Print article - Saturday’s Full Moon in Aquarius and what it Means for Us

How we might experience the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 24th of July

This week’s Full Moon will be at 1°26’ of Aquarius with the Sun directly opposite at 1°26’ of Leo, so the Sun is in domicile, which will strengthen the creative and fiery energies of the lunation.

With the Full Moon occurring along the Aquarius/ Leo axis, the focus may be primarily on our collective values, events, the greater society and our social personalities, as our individualities within our communities are highlighted.

It’s a Buck Moon!

This Full Moon is also known as the Buck Moon and is named after a male deer’s antlers, which are a sign of fertility. Many different cultures and groups of people around the world can have different names for each Full Moon of the year and they tend to happen around once per month. The Buck Moon is known to have been named by the native Americans.

Venus in Virgo opposes Jupiter

Venus enters Virgo on the 22nd of July, right on the same day as the Sun enters Leo. She will then move forwards over the course of a couple of days to meet into an opposition stand-point with Jupiter in Pisces. Venus is in fall in Virgo, while Jupiter is in domicile in Pisces. However, Jupiter will be retrograde. This means that, while the pair of planets may be able to share some mutually beneficial receptivity, we can be warned of excess attention to detail where it is not needed, especially in love, artistic pursuits and during social gatherings. We may also find we have opportunities to re-assess our social values in light of these things.

Pluto retrograde opposes Mercury

Pluto has been retrograde since late April, so we are already in a period when re-aligning the ways we think and feel socially is appropriate for everybody. We may have all been thinking of ways we can transform our social outlook in ways that can help us in business or at work, while many things have perhaps started to bother us whereas they didn’t before.
Some examples of these are building ourselves and our awareness up again after the Coronavirus pandemic or even realising we need a change of scenery on realising we didn’t like the way the company we worked for acted over the past year. These are typical of the themes that might be on our minds as Pluto opposes Mercury in Cancer, a sign of emotional reflection coupled with objective reasoning.

More about Saturday’s Full Moon in Aquarius

Saturn trines the Moon’s North Node

Saturn has been retrograde since the 24th of May, which is calling on us all to work on our general fears and hang-ups about our social lives. How are we going to work on ourselves so that we can live more freely and authentically?? In a trine to the Moon’s North Node during the time of the Full Moon, this gives the Saturn retrograde a boost in strength, bringing these themes into the forefront of our awareness. With Saturn in Aquarius, we are heading into new territories as a society, so it is time to think about the future and how we are going to manage new expectations with where we are destined to go.

Ceres squares Mars

Ceres is known as one of the four main asteroids in astrology, along with Juno, Pallas, and Vesta. She symbolises womanhood, nurturing and fertility and is thought to be the goddess of grain and cereals. During this Saturday’s Full Moon, she will be forming a square with Mars, so we may find that the health and well-being of others is on our minds a little more than usual. Ceres is in practical Taurus, which is great for her, while Mars is in Leo. This could mean the most nurturing types out there may be in danger of over-nurturing, especially in situations when other people may prefer to be independent, consequently having their feather’s ruffled, which is the opposite of what was intended.

Mercury will trine Neptune

Mercury in Cancer will be forming a lovely trine to Neptune in Pisces, so there may be an air of creativity and dreaminess around the time of the Full Moon. These energies are very supportive for relationships and any type of musical or artistic expressions. They are also very supportive towards higher levels of compassion and empathy as a whole in society.
