Western or Tropical astrology: Aug. 19th, the full moon is in Aquarius 11:26 am PDT.
Aquarius has the joint planetary rulership of Saturn, representative of strong authority figures, lessons to be learned, self-discipline, work, organization, responsibilities, and karma, and Uranus, whose influence is equaled with unexpected changes, revolution, and the desire for freedom. Even though big-hearted Aquarians are known to be humanitarians, its planetary rulers can make a spicy mix of emotional, electrical waves. Saturn’s energy may say yes to limitations and conformity, while Uranus dances to a different tune and rebels against them. You may hear one voice saying, “Go for it”, and another whispering, “Wait!” “What should I do?” can become a repetitive drumbeat in the background of your mind.
Look to the light of the stars. It’s the perfect time to jump on the bandwagon of your dreams and move forward to benefit realistic ambitions. Think about turning your thoughts to positive affirmations such as “I can do this!” “I will succeed!” or, “I feel good about the person who I have become and am becoming!”
Push for your own soul discovery and give your shadow a kick in the ass. You, not your mother, father, your lover, shaman, or therapist, are responsible for creating the heaven where you can find peace of mind. And yes, with Mercury presently retrograde, you may have to work a little harder at smoothing out the bump on your highway to your unknown future. Just remember, inside your being lives the strength to carve your pathway to happiness.
Blessing to you and those who move in your cosmic orbit,
