The full moon in Aquarius is a time of great change and transformation since Aquarius is associated with innovation, independence, and humanitarianism. When under the influence of the Aquarius Full Moon, everyone has the air of an initiator about them, of someone who could actually bring real change to the world around. It may not be at such a grand scale, but it’s going to happen anyway, in their group of friends, or concerning work, a project they’ve begun with their colleagues. Some ideas they may come up with could prove to be revolutionary, something that no one else could have anticipated. The Full Moon in Aquarius is everyone’s occasion to make themselves remarked through endeavours that help their peers and that strengthen communities.
What’s the meaning of the Full Moon in Aquarius?
The Aquarius Full Moon is a lunar event that happens when the Moon is at its fullest point in Aquarius, opposite the Sun in Leo. Entertaining fire sign Leo always brings the party and community-conscious air sign Aquarius amplifies the energy.
So is this Full Moon one big lunar party? Not quite, though the fire and air collision certainly encourages plenty of pleasure, creativity and good times.
The Aquarius full moon is generally not as emotional as usual since Aquarius is a more detached air sign. This comes after the Capricorn full moon, another detached sign, so we're in a period with the full moons where we're not as caught up in our emotions. Aquarius is a true Utopian, in every sense of the word. With two feet firmly planted in the future, this is the sign of Hope and Faith. There’s always better coming, according to Aquarius.
This is the time we can get riled up with our independence and ability to be true to ourselves. Anywhere we feel we're being boxed in, we can push back against hard. This can lead to rebellion, and that can be good if it's focused and controlled; but can be bad if it's impulsive and reckless.
Aquarius governs change, so we may finalise changes we've been working on, finish plans for change, or sort through ideas for changes with this Aquarius full moon. We can see some results, which can help inform what we do next.
The Full Moon in Aquarius illuminates global issues, collective causes, political parties, sports teams, social networks and groups of all kinds. When we experience an Aquarius Full Moon it’s common to see drama in group situations. The singer leaves the band and goes solo or forms a new band. A new signing joins the football team, impacting the current lineup. The backbench politician starts a rebellion within his own party. One person’s crusade against global warming becomes a collective fight due to people power.
This is a time to contemplate your relationship to teamwork and to individual work. If you find that there are certain situations or teammates that are making it harder for you to find focus, it’s time to release those elements from your creative process.
We may see certain friendships and communities begin to bear fruit, particularly if we set out to connect with new groups that align with our own philosophies and ideologies. Maybe now, we can begin to see how fully ensconced we’ve become with said group. Yet, we may also see the opposite unfold, in which we remove ourselves from societies that no longer resonate or make us feel accepted. Both scenarios are a necessary part of our social evolution.
Of course, we need to keep in mind the Sun lies opposite the Moon in fiery, heart-centred Leo. The juxtaposition of Aquarius’s focus on the intellect and the future and Leo’s anchoring in the heart and the present, is something to ponder during this lunation. Balance is always important. With these two signs being what’s known as ‘fixed’ modalities, there is the potential that we get a little stuck between now and soon, between head and heart, between romance and friendship.
August's full moon is likely to bring you bliss, Aries. This lunation will ignite your social sector, bringing many friends into your circle. The future is looking nothing but fun-filled! This is a fabulous time to throw a party, attend a mixer or try building your social media network online. Better yet, if you're single, try to meet someone new through your acquaintances or perhaps, updating your dating profile.
Friends can be like family, which is why it’s important to embrace the people in your life that have stood by you as if they were family. After all, they’ve extended their arms to you when you’ve been in a moment of need — so it’s imperative for you to do the same when they come to you in a time of hardship.

Your intuition is extremely strong at the moment and you’re beginning to comprehend your emotions (as well as the feelings of others) on deep levels. The caveat is that your psychic nature is making you question many situations in your life, because you’re unwilling to go against the logical part of your brain. However, you will soon realise that your cut feelings are correct and learn to trust your inner sentiments when you feel them.
On the bright side, it's time to seek adventure, Gemini. The full moon will push you to explore horizons beyond your wildest dreams.

Leo, partnerships are a main focus at this time. Relationships take a lot of work, care and dedication — all of which you’ve given them in the past. Now, you're finally realising that if the energy is not reciprocated by the other person, then you need to reconsider what it is you're getting. Happy connections will see union, commitment, an engagement or even marriage. Unhappy relationships may see the sudden revelation that it’s time to divorce or break-up, instead.
If you're single, use this lunation to set dates with someone who possesses long term relationship potential. Opposites attract, so be open to someone that’s not your usual type. You got this, Leo!
