Calling On Hope.
The Full Moon in Aquarius 16º falls on August 9th at 3:55 AM ET.
This Full Moon comes as a marker, an illuminated pinnacle. It signifies the power of release and finding our way through the tensions we may have faced lately. With Aquarian energy so prominent at this Full Moon, we will have our eyes fixated on our hopes, dreams, and wishes—perhaps even our network, community, and friendships. We have to recognize where we are and who we surround ourselves with and see how that impacts the big picture (not only in our lives personally but also collectively). Aquarius brings truth, unmoved and undeterred, in the pursuit of understanding where we belong in the grand scheme of it all.
Saturn traditionally leads this Full Moon, making plenty of aspects to keep it active. It meets in opposition to Mars, its long-time rival. Saturn’s opposition can add a bit of heaviness to this Full Moon, almost as if letting go isn’t as easy as we hope. Fortunately, the tense aspect of this lunation ends with Saturn.
Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius and will also partially lead this lunation. Uranus represents a need to be free — a point of liberation. The Mars, Uranus, and Pluto —three big powerhouses are harmonizing with one another. Uranus treads new airways in Gemini and speaks kindly to Mars in Libra. Negotiations and compromises are key. We can find innovative solutions to anything that may arise.
With Fixed energy being the central focus, we must find ways to free ourselves from outdated or overly traditional mindsets. Uranus may have us jumping into a radical freefall around this time. With Mars and Saturn at oddes, we can be pulsing seismic activity to show us cracks in our own inner foundations. We feel a need to stabilize, but Uranus will tell us to upheave. But not all hope is lost; the Moon is in Aquarius, after all!
Mars is also receiving a boost of energy from Pluto. Both are traveling through Air signs, they ask us to shift and be open. With this grand trine of energy, it will encapsulate us in its expansive vision, pushing us to move through whatever difficulties could arise from this lunation. We may feel an initial disappointment, but disappointment can lead to opportunity. Disappointment forces us to look around at what we had been missing this whole time. The outer planets create insurmountable energy, a desire to preserve and be heroic. Even through any harsh realities we face, we can find the gusto to overcome; a resilience unmatched.
Don’t give up on something you feel passionate about, but do know that sometimes things take longer to achieve than we realize. It is important to recognize the collective focus of this lunation. The gifts of Aquarius are connection and idealism. Keeping that in mind means that as we pursue our goals, we must make sure we have people around us who want to see us succeed and will help us arrive there. Accepting that support will be monumental. You never have to face anything completely alone.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 11º to 21º,, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
At this Full Moon, the big questions are: where do you find hope? Who is there to support you? You are someone who may often try to do things all on your own. But at what cost?
As we enter this Full Moon, your hopes, dreams, wishes, network, and support system all come into focus — as this Full Moon falls in your 11th House. Who do you call upon in your time of need? We can’t be the stabilizing factor for others all the time. Sometimes, we need people to rally around us too. Luckily, this Full Moon ensures that you have that. Friends are showing up for you, and a dream seems to be within reach.
Uranus is supporting this Full Moon from your 3rd House, reaching out to Mars and Pluto. You are likely to be busy and full of ideas — perhaps even more social than normal. It seems most people want to spend time with you! You may over-commit though, so watch for that. Ultimately, this Full Moon will be quite social for you. With Mars and Uranus harmonizing, follow the threads of spontaneity and excitement. They are leading you to new pathways! Saturn will ensure you know your limits, while you will find the simple joys in everyday life. Be open to living in the present.
Use this Full Moon to open yourself to possibility. It is time to ask for help and see that the future is co-created. It requires that you have the will to seek support. Everything is in flux, but the outcome will present itself soon. Things may come and go in life, but focus on the people that remain constant.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
What is the pinnacle for you? The Aquarius Full Moon usually turns your focus toward your outward life, publicity, and career. This also encompasses your direction and achievements.
The last 12 months have had you working hard and making decisions that impacted your future — and now it seems that you are either beginning or about to begin a new phase. This Full Moon falls in your 10th House that rules all of these things: career, direction and publicity. You may not realize it, but you are in a position of power right now. The ball is seemingly in your court. You could be going for a promotion, looking to switch careers, move, retire, or even change what you do for work. Whatever it is, how you build foundation and security in the world is in focus.
