The full moon in Aquarius is exact on August 19 at 2:26 p.m. eastern time. And the energy behind it is potentially mind-blowing!

For one thing, this is a supermoon and a blue moon. A super moon is a full moon that is particularly close to Earth. As a result, it will appear to be a lot larger in the sky than it usually does. If you have a chance, observe it with your own eyes during the evening hours. With the moon being so close to us physically, pay attention to your emotional reactions as well, especially in the early days of this full moon cycle.

As far as this being a blue moon, it is so called because it is the third of four full moons we will have during this summer season. Usually, there are only three full moons total during each season, so this is special indeed.

Not only that, this full moon in Aquarius is directly opposite Mercury retrograde in Leo, which of course means that the sun and Mercury are together in Leo in perfect alignment. When the sun and Mercury retrograde are conjunct, which happens during every Mercury retrograde, it marks the midpoint of the Mercury retrograde transit. Right now, you may start to get some mental clarity about any Mercury retrograde-related issues that you may have experienced in the past few weeks.

With this alignment of the sun and Mercury happening at the same time as the full moon, some emotional truths may be highlighted for you—which may not be the most comfortable thing in the world, but it’s certainly not a bad thing in the long-run. It may be the breakthrough you need to heal from and resolve issues.

Keep these things in mind as you work with the energies of the full moon in Aquarius. Also, try to embody the traits of the Aquarius archetype, which include independent thinking and humanitarianism.

Full moons are great for eliminating what no longer serves your highest good, and Aquarius is an air sign, which has a focus on the thinking process. As such, consider getting rid of negative thought patterns that keep you from showing up in the world as an individual. Remember that it’s okay to be your unique, quirky, and authentic self.

And just as you would not want to be subjected to judgment, restriction, and bias, think in terms of equality for all. Start with the people in your own circle, and respect the rights of all to be who they are, as well.
