Full Moon In Aquarius – The Truth Will Set You Free by Astro Butterfly
The truth will set you free.
But first, it will piss you off.
At the Full Moon in Aquarius on Monday, August 19th, 2024, unexpected events, insights or revelations will challenge our comfort zones.
And that’s not only because the Full Moon is in the rebellious, breakthrough-oriented sign of Aquarius… but also because the Full Moon is exactly squaring its ruler, Uranus. That’s an Aquarius double whammy, and a double dose of breakthrough and change.
We have:
Sun at 27° Leo
Moon at 27° Aquarius
Squaring Uranus, at 27° Taurus
The Full Moon in Aquarius forms a fixed T-square with Uranus at the apex. This Full Moon ‘screams’ Uranus.
Unexpected outcomes might take us by surprise. Sudden developments may ask us to rethink our approach or adapt quickly to new circumstances. Newfound clarity may help us understand the reality of a matter that we previously overlooked.
A word about Uranus.
Uranus is almost synonymous with the tagline “expect the unexpected” because Uranus rules change, disruption of the status quo, and radical breakthroughs.
But what often happens when we have a Uranus transit is that while the changes may feel sudden, deep down, we kind of knew it all along.
Somehow, our higher self knew the truth.
It’s our material, 3D Self that hasn’t quite caught up with Uranus’s message.
Uranus is the first planet that is invisible to the naked eye. This means that its influence is subtle, invisible, and operates on a different plane of awareness. Uranus works differently. We might not ‘see’ the signs, even with our glasses on. That’s because with Uranus, we need to look beyond the obvious.
We need to tap into a subtler reality that is not governed by our physical senses and ordinary perception.
In Uranus’ realm, concepts and ideas are formed and seeded long before they manifest. This is where the blueprint for change begins.
In astrology, Uranus is the father sky. When Uranus’ lightning strikes the earth, electricity is sparked, and life is formed.
Uranus, the higher octave of Mercury, is like the higher brain of the Universe. Uranus has a meta perspective and the ability to ‘see’ beyond the mundane.
Whatever happens during a Uranus transit comes from the higher realms of existence. What occurs during a Uranus transit is always the right thing, even if it doesn’t seem that way.
First, It Will Piss You Off
So if Uranus is guiding us toward the right thing, why do we resist it? Why does it piss us off at first?
It’s because there’s a gap between how we make sense of the world (through the planets up to Saturn), what we think things should be, and what truly makes sense from a higher perspective (Uranus).
Saturn teaches us to ‘follow the plan’, ‘set objectives’, ‘work our way to success’, and ‘try harder’. To achieve our objectives, we follow a script, a plan, and we hold onto a specific outcome we hope will play out.
But things rarely work out the way we plan.
Why? Because in life there are simply too many variables at play, and what makes sense to us as individuals does not necessarily align with the higher perspective of the universe.
When things don’t go as expected, we get frustrated. We get pissed off. We blame the world. We blame Uranus, the planet of the “unexpected.”
This resistance is an absolutely normal part of the process of growth and change, and a natural progression from living our lives on Saturn’s terms, to inviting Uranus’ higher perspective.
The Truth Will Set You Free
Yet, after the dust settles, when we look back, we often see that Uranus’ intervention was a blessing in disguise. It was the right thing, the natural thing, even if it wasn’t what we initially wanted.
Uranus’s strange serendipities and disruptions eventually lead us closer to the truth and further along our path.
The crisis we experienced, however unsettling, was the catalyst for much-needed change.
You may be familiar with the ancient Chinese character for “crisis,” which is composed of two parts: one that means “danger” or “threat” and the other that means “opportunity” or “crucial point.”
This means that a threat contains, within its DNA, the seed of an opportunity.
A crisis has a way of making us fully connect with ourselves and the world. And from that place of aliveness and alignment, we see things more clearly. A “Eureka” moment emerges, and from that higher perspective, we understand the bigger picture. Things just ‘click’.
At the Full Moon in Aquarius, connect yourself with that part of you that is attuned to the energy of Uranus and Aquarius.
And ask yourself:
What am I resisting, and why?
What is Uranus trying to show me? What is the higher perspective? What opportunities are hidden within the challenges I’m facing?