Key players at this lunation are the trifecta of planets — Mars, Uranus, and Pluto. With Mars and Uranus being so energized, the energy will have a bit of excitement and spontaneity. You may receive unexpected (yet somewhat positive news) regarding finances or resources! Keep your eyes peeled and open for new possibilities that will arise in the weeks following this lunation. Additionally, this “luck” or inspiration may be more with recognition, where you are feeling more free from public perception and owning your sense of self. Perhaps you may see a turning point on a work matter that has been creating tension in your life, as well.
Use this Full Moon to start a new journey in your life direction or career. Go for a promotion, a new job, or even a career change. Put yourself up on a pedestal more and see your worth and value as it is in the light of day. Work on your long-term goals and start making moves to bring them to fruition. You have a lot of power in your hands right now. How are you going to use it?
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Faith — a word that you must work with more. You must learn the power of having faith in yourself and taking a leap toward your goals and dreams.
The Aquarius Full Moon brings the energy to nurture areas of growth in your life. There is a sense that your paths to growth, evolution, change, expansion and new territory are opening up. This can happen through education, spirituality, work, or even just your personal next steps. You have been sitting with “where do I go from here” for quite some time. This is your chance to make moves. Of course, that requires that keyword: Faith.
Uranus is supported from your 1st House from Mars in Libra and Pluto in Aquarius. There may be unexpected information or news, perhaps even invitations out or trips that you had not anticipated needing to take! Go with it! The spontaneity and newness could be great for you! There is an ask to seek a bit more adventure in your life. With Uranus in your sign, the world is vibrant, whimsical, and a little unpredictable. You could also feel incredibly motivated to move ideas into actionable steps. Create space to explore the possibilities that life may present to you.
Use this Full Moon to truly believe in yourself, opening up the floodgates of potential. Take time, and see the sky's the limit. You have to learn that some risks are worth the reward. You are itching to travel, go to new places, meet new people, or simply engage in new experiences overall. You are seeking a fresh start, and this Full Moon can give it to you. What are you waiting for?
Cancer & cancer Rising
It is time to get intimate. You have to face the shadow eventually, and right now, you are asked to see what has been hidden from view or deal with what has been left unchecked.
The Full Moon sits in your 8th House. This is a time of transformation, change, and evolution — but also a time of healing and sharing the deepest parts of yourself with someone else. There is a level of fear that can be associated with this, understandably. You are very close-lipped about your emotional nature. But sometimes, stability requires sharing what lies beneath the foundation. Questions around worth, shared resources, sexuality, close partnerships, and money could come up now.
Uranus, Mars, and Pluto are incredibly helpful now. They all harmonize in quieter parts of your chart. You may have to let go of old mindsets or surrender to the unknown to receive the gifts that the world has to offer. Luckily though, it seems that there may be some joyous surprises coming your way with Uranus present — especially when it comes to your stability, sense of value, or even possibly income (hello Mercury in your 2nd House and Jupiter in Cancer). If an opportunity arises to showcase your talents or knowledge, don’t shy away from this! This can be a chance for incredible growth.
Use this Full Moon to start a new cycle for yourself and embrace your shadows. Commune with your inner world and transmute grief into strength. Find new ways of investing or saving financially, but also investing in yourself. Work on getting more intimate with your needs — find the hidden power that lies within you. Form deeper bonds with those you trust.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
The tone shifts from the New Moon to the Full Moon, where we focus on the “we.” Especially as your 7th House is coming into play under the energy of this Full Moon. This impacts how you engage in the world around you — and most importantly your one-on-one relationships.
So this Full Moon brings an opportunity to make changes on the partnership front. This could look like anything, but the main factor here is that you have a choice. You can take things to the next level or choose to walk away. Some of you may be very happy in your relationship and seek to settle more into it. Others see that they may need to have conversations about reciprocity. Equality and level-setting seem to be coming up as well. This could be outside of romantic relationships – seeping into other personal or professional unions you have (friends, family, work).
Uranus is sitting in a social place in your chart. Here, it is yielding community and connection in a big way. Uranus brings an unpredictable energy, one of adventure and whimsy at this lunation. It will not only connect with Mars but also Pluto! So, a sense of liberation is coming from the heart and soul. We can feel open and grand. There is a huge alignment and shift within you and how you approach life in general. The people you surround yourself with will take notice and also shift to support the new you that is emerging. If some friends or community members fall back, allow them to, so that new ones may come forward.
