Aquarius Full Moon Miniscopes

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. Mercury will be moving out of your sign shortly, heading to the 2nd House where your Sun is. So, although money may be going out around this Full Moon, you can definitely find new ways to bring in other sources of income.

LEO TO SCORPIO

Leo & Leo Rising

Leo, your sign is being highlighted right now. There is a lot swirling around you it feels like. This Full Moon highlights your 1st and 7th House axis - how you relate to others (and a partner - business or romantic) vs your own needs and identity. This is a struggle. People are being demanding. Some of you may end your relationship with your partner. Others may find that you are ready to take it to the next level. Uranus is the leader at this Full Moon shaking things up in your 10th House. So, a surprise may come from your career or workplace that has you doubting yourself or that may be pulling you away from time with yourself or your partner. You need to strike the balance. It can all be too much. You can’t get caught up in the unexpected but instead roll with the punches. These trials and setbacks are temporary. The Sun is in your sign, so you have an increased amount of energy. Use your ability to recuperate well to help you move past some of these barriers. Chiron is in your 9th House - working with you right now, so you can really heal by moving past the limitations that are being set on you. It’s about reaching beyond the horizon and seeing the big picture. You can’t get caught up in the details. Having spirited conversations about the future and new opportunities or ideas can help you now. You need to see that the sky is the limit when you give yourself the confidence in your actions and ideas. The past traumas you faced are nothing to you anymore. As you begin to move forward into a new direction, you will be able to shed the childhood pain that has held you back. With Mercury moving into your sign shortly, you can start to get your voice back. It’s time to speak up and say what’s on your mind. There is no second guessing anymore. You need to be honest and forthright with yourself and others.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

You are a busy person - especially around this Full Moon. Your work and health are being highlighted right now. Are you doing too much? You need to strike a balance. Your work and health are very tied to one another. You have to slow down. The Sun is in your 12th House telling you to relax. You need to conserve your energy for your season which is just weeks away. If you had a hidden health issue, it will come up now. Alternatively, if you have been dealing with some emotional circumstances, it’s time to nurture yourself. Uranus is traveling your 9th House, so you have been going through a little spiritual journey over the past few years. You have been finding your own beliefs and where you see your future going. This Full Moon can surprise you in numerous ways. Perhaps you have an ah-ha moment about where you need to go and how you need to get there. You may realize that what you actually want in life isn’t what you had made yourself believe. So you are re-evaluating your next steps. Don’t be afraid - this is all good. Chiron is in your 8th House. You can heal immensely from past traumas and deep pains/fears that you have buried below the surface. It’s time to unearth the beast and take it head on. There is so much growth for you around this Full Moon. Give yourself that space and time to deal with your inner turmoil. Don’t work the pain away. You are moving into a new phase. Stop pushing down what needs to be confronted. Mercury is moving into the sign just behind yours, so you can definitely work through some emotional baggage. You may need to talk it out with someone. It’s ok to seek help or advice from others. They will only help you gain a different perspective.

Libra & Libra Rising

Hi Libra, similar to Aries, your 5th-11th House axis is being highlighted. The Moon shines in your 5th House telling you to focus on yourself more. Stop putting so much energy into other people. You need to nurture your heart and what brings you pleasure. This Full Moon is all about coming to terms with conception - whether it be a project, child, romance or your own ideas. There may be external forces that are influencing your decisions. Don’t let it keep you from expressing yourself or going after what you want. Uranus is in your 8th House, bringing up surprise emotions and past traumas that have not been dealt with. Old fears or issues are surfacing in ways that you had not expected. If you haven’t dealt with it properly, now is the time. There could be a surprise debt, as well. The Sun reaches out to Chiron in your 7th House. Your partner could provide you with a lot of healing right now. You guys have had your ups and downs, but now they are showing up as a support for you. The intimacy issues that you face from the 8th House can help you both grow stronger as you confront them. You need a sounding board to talk things out with, so don’t be afraid to just let it out. Any past traumas you had with old relationships no longer matter to you, and you are ready to move on. Venus will be moving into your 10th House soon, so your career life will start to balance out. A new job opportunity or source of income can come during this transit.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Things may feel out of your control right now, but this is temporary. This Full Moon highlights your 4th/10th House axis. You are feelings pulled between home and career/work. You are likely making changes to your home environment in some way or maybe something comes up with your parent. Work may be demanding, as well. Similar to Taurus, you both are feeling this energy fairly strongly. The difference is there’s an external factor at play here. Uranus is in your 7th House creating a surprise from outside of yourself. Your partner (business or romantic) or how you relate to other people may be a point of contention during this Full Moon. A lot is changing all at once for you. Go with the flow if you can. Everything will settle in a few weeks time, but right now our tensions are high. Don’t get caught up in the drama of it all. Chiron is touring your 6th House, so you should be placing some focus on nurturing yourself and your health. You can really heal when you listen to your body. Perhaps find a new routine for yourself or try a new diet/workout regimen. You are more sensitive than you lead on, so you need to find ways to be good to your body. The Sun in your 10th House supports this, so maybe even taking some time away from work can be helpful. Mercury will be moving in to your 10th House shortly, so if you want to change careers, you may have the opportunity to do so - especially around the New Moon on Aug 18th. If people feel crazy around this Full Moon, just know you’re not alone. Just try to focus on your needs first.

SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

What’s on your mind Sagittarius? There seems to be a lot swirling around in your head that you are not saying. This Full Moon is the chance for you to speak your mind, and say what you need to say. It falls in your 3rd House - focused on communication. A sibling could be needing your help or there may be changes coming in your immediate environment that you need to address. The Sun is transiting your 9th House, so you know the truth, even if it isn’t what other people want to hear. You are feeling pulled between saying what you know and what you think other people may want. Stop overanalyzing. If you have goals for yourself, you need to go for them. If you see a future that you want, then say it. Uranus is in your 6th House, perhaps bringing up some health concerns. If you have not addressed them, then you will have to now. Surprises to your daily routine are also likely. Protect your body and listen to how you are feeling. You may need to adjust your diet or exercise regimen. If you have a health scare, use it a way to push you to get your act together. It will be a good reminder to nurture yourself. Regardless, honestly, there needs to be more emphasis placed on your well-being. This anxiousness really is holding you back. Chiron is transiting your 5th House right now.

The New Moon in Leo on Aug 18th will bring up some positive changes for you regarding your future goals and possibly even higher education.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

This Full Moon has your attention on your finances. It falls in your 2nd House with the Sun in your 8th House. You are seeing some issues with money arise. Perhaps money is owed to you that you are not receiving or you are grappling with some income changes that you were not prepared for. Some of you may be thinking of starting a business and trying to make it work financially for yourself. Be smart with your money right now. Self-worth can also play a factor into this, too.

Uranus is traveling through your 5th House, so you are seeing sparks of inspiration for new creative projects. Run with them and stop doubting yourself. You have good and original ideas.

Focus on your need to rest and be good to yourself.

Cancer New Moon Miniscopes

So this Eclipse Hangover is real, and we are still recovering from the Mercury retrograde.

This past week has shown us a few harsher aspects, and I know some of us are feeling tired. This New Moon on July 20th is the second New Moon in Cancer. We aren’t always greeted with two New Moons in the same sign, so there are some important things to note at this New Moon.

This New Moon signals the first major lunation since the Full Moon eclipse we just had a few weeks ago. It is a resurgence of the energy that we felt on the first New Moon in Cancer on June 21, but also effects us somewhat differently. What we initially started around the first New Moon is now being challenged - but this only allows us to make sure that it is strong for the future. This particular New Moon is centered on the Saturn opposition. The Sun and Moon align in Cancer while opposing Saturn in Capricorn at the exact degree. The Moon and Saturn are in their domicile, strengthening this aspect and allowing for it to take center stage during this lunation. There will be major themes of limitation, responsibility and nurturing. We feel pulled to focus on rest and self-nurture, but Saturn reminds us that there is work to be done. We are not done, and so we feel conflicted and pulled in two directions. Work, government, relationships or even our own guilt can stand in our way. To a lesser degree, the Sun and Moon oppose Jupiter and Pluto - something we felt earlier this week that has remnants on this New Moon. Jupiter gives us a surge of energy allowing us to take charge when we need it, but it may also cause us to overextend ourselves and not know when to stop. Pluto brings hidden things to surface, so we are exposed to the cold, hard truth. We have to face our fears and prepare to make some changes in our life.

Luckily, during all of these oppositions, Neptune intercepts some of this energy. It softens it - reminding us to let go and trust our intuition. We can’t control the outside forces, and we just have to understand that some things in life are just bigger than us. It adds a level of compassion, as well. So, although we may feel frustrated with people in our lives, we can see their point of view (or at least we should try to). Jupiter in particular really sits well with Neptune at this New Moon, both have similar energy of seeing beyond the present and understanding that there is hope for tomorrow - promises are on the horizon. Lesser influences on this lunation include: Mercury and Uranus still in sextile, giving us that jolt of imagination and free-thinking. Now that Mercury is direct, we may find that our thoughts are more clear, so setting the ideas for future goals feels easier. Venus and Mars also sextile, this aspect can be sexy and amazing for relationships or jump starting your business ideas. So, although you may feel frustrated or confined during this New Moon, there is still help along the way. If you have any personal planets in your chart at 24º to 29º or 0º to 4º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. So, let’s see what this is all means for you individually!
