The August 15th Full Moon (22 deg Aquarius) opposes a Sun/Venus conjunction in Leo. A Full Moon is peak illumination, so this should be a bright light on what you want or love. It will be public, showy, romantic and a bit surprising due to Aquarius’ energy of disruption.

Note the contrast between Aquarius (objective) and Leo (subjective) with the Moon/Venus opposition: heightened wants and needs in opposition create tension that adds urgency. This won’t be a smooth influence – there will be some shocks (even if they’re sweet) and certainly some fireworks.

This one feels like getting what you want in unexpected ways, or having your values/relationship upended in a very obvious way. Full Moons are culminations, so this will be an ending or result- for the most part, it should deliver something very nice but if there is an abrupt ending, know that there will be a sense of freedom afterwards.

This Moon squares Vesta (focus, devotion) in Venus-ruled Taurus, so there will also be a bit of tension around your focus on security/habits/resources versus the dramatic results. What you want or receive will conflict with what you’re trying to preserve. This can either be a possessive influence (you obsessively focus on what you own) or a cautious influence (dramatic developments jar your fixation on what feels safe). Aquarius’ freedom will challenge Taurus’ fixed refusal to budge, so it will be interesting to see how you work with the Moon’s dramatic results. Know that things must change and if you want to get best out of this one, you may have to loosen your grip.
