The electric full moon August 15

This month's full moon falls at 23 degrees of Aquarius and the lunar peak occurs at 8:29AM, EST August 15. The energy is building at the time of this post and will be very powerful August 14th, the day before. Aquarius is about originality, shocks, independence and freedom. It is also about equality and humanity in general.

Expect to see excitability, drama and erratic behavior and circumstances. The Moon opposes the Sun, Venus and Mars all in Leo. Don't be surprised if things if things don't get quite heated later in the day/evening with the Moon's opposition to Mars. The Moon involves women, our emotions and family members, and Mars rules anger, upset and men to name a few. 

While the Leo planets are flashy if not demanding of attention, Aquarius is typically cool and detached. As Jupiter provides a trine to the Leo planets we can expect to see vanity and egos on full display that get blown out of proportion. Now is the time to try a new and different approach to something.

That said, with Jupiter's positive trine the time is now to have some last minute summer fun as this is the last time we will see these Leo planets for a year. When the planets shift into Virgo in a few days this will be a major change in energy.

As Jupiter has just turned direct, its square to Neptune is also very powerful. This can show up as an idealistic, dreamy time with an interest in spiritual or creative matters OR it can manifest as delusion, illusion and confusion. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Mercury is square Uranus at 6 degrees of Leo/Taurus, and this becomes exact August 16. This becomes part of the full moon energy and is prone to unexpected events and changeability. It could manifest as unexpected news, changeability, computer problems, issues with communication or young people. It is especially important to be cautious while driving as Mercury rules cars. Stay focused. Also watch your communication and sending emails.

This will affect everyone with a Uranus transit at 5-7 degrees and if you were affected by the new moon August 1, this will affect you as well, more than other people.

On the world stage expect to hear issues around communication, technology or hackings, and/or aviation or transport problems or accidents.The collective will be stirred up and there will be an element of the individual versus the world view or world structures. We will hear news of young women, finance and scandals. We could hear more sudden if not explosive, volatile and unexpected news. Uranus typically inclines toward shocking events.
