Full Moon in Aquarius 2025

On August 9th at 12:55 AM PDT the Sun and Moon oppose each other at 17 degrees; the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius. This is the moment when we see if the goals, hopes and dreams we set when the Moon was New in Aquarius have come to fruition. This year the New Moon in Aquarius occurred on January 29th. When the Sun and Moon were in Aquarius we were inspired to set intentions related to personal independence, freedom, and transformation. Also to look at the groups we belong to in order to improve ourselves along with others.The ruling planet here is Uranus; the mover and shaker of the zodiac. Where we feel limited our cage will be rattled until we move in a better direction.

Now with the Sun in Leo opposing the Moon, the emotional energies are heightened, creating a need to review our balance or imbalance relating to the Leo/Aquarius axis. This axis in astrology represents a conflict between individuality and the collective, self-expression and community. Leo's focus is on personal passion, creativity, and self-expression, and Aquarius's emphasis is on the greater good, intellectual pursuits, and universal vision. We are here to strike a balance as an individual that compliments the teams we belong to.

These two signs are Fixed; Leo/Fire and Aquarius/Air. We can fan the flames to envision a greater future if we don’t get stuck, unwilling to act on insights and visions. Fixed signs can be stubborn and determined to persist in one direction rather than have flexibility. Ego and pride play a hand in this problem, so keep an open mind and stay humble;)

On this occasion the Sun and Moon have no aspects, giving us the green light to act on these influences with clarity. I’m going to review the other planets aspecting each other. We have a Grand Air Trine between Mars in Libra, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius. This is a beneficial aspect, as it endows us with profound imagination, thoughts, communications, and a curious disposition. Mars in Libra focuses energy on respect, balance, and harmony in actions and desires. Uranus in Gemini inspires progressive and creative thinking. And Pluto in Aquarius teaches us united action is a very high priority.

But let me add another planet here that plays into the Grand Trine. It’s called the “kite pattern”; when a planet opposes one of the planets involved in the Grand Trine, creating the image of the tail of a kite. Here we have two planets at 1 degree Aries; Saturn and Neptune, opposing Mars at 1 degree Libra. It is called the peak planet, or planets here, bringing tension to this otherwise passive gift. They challenge us by focusing our attention on an individual perception rather than embracing more than ourselves. Fear gets in the way if we allude to ourselves that including others in our plans can slow us down, get in the way…The tension is meant to help us focus on our direction and purpose and make it an active mission. The other three planets in the Trine must work towards the development of these peak planets. This is accomplished when we surrender to humanitarian actions and feel the warmth and joy we receive through our own selfless actions.

A wonderful way to celebrate this Full Moon is to sit out under the stars by a fire, dreaming while awake of all you are grateful for and what you can do to be the best self you can be. Know you are loved and encouraged to feel whole, relevant, and in service to humanity while on your sojourn on Earth:)

I AM YOU, YOU ARE ME, WE ARE EVERYTHING
