August 19, 2024: Full Moon at Aquarius 27°15’, 2:26 pm EDT.
Can you feel the intensity? This Full Moon falls against the backdrop of the first phase of the Jupiter/Saturn square, exact on the same day at 5:46 pm EDT. Featured are two challenging t-squares: 1) Mars (yang) conjunct Jupiter (expansion) square to a Venus (yin)/Saturn (contraction) opposition, and 2) a powerful square of Uranus (unpredictability) to the Full Moon opposition. Mercury (consciousness) retrograde is conjunct to the Sun.
There is a theme. Individual desires (Leo, Mars/Jupiter) are being felt quite strongly. There is tension between these individual desires and the collective. Uranus is prominent; whenever The Great Awakener is involved there is always unpredictability. Expect the unexpected. Explosions, accidents and eruptions are associated with Uranus, as are unexpected actions by individuals that affect the collective. All of this moves against the backdrop of the on-going Jupiter/Saturn square. The energies of expansion and contraction are struggling against each other; a rhythmic relationship that is moving faster and faster, like the insistent beating of a drum.
The three nights around the exact Full Moon – the Window – are a time to sit in meditation. Feel these energies – these forces of expansion and contraction within your own body. There is an insistent thrum; you can feel it within you. You can almost hear it. Planet Earth and all of her creatures are held in an extended birth process. Something is dying and simultaneously something is coming forth. It is exciting, thrilling, exhilarating, and frightening in its mysteriousness. Peer into the darkness within, your vision opened by the light of this powerful Full Moon. What do you see? What is the message for you?