Use this Full Moon to start something new with other people in your life. Enact boundaries and keep them. Stand up for yourself. Form new relationships and alliances. Seek counsel and re-evaluate people who have been disrespecting your energy. Strengthen the partnerships that truly matter. Some of you may even decide to take your romantic relationship to the next level. Whatever you do, know that you will likely surprise those around you.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
This Full Moon is a call to connect with yourself, your body, and the world around you. You are asked to get organized.
This Full Moon shines a light on your 6th House, where we focus on our health, regimens, and daily life. Maybe you have been quietly waiting for something to give, but now it is time to take control. It seems that taking on too much can have a negative impact on you—if you don’t figure out how to manage everything on your plate (or even ask for a little help). You may not have been as good to your body as you would like to be, and now you are being faced with the repercussions. You need to recenter a bit. Your health and your well-being are important! Alternatively, you could make great progress in how you care for yourseld. New clients and work opportunities can also arise, and they will be quite beneficial!
Uranus is sitting in your 10th House getting amazing support from Mars and Pluto. There may be some positive work opportunities that arise now. You may find that the change isn’t so bad, and it may be met with a financial component that sets you up for further success. Things are shifting for you and moving in ways you can’t yet see. Even if it does not seem that there is a turning point happening in your life, know that new doorways are beginning to open for you! You are also more visible now than you have been in a long time. The pathways that open are more expansive than you can imagine!
Use this Full Moon to find new routines and regimens that work for you. Create daily practices that you can keep while maintaining your love of variety. Try new workouts and adhere to a healthier diet. You may be asked to let go of a bad habit or improve something in your life. Watch how much you take on and make time for rest and self-care. Take care of your body, and your needs, and know it is ok to nourish yourself too.
Libra & Libra Rising
Full Moons are a time of illumination — culmination. This one serves to remind you of your happiness, joy, and pleasure.
This Full Moon comes to shine a light on your 5th House, and creativity is abundant now. You are called to see what sits right in front of you in this present moment. This isn’t about tomorrow or yesterday— just today. Slowing down and seeing what is here and now can actually inspire you. The 5th House rules creativity, conception, children, expression, love, and happiness. These areas will be highlighted. You are being called back to your passions and what drives you. You may be at a creative high, and you should follow that energy. However, you may also be doubting yourself a bit. Sometimes finding your way back to what you love isn’t easy. It takes courage and heart to make it there.
Uranus is incredibly supported at this lunation from your 9th House. This is creating some excitement for you — in a good way! It seems that you may have an opportunity to explore, travel, or adventure somewhere new. Leaps of faith will be front and center, are you ready to step into the next? Even if it doesn’t quite feel like you are ready, it may still be “time”. With Mars in your sign now, you can feel motivated, energized. You are not moving in silence, but openly and out in the world. You are visible and empowered. People want to see you follow your aspirations.
Use this Full Moon to let loose and have a bit of fun! Work on finding your strengths and using them to your advantage. Follow your heart and your creativity — let it all flow. Get in touch with your inner child and open yourself up to new experiences. Most importantly, take time to stand out and shine radiantly! You deserve to be happy as much as anyone else does. It doesn’t make you selfish. It just makes you human. Have pride in who you are.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
This Full Moon falls in a Fixed sign like yours, so the energy will feel more potent for you. With a Fixed Full Moon, what we find can last for a long time.
With the Full Moon in Aquarius, it impacts areas of your life that need attention. This would be your 4th House of home, family, foundation, and roots. You may find that you are having to face familial matters you have been avoiding. Alternatively, you may be connecting with family, doing a little redecorating, moving, or working with your ancestors. This Full Moon is perfect for all things domestic and getting organized on the home front. You may be focusing on what matters to you and trying to create a better work/life balance.
Uranus is creating some excitement and unpredictable vibes around this lunation, as it reaches out to Mars and Pluto. There may be an unexpectedly positive opportunity that may arise for you or a partner — especially regarding finances. This could be a bonus, commission, inheritance, or some other resource. Additionally, if you have been feeling a little lack of luster with intimacy, this Full Moon will completely change that! You could see that your daily work life is about to change, too, but this is for the better. Things are starting to upswing after a heavy few months.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your home and family life. Redecorate, renovate, or move. Try resolving past issues with family that may be residual or seek to create better boundaries with them. Take time away to rest and reflect on this lunation. Lean into your nostalgia a bit and make peace with the past. Open yourself up to ancestral guidance, learn more about your lineage and connect with those you love — living or deceased. Know that you create the security and safety you seek.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
This time of year can have your mind on finances. The Aquarius Full Moon always brings up questions around money, value, and worth.
