“I’m changin’, arrangin’, I’m changin,’ I’m changin’ everything, ah everything around me” — Reflections of My Life, by Marmalade
All Full Moons bring a phase of culmination and harvest. This month’s Aquarius Full Moon also delivers pressure to act on whatever‘s coming to a head.
Individuation and being blasted out of entrenchment are key themes. The first and main place they play out is in our thinking — especially our thinking about ourselves.
We get a dress rehearsal on Friday, when the Sun and three planets preview the Full Moon’s motivating energies. That run-though heightens self-awareness, shakes us up with a lightning bolt or two, and demands rethinking a few givens.
All of which hits home emotionally by the Aquarius Full Moon proper. This party has dynamics that no one can escape. They’re a Molotov cocktail of sudden shifts, epiphanies, daring, passions, grandstanding and intellectualizing, largely forcing issues of values, trust, sharing and ultimate cost.
The ringleaders behind this concoction are continuing the tight formation from Friday’s preview. The Sun and the Moon are collaborating closely with the Moon’s ruler, cosmic rebel Uranus, to ignite volatility, pump up personal energy and self-expression, and encourage respect for individuality (especially one’s own). The old guard’s in the house, too, though, and those three bodies are challenging him: Saturn, ruler of structure, order, and consequences. His domain is up for deep change and sudden adjustments. The Sun and the Moon are pressuring Saturn in a dynamic pattern called a t-square, which escalates tension to the point that action is inevitable. Uranus is making an adjustment aspect to him (for the rest of the summer, actually) that will cause the balance of power or emphasis on many a see-saw to flip in the blink of an eye.
