Super Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius ♒ Aug 1, 2023

The August full moon is called the Sturgeon Moon as it coincides with abundant fish catches. Moonrise at sunset, peak at midnight, moonset at sunrise all over the world. This is the second of 4 supermoons this year, all happening right in a row (July, 2 in August, 1 more in September).
Every year during Leo Season we gather beneath the full moon in change-maker Aquarius. I cannot overstate the unpredictable nature of Aquarius. Think about the most shocking moments of your life (both negative and positive) – that’s how unexpected Aquarius is. We should all be prepared for twists and turns in our personal lives. This is especially true for people with natal planets & points in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius.
There is no way to prepare for these events, which is both good and bad. We do need to be very cautious as this full moon will be locked in a T-square with the sun & Jupiter in Taurus. This is like getting your hopes up when you know it’s not going to work out – disappointing at best. On this same day, we also have a trine between Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Taurus as well as a sharp opposition between Mercury in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces.
The trine between Mars and Jupiter will actually be very helpful. We will experience excellent energy flow in the body and feel unusually awake. The opposition between Mercury and Saturn, on the other hand, indicates that our mental health will be in serious need of love and attention. This supermoon will bring out extreme feelings and shine a light on blockages we are currently experiencing. There is something intransigent which must be transmuted at this juncture. Some initial depression may arise but this should quickly pass into feelings of empowerment and self-knowledge. Keep the self-talk positive.
The Super Full Moon in Aquarius reminds us each year that we don’t really know how anything will unfold. We also cannot deny the possibility that everything might unfold for the best. We alone have the power to choose how we react to change. It is precisely this reaction which defines our path at this full moon. Aquarius is hardly a passive vessel. The key is action. So what do you need to do? What are you going to do?
As an air sign, Aquarius is associated with communication. We will be connecting with friends and loved ones who are far away (or from faraway places) at this full moon. We need to communicate how we feel about things and make sure our boundaries are nice and healthy.
With steady voice and action, we rise higher like the eagle Aquila.
change ~ truth ~ boundaries ~ clarity ~ knowledge ~ communication ~ illumination
Psychic and physical energy increase significantly at every full moon. This is felt not just the day of, but for days before and after. Emotions and intuition will be heightened.
If this Aquarian wind has you feeling ungrounded, come back to earth by meditating on the root chakra. Charge up with Aquarius Yoga. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