This is because the Moon goes through your 2nd House of income, self-worth, and material possessions. Actually, it seems that you could have the potential to make changes to how you earn money. You could be looking to bring in more or simply change your relationship with money. You may also have higher expenditures than normal. So, pay attention to your financial picture. Alternatively, you could be making changes to your self-confidence and what you stand for or believe in. The last few years have seen you grow, evolving into a new person. Thus, you are making shifts in what you choose to find value in. What would you consider to be a tradition for you? What gives you a sense of worth? Don’t allow this to be tied to other people.
You may be unexpectedly busy as the lunation begins. Try not to over-commit your time and energy. Uranus is wonderfully positioned to both Mars and Pluto from your 6th House. So, there could be some surprise happenstances with work, projects, or clients. Most of this will feel positive, but it may be a bit overwhelming at first. Take a step back and assess what feels like it is an immediate need. If you have had some issues with your health, Uranus will help and jolt you in the right direction.
Use this Full Moon to open doors to new resources and focus on what you have and what you can gain. You may have to let go to receive. Seek alternative sources of income or money. Look to new pathways of earning. Confront your feeling of being unworthy. Hold yourself in high regard and own your value. Your talents bring you everything you want. You own, create, and hold all of the potential in your own hands.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
It is your time, dear Aquarius! Don’t let anyone dim your light. This Full Moon is a call to come home back to yourself, finding clarity in your identity, and what you actually want in life.
This Full Moon illuminates your 1st House of self and identity, a place you know all too well. You may have to reckon with yourself, your motives, and your desires. This isn’t always easy to do. You are carving out a new space for you to be more…you. This is important, as you have been working hard the last year to figure out what you want. You can clarify who you are now more than ever. Pluto is recently in your sign, bringing personal transformation. At this lunation, you are asked to put what you’ve been learning to the test! It isn’t just that you have gained new insight, but what you actually do with it.
Mars, Uranus, and Pluto are creating a rare grand trine! There could be some excitement that comes about in regard to creativity, fun, and joy! You could be ready to really let loose a bit more and have a fresh start. If a partnership could use a bit more spice, then this may be the time to do it! If you are single, this Full Moon will be perfect for meeting someone! Whatever it is, there is a sense that you want to invite more fun into your life right now. Do it! If you have been at a loss for words, this Full Moon will help you find the right one and be passionate with how you want to express yourself.
Use this Full Moon to call back your power. Stand in your body and fully own who you are. Run for what you want and start a new cycle in your being. Seek wholeness in your identity and share yourself unapologetically. Give yourself space for freedom and open the doors to change. Don’t resist what unfolds, instead leap into it. Embrace the present. Own your shadow — and your light.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
You are itching for peace and a slower pace now. You have been working so hard the last few weeks. You might have felt like you were not able to catch a break in some ways. A demanding schedule for you, or anyone, can be taxing. However, this Full Moon invites you to find more serenity in your life.
Sometimes, peace is created, not found. Your 12th House is being highlighted, a place of quiet and rest. You may feel a little run down or like you need some time away. Listen to your body. Because Full Moons signal release, you may be asked to close a door or let something go, as well. Focus on surrender as a form of liberation now, and you will have the respite and peace you desire. The 12th House also asks for you to get in touch with your intuition and pay attention to your dreams. You could be re-engaging with a more spiritual and hidden aspect of yourself now.
Uranus plays a key role in this lunation. It sits in your 4th House and connects deeply with Mars and Pluto. It will be positively connected to this lunation, creating some potential joyful moments. There may be new home-related or family-related matters that can arise. Perhaps a shift in your living space or even a simple redecoration. Whatever it is there is a need to go along with whatever arises. You are being directed toward something new. Adventures start at home. Some of you may see some positive financial changes based on the clients, projects, or work you take on. Perhaps you are being more valued now than ever before. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
Use this Full Moon to slow down and focus on completion. Take time for rest, reflection, and respite. Turn your attention to what needs to be addressed and seek resolution. Close doors on what no longer holds value in your life — let go of limitations. Ease into the spiritual space and commune with your spirit. Give yourself forgiveness, grace, and peace. You deserve it now.
