Hello Expansive Being, 

What an unusual, intense Full Moon blossomed today, 8/22!*

It’s in the revolutionary sign of Aquarius, which loves to shake things up, and add a strong dose of individuality to whatever it does.

Making this Full Moon extremely significant is its position at the very last, 29^th degree of the sign.  This is known as the anaretic - or critical, “do or die,” degree. 

It pushes things to happen – one way or another - now!

By Far, you’ll feel this urgency of actions and decisions in the area of your life ruled by Aquarius in your Birth Chart.

For some, this Moon will bring rewarding lucky breaks.  Positive experiences, including in relationships with community, friendships, and love can happen with surprising swiftness.  

Others might experience critical revelations and circumstances showing who or what won’t work in their lives, possibly because of differing intentions or values.

Many will experience both the rewards and the critical revelations of shifts and the need for change.  

(Yes- All this could have already been happening for you over the past week!)

Let’s talk about where Aquarius is in your Birth Chart and why and how that area is likely experiencing accelerated “restructuring” over the coming months.

**Your Sun Sign also feels the urgent, critical culminations of rewards and changes of the 8/22 Full Moon. Read Below for where that is for yours.  

Full Moons always help us (re)balance opposing qualities and urges in our nature. This one helps us balance our personal lives and preferences with those of the greater world we are part of.

It also helps us balance our urge to express our warmth, passion, joy and unique expressiveness with objective, logical, factual, even technological realities.

 It’s possible that the image we would love to portray – including of grandness and generosity – might be challenged by the reality of a situation wherein we feel we have to “justify” what we are doing because of the logic or facts of a situation.

A great benefit of this Full Moon is it is conjunct Expansive, Fortunate Jupiter.  This can bring inspiration, hope and meaning to whatever we are doing.

Community, friendships, revelation of truth, technology, human rights and law and justice are at the forefront of our personal and global turning points.

Astounding changes are at hand. We all have a part to play in what comes next.

It’s a beautiful time to evaluate how you bring your loving, warmth and creativity to your larger community.  Are you ready to be seen and participate even more? Perhaps In a different Light?

Although this Full Moon might highlight a (surprisingly) narrowed choice, there is still vast freedom to create something truly remarkable. 
What would you like to create?

*Astrology Buffs:

*The Full Moon is 8/22 at 5:01 a.m. PDT at 29 degrees Aquarius. The 29^th is the anaretic degree, known for bringing matters to an impatient, forceful head.

This Full Moon's critical intensity is amplified by the fact that it comes just days after Disruptor Uranus turned Station Retrograde.

As Uranus travels Retrograde it triggers crises that demand we make the changes it’s been urging for months before.  We can certainly see this being played out in the world stage.

The remainder of 2021 looks quite intense indeed!

It is always said that “Uranus Breaks things down so we can Break Through” to more evolved expression. (But, of course we have to choose that.)  

Fortunately, this Full Moon is conjunct Jupiter.  This offers an expansive sense of hope and inspired intention to the critical shifts at hand.  It helps us consider the higher Jupiterian principles of law, truth, justice, elevated consciousness, and awareness of our inter-connect-ness of humanity.

And, our picture can change dramatically on 8/22 as the Sun and Moon both change signs by the end of the day, bringing new attitudes and energies. The Sun moves into Virgo hours after the Moon moves into Pisces.
It can feel like 2 different Full Moons!
