The first supermoon of the year arrives on August 19, ushering all zodiac signs into a new era of embracing authenticity, letting go of judgment, and letting your individuality shine.
That’s because August’s full moon, traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon, falls in the quirky and innovative sign of Aquarius.
It also opposes the confident Sun in Leo, who encourages you to think about your role in other people’s lives and express yourself openly.
A challenging but constructive planetary conjunction coincides with this month, but lucky signs will feel the growing pains less.
Aquarius energy is rebellious and unconventional, so this full moon challenges you to proudly fly your eccentric flag, even if that means facing some challenges and letting go of things that don’t serve you.
The full moon will be combined with Mercury retrograde, highlighting the mental turmoil that Mercury retrograde brings and gains importance. The sun, moon and Mercury will be connected with Uranus, an unpredictable planet that promises shocks and unexpected surprises.
This full moon brings nearly every major planet into the drama: sultry Venus will form a fierce opposition with stern Saturn, while Mars and expansive Jupiter will explode.
Both the pros and cons are aspects that fuel the need for change and force you to take action. So while you may feel frustrated by what is happening during this full moon, trust that when you face the issues and find solutions, you will learn valuable lessons that will open new doors you never dreamed of.
Everyone should be prepared for a big month, big emotions, big changes, and big growth opportunities. But for the two zodiac signs with the fewest full moons in August, you should thank your lucky stars that it’s a little easier for you to get through than other signs.
