August 26th   

4:46 AM PT – Full Moon at 3° of Pisces

The full moon in Pisces can be used as a ritual bath. A rinsing off of the residue. A cleansing of the pallet from the massive meals that Eclipse Season offered up.

This is the first lunation that is clear of the shadows that the eclipses of July and August cast. The first full moon free from obstruction. The first lunation in a while that is supportive in its nature. Sextile both Saturn and Uranus, the full moon bridges good building skills with innovative initiatives.

Full of sensitivity and imagination, the full moon focuses on our healing. As the psychic waters of Pisces point us towards our intuitive understanding of what we need to mend our broken hearts, the sun in Virgo tells us exactly how to apply the salve. Our pain can be, at times, all consuming, but understanding its details can make all the difference. 

Affirmations for this full moon:

I am in this pain, but not of it. I am experiencing this pain, but I am more than it. I am aware of this pain, and know that this iteration of it is temporary. This is a part of my story, a key to the chapters of my life, and there is still more to tell, more to come, and more to experience.

Venus in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn, both at 18°

This aspect deepens the day’s messages as much gets unpacked in regards to relationship dynamics that push our buttons. Working through the power issues that plague us is a top priority.

When we feel disempowered in a dynamic it’s a cue to meditate on where and when we gave up our power, and where and how we can take it back.

Clarifying what needs to be purged from our relationship dynamics, and offering a transformative alternative to work with, Venus square Pluto can be a little harsh in its tactics, obsessive in its nature, and demanding in its ways. Go easy on yourself and others. Full moons magnify whatever is happening, making mountains out of molehills and examples out of our reactions to whatever is happening.

Horoscope for Gemini 

The professional projects that you have been working hard to accomplish, get a signal boost from August’s full moon.

It’s time to let your career goals shine.

Give them encouragement by building a space for them to exist. Give them a chance by taking the actions that demonstrate your unwavering faith in them. Give them hope by declaring their absolute inevitability.

At this stage in the game you have a clearer understanding of what is a professional imperative if you are to deliver upon your promises to yourself and everyone else.

A mature approach to what you are working on will never let you or your colleagues down.

Since the spring you’ve been made increasingly aware of how important it is, for both your personal and professional life, to process the feelings that are coming to consciousness for you. Anything that had to formerly be a secret, or was kept from you for whatever reason, is now coming to light. As it does you get to put more pieces of your own puzzle together. Incredible insights into the behaviors which have previously gotten in your own way reveal themselves. As you keep uncovering these hidden gems, you are also uncovering your agency to work consciously with them.

This is your key to experiencing more worldly success, but also more internal joy.

As Mars, and then Saturn, station direct over the end of August and beginning of September, you are reminded that how you collaborate is just as important as who you collaborate with. You’ve had a couple of months to review the potentials of your partnerships and it’s now obvious which are able to provide what you need and receive what you have to give.

Knowing your worth is everything in regards to this equation.

The more supported you feel, the more you’ll flourish. The more others are willing to work on their own part of the puzzle, the more you can have faith that your energy and efforts are getting put to good use. The more you are in partnerships with those that you can trust will do the work they need to, the more you’ll be inspired, encouraged, and reminded to do your own. 

Horoscope for Leo Rising

August’s full moon rewards the collaborations in your life that have been worth the work and the wait. The investments that are starting to pay back dividends. The partnerships that bear fruit now, do so sweetly.

It’s your harvest season.

Pay attention to what is working. Which of your crops can, and do, produce in cycles that are sustainable? Take note of who you work well with. Who knows how to take the risks that might bring up your fear but that still fill you with excitement. Take care of those who want your success as much as their own.

Take note of those who don’t. Can’t. Won’t.

It’s healthy to lose interest in the partnerships that run your wells dry. It’s growth to no longer need validation from those that can’t give it. It’s a beautiful thing to get to direct your energy towards what you want and away from what you don’t.

As Mars, and then Saturn, station direct over the end of August and beginning of September, you get released from some of the issues that have been hard to digest at work, in your work, or in regards to who you are working with. You have a tremendous amount of determination at your disposal right now, but it is mixed with the need for a pause here and there. Make sure that you mark moments on your calendar for rest and rejuvenation. Some of your best work will be done far and away from the office, desk, and screen.
