Full Moon in Aquarius, the meaning for each zodiac sign

The full moon is the moment when the earth's satellite reaches its maximum splendour, which triggers a nostalgic feeling with a romantic tone in us on summer nights. The full moon is always in opposition to the astrological season we are in (Sun in Leo), and on this night of 19 August it is in the sign of Aquarius, the last of the air signs. A very special full moon will light up the sky for two reasons: Firstly, it is a supermoon, which means its orbit is closer to the Earth than usual, making it particularly large, bright and easy to see, and secondly, it is a blue moon, the only one in 2024, which means it is the third full moon in an astronomical season in which four full moons occur.

What does the full moon in Aquarius mean?

Independence and rebellion is what this full moon, which is ruled by Uranus, the planet of change, screams. Aquarius is the unconventional sign par excellence, a bastian who needs to revolutionise his life. Ideas and thoughts take centre stage in this air sign, where they seek their own space and their own voice. The full moon is always a good time to let go and welcome something new. With Aquarius comes the time of renewal, to free ourselves from all that is comfortable and “ethical”, to soar high with our dreams and ideals. The Full Moon invites us to find a new balance between the ego, the need to express ourselves and put ourselves in the spotlight (Sun in Leo), and the collective, the need to stand out from the crowd with our ideas (Moon in Aquarius). We always try to be ourselves without fear of judgement from others. It is important to do things only when it suits our own will and not to please others.

Full moon in Aquarius, the meaning for each sign of the zodiac

Aries: New doors will open for you thanks to the acquaintances you make. You feel like moving around in new environments and with new people; everyday life has taken its toll on you. Widen your net, you will see how stimulating this can be for you.

Taurus: Take the successes and failures that have been part of your journey in your stride and accept them without judgement. A new sowing is imminent, which will come to a conclusion and bear new fruit. Your ambitions need to find their finish line.

Gemini: You've switched off mode, but that's enough, reactivate and go. You are not made for a sedentary life, movement must not be missing, throw yourself into new activities without giving room to the fears you often make for yourself, live the adventure.

Cancer: Overcome your fears; you will find the courage to assert yourself. Assert yourself, make your presence felt amidst the chaos that has arisen. It's the perfect time to thoroughly sort through your life; anything you consider unhealthy must be eliminated.

Leo: The time brings a re-evaluation of your choices; you know who you can and can't trust. Leave behind relationships that you call all smoke and no fire and allow yourself to shine amongst many stars and don't allow your light to be dimmed.

Virgo: Lay your cards on the table anew, don't take responsibility for others, let them carry the burden themselves. Slow down and pause sometimes to savour the moment without doing anything.
