Welcome to August 2024. This month, the cosmos invites us to take a step back and recharge, particularly as Mercury goes retrograde. When this happens, Venus moves into healing Virgo, and the sky darkens with a new moon in lush Leo. Together, these transits teach us that events with seemingly negative connotations, such as Mercury retrograde, can become opportunities for rest and rejuvenation with the right perspective.
Adding to this cosmic ballet, Juno, the asteroid of commitment enters relationship-oriented Libra. This transit blesses both platonic and romantic relationships, urging us to be patient and nurturing with those we love. The celestial events of August 2024 remind us to balance work with relaxation, helping us to navigate the month with grace and mindfulness.
On August 19, the night sky will be graced by an extraordinary full moon,
which will be a supermoon, blue moon, and sturgeon moon all at once.
This rare combination offers a unique moment for reflection, transformation, and manifestation. The increased brightness and red tint of the moon provide a powerful opportunity for personal growth, deep introspection, and setting future goals.
The Supermoon’s Illuminating Energy
A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth, known as perigee. On August 19, the moon will be approximately 226,000 miles from Earth, making it appear significantly larger and brighter than usual. Astrologically, this increased luminosity amplifies the full moon’s energies, creating a peak moment of clarity and illumination. This is an opportune time to set and refine your intentions, gain insights into your personal growth, and focus on achieving your long-term goals.
The Influence of the Sturgeon Moon
The full moon on August 19 is also known as the Sturgeon Moon, named after the sturgeon fish that were abundant in North American lakes during this time. In astrology, the Sturgeon Moon symbolizes abundance, wisdom, and transformation. This moon invites us to reflect on our achievements and consider how we can continue to grow. It’s an ideal moment to assess our resources and plan for future prosperity.
Take this time to explore areas in your life where you seek growth and abundance,
setting actionable goals to manifest these desires.
The Blue Moon Effect
Adding to the complexity, this full moon is also a blue moon, which in astrological terms refers to the second full moon within a single calendar month. While the term “blue moon” might suggest a blue hue, this moon will actually take on a red tint due to atmospheric conditions. This red hue symbolizes intense emotions and transformation. The rarity of the blue moon emphasizes the importance of using this time for profound change and deep introspection. It’s a moment to evaluate your personal and spiritual progress and to realign your goals with your true desires.
Embrace Emotional Freedom with the Full Moon in Aquarius:
A full moon in Aquarius can be a politically intense day, so consider logging off for your mental health. As the sun moves into healing Virgo, the stars continue to emphasize rest and work/life balance. Focus on making your to-do lists manageable rather than overwhelming, a theme amplified by Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, also moving into Virgo. When nurturing Ceres moves into hardworking Capricorn, the lesson of prioritizing wellness is underscored. Mercury goes direct at the end of the month, just in time for Venus to move into its home sign of Libra, blessing all relationships.
Your relationship with your emotions might feel more complex under the Aquarius moon, as it brings a strong need for emotional freedom. However, being in a group can help you understand your feelings and free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger, and jealousy.
Harnessing the Supermoon’s Energy
To make the most of this supermoon, engage in reflective practices. Meditate on your goals, perform rituals to release what no longer serves you, and set clear intentions for what you wish to manifest. This is also a potent time to make significant life changes or embark on new projects.
Embrace the transformational energies of this full moon to recalibrate your life path
and align with your higher purpose.
