It's called the "super blue moon" because it's bigger and brighter than usual, and it's the 2nd full moon of August.
The Leo-Aquarius axis leads us to reflect on our balance between thinking of ourselves and thinking of others, between individualism and communitarianism. The Aquarian paradox is that he's very idealistic and dreams of community life, and at the same time, he can be very solitary and "in his bubble". It's important to strike a balance between the two, and to think about how my individuality can serve and enrich the community.
Saturn retrograde will be very close to this Full Moon, which may lead us to be more introspective. We may experience fatigue, sadness, gloom, pessimism, emotional insecurity or be more serious than usual. Wounds from the past may surface. However, this is an excellent time for introspection and meditation, going back into the past to sort it out.
The full moon takes place in the portion of Aquarius called Shatabhishak (Formalhaut star), which means "a hundred remedies". This star is linked to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing! Its symbol is a white circle, inviting us to feel our unity with all that is and our wholeness. It is ruled by Varuna, god of cosmic and terrestrial waters.
The Sun is aligned with Regulus, the star of ancestors and ancient traditions. This is a good time to connect with the unbroken chain of generations, to remember where we come from, and to release our ancestral and family karma through the healing work we do on ourselves.
The many retrograde planets lead us to revisit our past, to settle it, to introspect, to move forward. Venus is retrograde until September 4, Mercury, until September 15, Pluto until October 10, Saturn until November 4, Neptune until December 6, Uranus until January 27 and Jupiter will become retrograde from September 4 to December 31. Happy full moon!
