Aquarius Full Moon 🌕♒️ Big Shifts. Hold onto HOPE. Walk Your Truth.

Hello Witches & Dreamers 💖

This Aquarius Full Moon is happening August 19th 2024, peaking at 2:25pm est. Aquarius is a Saturn/Uranus ruled air sign, which in our body rules our lower legs, shins, calves, ankles, electric impulses of our nerves, our circulatory system, + elimination .

I did a collective tarot reading on this Full Moon to see what was coming up, and what kind of themes this full moon is bringing to our lives.

-♡-♡-♡- READING SUMMARY -♡-♡-♡-

So this Aquarius full moon is following a Leo New moon + Scorpio first quarter moon… which are all fixed signs. This immediately signals to me that we may be feeling a bit more stubborn with this moon cycle, as fixed signs aren’t always quick to let things shift. We are ending this moon cycle with a Gemini last quarter moon though, which makes me believe we will be pushed to lean more into the adaptable energy of Gemini to welcome in these shifts.

The first card to come out in the reading was the Queen of Wands, with the Queen of Pentacles on the bottom. The Queen of Wands is a very sociable confident persona, whereas the Queen of Pentacles is a bit more reserved. I feel that these 2 together are signaling the possibility of a new job for some, and that networking will be a big part of getting into that new job. For others, this will be a new situation and an adjustment on how you are managing your time/money/energy. The Qn of Wands is also a very intuitive Qn, signaling to us to make sure we are listening to what our own gut is telling us.

This is a situation that will be heavily based on you and your unique path, and not listening to other people, particularly overly realistic people. They may mean well in their advice, but all it will do is add to your confusion and slowly chip at your confidence. This situation will require a bit of blind faith, holding onto the knowing that YOU know yourself best. We also had the Page of Swords come out, so you may feel like a beginner in these new endeavors, but don’t let that discourage you.

This may stir up some feelings, especially some self doubts, which we may feel inclined to stuff down and ignore, but all that will do is hinder you more. This is an opportunity to face these scared/self-critical feelings and to move forward with faith anyway. You may be afraid to start something new and be seen trying, knowing you won’t be perfect at it right away. Take the leap anyway! This new path is waiting for you to make the choice, and to realize it’s okay to be a beginner.

The 7 of Swords came out next; be strategic, but don’t be sneaky. You will be a beginner, so you may not feel like that confident Queen of Wands right away, but that’s okay. You have stuff to learn and people that will be willing to help you. Now, since this is the 7 of Swords, I would say to be mindful of who is trying to help you and be discerning of their intentions.  

Not everyone is out to get you, but be aware of the current systems in place before you have entered a situation. This is more of a signal to trust your gut feelings and your intuition. If you have a history of anxiety, you may need to take some extra time aside to decipher whether your anxiety is mascaraing as your intuition. 

Self care is a huge underlying theme here as well— needing to make sure you are giving yourself the space and time to process these changes and the feelings that are coming up with them. We had the Fool poke through, but then The Chariot card came out reversed, leading me to think that we are in a in-between space. Not quite ready to leap into this situation, but preparing to. Especially for those of you that this is more about a romantic connection, you need to make sure you actually have the time and emotional capacity to welcome in this new connection.

This new situation is something you have been wanting: a new job, a new relationship, etc… but I feel this is going to scare you when it comes in. It will likely shake up your current foundations, causing you to get more resourceful and rearrange the way you are operating in your day to day.

Then we had The Star card, a welcome sign after we had The Tower come out during the first quarter moon reading. “Sometimes we have to let the tower fall to see a new path forward…” and after the tower comes the star in the tarot deck. We have to let these old outdated foundations fall apart so we can build a new stronger foundation. We have to surrender our tight grip on controlling the outcome and how the cards fall. That’s the fixed signs lesson I was talking about at the start of this.

I am feeling this will be a time period that feels confusing. Like I said before, I think some blind faith is going to be needed to navigate through this. Trusting that just because it doesn’t make sense now, and just because we have to slow down, doesn’t mean we won’t have that chariot moving forward again soon. We are in a balancing period, giving us the opportunity to clarify what it is we are even wishing for.

Aquarius is the Water Bearer, and The Star card (the Aqua card) is traditionally an image of a naked woman with one foot in the water, and pouring out water into the water and onto the land, with a bright star above her. Remember how the star comes after the tower, she’s feeling naked and vulnerable, one foot in the water to feel and process the feelings, another foot on land to stay rooted and grounded. Pouring water into the water to release these feelings, and water onto the land to water new seeds. Overall this is a sign to hold onto HOPE. You are in a rebirth period, and with that comes intense feelings. Trust that this is all happening for your growth.

Overall I believe mindset shifts are a big part of this full moon. Aquarius is an air sign, which governs the mind and intellect. Aquarius can also be seen as an innovative sign, so we’re “upgrading” our mindsets, allowing us to make new choices and expand in our lives.

Keep going keep growing- 7 of Pentacles. Keep taking these steady steps. Keep practicing your discernment. 3 of Swords signals we will have some grief to deal with as well, which isn’t surprising considering all these shifts. Even though logically we may say we want things to totally change, it still means we have a lot to let go of. Find a trusted person, friend, therapist etc to confide in as you process these changes.

We want to embody the Queen of Wands, the confidence and self-assuredness. We can only do that if we start taking steps to trust ourselves. It also wouldn’t hurt to start mapping out a plan (3 of Wands). You can still take steps without one, but if you start to narrow down what it is you want, the path may be a bit easier to traverse. 

A lot of this circles back about to trusting yourself. We had the Shine card come out first with the oracles. Take up that space! Let people see the real you! I was hearing imposter syndrome here as well. These self-doubts are part of the feelings you will need to acknowledge and process. Remember that they are not true though. 

Integrity has been coming through almost every reading lately, really pushing us to align with OUR values. Walk Your Truth also came out. You are a unique individual, you have talents, passions, and value that no one else has. This is a reminder that only by being true to yourself will you find the people/places/jobs that are meant for you.

Remember that big growth takes time. This is a Saturn ruled year, and Saturn is all about discipline, dedication, and responsibility. Think about farming: farming is HARD ass work. It is dirty, it is sweaty, and it requires a LOT of discipline. Your goals are similar. It may take some hard grueling work in the beginning, but the end result of your dedication is a bountiful harvest. But you have to stay committed. You have to hold onto faith.

THEMES: Shine, Integrity, Walk Your Truth, Cosmic Connection

As always I like to mention the previous new/full moon of the current moon sign so that we can look back and see if these themes have been present and reoccurring for us. The last NEW moon in Aquarius was February 9 2024. The last FULL moon in Aquarius was August 1 2023. Check your journals or your camera roll to help jog your memory.

I hope you have an easy full moon ♡
