This Full Moon comes in with a lot that needs to be released.

The Full Moon occurs around 11:59 AM EST. Uranus squares the Sun and Moon (who are in opposition to one another) with little interception of the energy. Uranus is the leader at this Full Moon. Shocking and surprising news is likely. We are not prepared. We can feel super inspired but that can quickly turn to spreading ourselves thin. We feel challenged. Mercury Opposes Saturn - lighting up the energy from the previous New Moon. We may have doubts about ourselves or our direction. Other people may be trying to poke holes in our intentions or projects. Focus on the stability of this aspect. This can help with some of the other more uncertain energy surrounding this Full Moon. We feel like we need to stand up for ourselves but this may not be well-received. Keep moving forward and don’t lose sight. Show them that it will work, don’t tell them. We can’t expect what is going to be happen next with such strong Uranus energy. Full Moons signal release and endings - so if something is gone, then let it go. Emotions will run high. Find ways to ground yourself. The spark that Uranus creates can lead to major awakenings - personally and collectively.

Venus aligns with the North Node, bringing lessons we learned from the past Venus Retrograde to the surface. This is destined and a part of our fate - outside of our control. In addition, the only reprieve from the strong squares/oppositions is the Sun/Chiron trine (perhaps even the wide Trine of Sun/Mars). But focusing on the Sun/Chiron aspect, we are illuminating our wounds that we had ripped open and exposed from this Full Moon. The Sun is here to give us the strength to grow. We are feeling like we can build a new identity as we relinquish our pains. Chiron has been teaching us lessons about individuality and personal power. We have the ability to persevere. The Sun is letting us shine now. We can see this in ourselves. We can no longer hide from our wounds - they are front and center. We are ok with this though. We want to take it on. We want to heal. We can see the potential and where we are headed. We are building pride in ourselves. Time to move on, up and out. The aspects for the next few days push us to transform, release and change. It may feel uncomfortable, but we have the energy and vitality to see it through.

If you have any personal planets in your chart at 8º to 14º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. So, let’s break this down by sign!

ARIES TO CANCER

Aries & Aries Rising

Hi Aries! Take a minute and breathe! This Full Moon highlights your 5th and 11th house axis. There is a need to get in touch with your inner child and try to breakdown the limitations and barriers you are placing on yourself or that you are allowing others to place on you. You may have to readjust your hopes and dreams to fit with the reality of what is going on around you. It may initially be a harder pill to swallow, but there will be solutions! Just stay patient. You are trying to see where you belong in it all and how you fit into society in some ways. Perhaps, money comes into the equation around this Full Moon. A debt may creep up or there may not be as much money coming in as you had hoped. Some of you may have a change in your income around this Full Moon. Uranus has been traveling through your 2nd House and will be activated during this lunation. You’ve faced a few ups and downs financially over the past few years. For others, a friend can be popping up causing some issues or maybe illuminating a problem in your life that you had not considered before. They may even be the one who is trying to take advantage of you financially or emotionally. Pay attention to the motives of those around you. Whatever happens, it will be eye opening and can lead to a better tomorrow. Self-worth is also tied to the 2nd House, so you may be grappling with your own value and worth. However, with the Sun in beautiful aspect to Chiron in your sign, you can really focus on a lot of healing and moving past some of the hardships that you may have faced. It’s time to really wrap your arms around some of the things you’ve ignored. This Full Moon is a great one for letting go of what is no longer serving you. It’s time to just leave it all behind. Embrace some creativity in your life. The Sun is in your 5th House asking you to access your inner child. Give yourself the space to heal.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

You rarely lose your cool but this Full Moon may be testing your patience. It falls in your 10th House. You may be swamped at work and not giving yourself any time to slow down. If you are out of work, then you can make strides to get a new job. Just make sure you understand the parameters before accepting. Either way, it will feel like things are coming at you from all sides, but you have to take one thing at a time. Your parent or your home life could be needing your right now - perhaps even just the need to escape into your own bubble is calling you. You seem really pushed and pulled from both sides. Uranus is highlighted at this Full Moon falling in your 1st House, so you may surprise people or act out of character due to the stress or because of what’s happening around you. Just try to remain centered. If you are feeling called to rest, then do that and take care of yourself. Some of you may seek solace in your family or home. Chiron sitting in your 12th house is allowing for you to find ways to isolate or withdraw for a little bit. Those moments will be healing for you. There are deeper issues that are not being addressed that may cause you feel erratic. Listen to your intuition. Uranus can make things feel unpredictable or unstable in your life, but that is supposed to spark an enlightening solution for you. Wait for things to slow down before you jump to a conclusion or solution. Whatever happens, change is a part of life and sometimes you can’t entirely prepare for it. You are entering into better days ahead, especially as we get closer to the New Moon in Leo later this month.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

This Full Moon falls in an Air sign like yours, so it may not cause as many problems as it will for others. Your 9th and 3rd Houses are being illuminated. Perhaps you are looking to go back to school or had plans to travel (although unlikely), things will likely change. So expect the unexpected. You find that you have it in you to speak your truth, regardless of what other people may think. Uranus, now in your 12th House, is causing major surprises that you did not see coming in your life. Things that were once hidden are now showing face. Some people may not be who they say they are or you may have been lead to believe something that has not been true. Mercury and Saturn are opposing in your financial houses, opening up the energy that you felt for most of the summer. You are trying hard to deal with a debt or saving your money, but it may not be happening as easily as you hoped. Just be patient. Changeable Mercury will be leaving your 2nd House and much welcomed Venus will be entering in it helping you a little with bringing some money in. Saturn is just finishing its transit through your 8th House, so you are just making sure that your are restructuring your finances correctly. Chiron is in your 11th House working with the Sun in your 3rd. This tells me that a friend is coming to your rescue or vice versa. There are really healing conversations that can be had - especially now that Venus has left its shadow period in your Sign and is ready to move on. This is good time to open up. This Full Moon will be encouraging you to find your voice and may challenge your beliefs, but from it you will grow.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Hi Cancer! This Full Moon is a doozy, so make sure you give yourself time to relax. You are ruled by the Moon, so you feel its transits very personally and deeply. This lunation sits in your 8th House, opposing the Sun in your 2nd House. You may be feeling some financial push and pull. Perhaps you are not being paid what is owed to you, or money is finding its way out. Don’t let talks about money spiral out of control. Alternatively, the 8th House also rules intimacy and depth. Maybe you need to get a handle on some of our own inhibitions and open up. You hold too much back, and that is keeping you from truly having the deep connections you long for. A friend can be enlightening for you or may shake up your inner world in ways you had not expected. Some may come through for you in a surprising way, but others may stir up feelings of inadequacy. Don’t fret. People are showing their true colors now. You need to sit and confront the fears you are holding on to and what is being presented to you. You can heal immensely. Chiron is at the top of your chart reaching out to the Sun in your 2nd House, so your sense of worth is being tied to the work you do and how you show your face to the world. Right now, you are seeing how you can shine and utilize your past struggles to get ahead in life. You are seeing your value in your career - perhaps even illuminating where you want to go in life. You need to stop feeling this need to be “too comfortable”. You have to let yourself grow. Venus is going to be moving into your sign soon, giving you some peace and balance - perhaps even a financial boost.
