Full Moon, 18 August 2016, Aquarius

Exact time & zodiac degree of this moon | Understanding Full Moons |

At this Full Moon partial eclipse in Aquarius, tension between two or more major parts of yourself reaches a climax, but take heart because Aquarius is known for bringing flashes of innovation. Perhaps one part of you wants to win the Olympics, but another part wants to kick back and enjoy a steady 9 to 5 job. Or perhaps the tension is between parent and child; boss and employee; husband and wife. Whatever the scenario in your life, it’s like being married to two, three, even four people at once! How can you keep pleasing them all? Is something unsustainable going on? There’s a great desire to rebel or run away from the very thing you might need to sit down and work through. Be in the feelings of agony of ‘no solution in sight’ so that you and your soul can wash out old fears and break free into new solutions together. The soul is at its most inspired when vulnerable emotions are expressed. If you were to let go of one of the major parts of yourself, what would you fear losing? What would your future feel like without it? Could you bear to live in that future? Imagining a future without one of your major parts will help you find ingenious ways to reprioritise its place in your life. This Aquarius Full Moon removes rose-coloured blindspots so that we pay attention to how many hours there are in a day and factor in time for the most important parts in our lives, especially those that have felt overlooked or even neglected up until now.
