Aquarius Full Moon: Clearing the Air

by April Elliott Kent

This Aquarius Full Moon is connected with three heavyweights: Mars, the planet of competition, war, and aggression; Saturn, lord of restraint and boundaries; and Uranus, who craves freedom and independence. This suggests that frustrations have been building since the Leo New Moon (peaking on the volatile July 31-August 1 conjunction of Mars, Uranus, and Moon’s North Node). To keep vibrant, satisfying social connections now, you’ll have to pay alms to several frustrated planets.

Uranus in hard aspect to the Sun can be challenging, even alienating, but it can also bring brilliance and breakthroughs. And that is just what’s on offer at the Aquarius Full Moon.

Banishing Ritual for the Aquarius Full Moon

by Dana Gerhardt

Now is the time for banishing spells!  With the Sun in Leo, you might especially want to banish any worn-out deluded notions of yourself–those mental attitudes that prevent you from living out of the authentic core of your magnificent being.  Think of your magnificence as a flame, passionate, mysterious, forever changing its shape, as it dances and plays with the surrounding world. Banish whatever dilutes your radiance.

Leo New Moon: Making a Comeback

by Simone Butler

This lunation coincides with an exact square between Mercury and Uranus (a wake-up call of its own) and it also occurs just four days before the fateful August 1 conjunction of Mars, Uranus and the karmic North Node in Taurus. Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes peeled through the August 11 Full Moon, which also engages with wild card Uranus. Between now and mid-August, avoid air travel if possible or doing anything especially risky as delays, detours and accidents can occur when Uranus is so prominent.

Leo New Moon Offering: Meet the Sun

by Dana Gerhardt

This month’s New Moon takes place in gold-hearted Leo, whose ruler is the Sun. Astrologers typically describe Leo as extroverted, playful, and creative.

by Dana Gerhardt
