Full Moon-Aug.15,2019-Washington, D.C.

This full moon sets off the axis between the sign of Leo-ruled by the Sun where the Sun and Venus (Goddess of love and creativity) are meeting at 22 degrees of Leo and the Moon is residing in the sign of Aquarius-it’s opposite. All the full moons are oppositions between the Sun and Moon. In this case the themes are self- love, creativity sparkling performance in front of audiences as opposed to friendships, groups and humanitarian concerns. The Leo energy is intensified as Mars is aligned with the Sun and Venus in Leo so the creativity and performance aspects are highlighted. Mercury the communicator is also in Leo which further emphasizes the qualities of Leo.It is the time for positive,uplifting communications. Nevertheless, since the Moon represents our emotional needs it is important to maintain a balance between our own need to shine and the importance of maintaining friendships and being a part of a group. This theme is particularly relevant in government where leaders can be so invested in their image as opposed to helping people. There is also a Yod formation called a “finger of God” between the Leo Sun-Venus and Pluto and Neptune so it is a challenging time if one’s ego gets out of hand. There can be confusion and power struggles.

The Planet Jupiter in Sagittarius representing adventures and  expansion is in a positive sextile aspect with the Moon in Aquarius so it’s a great time for travel and adventures with friends or groups but with the square aspect to the Virgo ascendant it’s important for some planning and caution and with the square to Neptune there can be confusion if one gets too impulsive or reckless.

I have done this chart for Washington, D.C. where Virgo is on the ascendant so there is a need for careful planning in any changes made in government and if not, there may be confusion. Also, if communications are not thought out but just spouted out with the Uranus square Mercury there can be unexpected disruptions. If caution is practiced and well planned changes are enacted, things will go more smoothly but that is a big IF with this government.

I just received something that I want to share which relates to this full moon:

“Shine your light Authentically,Share your Unique Genius,And together the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius sing,

Filter your thoughts,words and actions through your heart and use that light in you for the benefit of all.”

Although this full Moon particularly affects people born in the later 3rd of Leo and Aquarius, it also affects everyone and depends on where your own planets were at the time of birth and how they are aspected at this time so personal chart readings are specific to one’s own journey in life.
