Aquarius Full Moon, August 13, 2011
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
The Beatles
While the Sun moves through a new zodiac sign every month, the Moon travels at a different pace, visiting all 12 signs of the zodiac each month. At the time of the Full Moon, the Moon stands opposite the Sun, fully reflecting the sunlight and transforming it into the cool silvery light of the night sky. Full moons offer us a chance to reflect on the Sun's energy. When the Sun is in the sign of Leo, the Full Moon occurs in the opposite sign of Aquarius. At the Full Moon, we are asked to become aware of how the two opposite signs complement, rather than fight, each other so we can use their energies in the best possible ways.
The Sun in Leo engages our creativity, our child-like playfulness, our need to express ourselves in a warm, glowing way. Leo is the Sun-King, the Sun-Queen - the epitome of summer and life. The opposite sign of Aquarius is a wintery sign (in the northern hemisphere), a time of crystal clear, cold nights when the universe is spread out before our wondering eyes. In Leo, we look at our life here on Earth and create. In Aquarius, we look to the Heavens and wonder.
