, you could do harm by being harsh or inconsiderate of people’s emotional states. When in doubt, keep it to yourself.
Virgo Season begins on Thursday, August 22 (10:55AM EDT)
Back to the simpler things! The Sun shifts out of high-wattage Leo and moves into Virgo. Collectively, it’s time to scale back during Virgo season, prioritize and bring efficiency to our lives. Living sustainably feels so much better than dripping in excess (even if the hedonism of the past four weeks was fun).
With el Sol in this nature-loving earth sign, squeeze some al fresco moments into these last four weeks of summer: bike rides to the beach, yoga in the park, lap swims in the saltwater pool. Then, bring some order to your court. From your storage systems to your project-management software, give everything a proper review.
With earthy Virgo ruling the skies, enjoy the harvest of fresh produce—all the better if it’s locally grown by independent farmers and rich with life-enhancing enzymes! Skip the fast-fashion specials and support brands with eco-conscious practices and production models.
But brace for a clash between lovebirds Venus and Mars on Thursday
Is a relationship veering off course? Thursday’s challenging dust-up between cosmic lovebirds Venus and Mars could bring a sharp wake-up call. With Venus in pragmatic Virgo, do your best to focus on solutions rather than pointing out your love interest’s “mistakes.” That could be difficult with Mars in Gemini turning the most basic conversations into mind-boggling debates.
If you’ve been stuck in a holding pattern, the dynamic Venus-Mars square motivates change. And it can be as simple as planning a long weekend trip instead of spending another night watching movies on the couch. Single? Spark up a conversation with an intriguing stranger. With Venus and Mars in mutable signs, you’d do well to stretch yourself outside what’s comfortable. This cosmic catalyst will get your heart racing again!
