Sunday morning, August 22nd, 2021 begins with the full moon in Aquarius coming to an end. This is the second full moon in a row in Aquarius, and it occurs at 29 ° of the water carrier at 8:02 a.m. ET. A full moon on the last stage of a sign generally means there will be abrupt endings, hairpin turns, and the completion of plans. In other words, this full moon accompanies many situations and scenarios that close the circle. On top of that, this full moon is (again) in Aquarius, the sign that currently hosts both Saturn and Jupiter, and it’s safe to say that digesting difficult lessons is in the stars.

It’s not all bad, though. The full moon connects Jupiter and enhances the ability to catapult in the direction of growth. Meanwhile, Mars in Virgo Uranus (the ruler of Aquarius) is in trigons and is offering another heavy dose of help as well.

Interestingly, however, the moon goes out naturally right after the sun and full moon are exactly the opposite of each other and shortly afterwards changes into Pisces, which underlines the intensity of the full moon on Sunday morning. So if you wake up anxious and dazed, consider it nothing more than a full moon hangover, but also do the job of realizing what is going on emotionally so that you can make appropriate and necessary adjustments. Here, too, this full moon closes the circle of stories and means an end, and it overshadows the coming week very much.

When you wake up dazed and scared, think of it as a full moon hangover … Do the job of realizing what is going on emotionally so that you can make appropriate and necessary adjustments.

Come on the evening of the 22nd, the sun sets in Virgo and hits another page in this upside-down year. The Virgo season challenges us to prioritize the establishment of order in our lives, the health of our bodies, and the service of others. With chaos constantly erupting around the world, it is so easy to feel helpless – but remember, there is tremendous power in rolling up your sleeves and working on what you need to know. I would also like to emphasize the importance of walking the fine line between getting adequate information about the news and over-consuming (or avoiding) it. With the Sun in Virgo (along with Mercury and Mars) it can now get a little easier to strike a balance between information and action.

Speaking of balance: Venus, the planet of love and beauty, now in Libra, forms a happy trine to Saturn on Tuesday. When Venus makes an air trine to Saturn (Saturn and Venus are both in air signs) they form a harmonic angle that can correspond to a sigh of relief. So expect breakthroughs in thinking, especially regarding lessons in love and living in harmony with your core values ​​of life.

On Thursday the 26th, Venus faces Chiron, the wounded healer, while Mercury is in Capricorn in the Virgo trine Pluto. Please circle this day and pay close attention to what comes next. While the opposition of Venus to Chiron can reveal a heartfelt tenderness, Mercury’s trine to Pluto means that obligations remain.

This is especially important because the week ahead calls us to clear our path by looking for and eliminating aspects of our lives, homes, and routines that no longer serve us. As we close in August, it’s so important to look back and write down where you last went and correct course so that you stay on your way as we enter the Virgo season. The word to keep in mind for the week ahead: optimize.
