Full Moons in General

Full moons coincide with the culmination of the past six months' efforts. They involve tension between what is felt physically or emotionally and what is known or seen.

The sign in which a particular full moon occurs corresponds to a different life area (or "house") for each person depending on one's rising sign. Use the Topics by Rising Sign section at the end of this article to identify which area of your life will be coming to fruition at the time of this full moon.

If you had set intentions six months ago during the new moon in the same sign, use this full moon to take stock of how those plans have worked out. Whether you'd set intentions or not, think about which approaches have served you, and which need to go in order for you to reach your goal. Then plan to drop whatever has proven to hinder your progress over the next six months. Focus on proven, functional approaches.

Chart Features

  • Moon in Aquarius' second decan, applying to conjunct ruler Saturn: This full moon coincides with the culmination of effort related to emotional independence, alienation and detachment. These efforts encounter some kind of reality test, which could either block, delay or legitimize them, depending on how well they do on that test.

  • Sun in Leo's second decan: These emotionally detached efforts stand in contrast to projections of leadership and those who hope to gain respect by performing for others, causing tension.

  • Moon and sun in t-square with North Node, Uranus and Mars in Taurus, with Taurus' ruler Venus in Leo: The tension between the emotionally detached efforts and those who wish for respect and leadership is further complicated by sudden changes to the status quo regarding resources, which could be damaged as a result of hubris, aggression, or natural disasters.

TLDR Summary

Efforts requiring objectivity and emotional detachment encounter a test to see if those efforts have resulted in something realistic, responsible, and lawful. Such efforts cause tension for a leader or performer who desires respect. Meanwhile, volatile resources cause further problems for both the leader/performers and those trying to create something that will realistically stand the test of time.

Recommendations

  1. Review the past six months, specifically regarding emotionally detached goals and actions. Think back to what has happening during the Aquarius New Moon in February 2022 and how things have been going since then.

  2. Check the Topics by Rising Sign list below and think about the corresponding house topics as well. Consider the actions you've been taking in these areas of life and whether they are helping you achieve your goals.

  3. Keep what's working, discard the rest. Leave behind activities that aren't bringing you closer to your ideal vision for belief-driven goals and actions in the life areas specified by the rising sign list. Focus your efforts on those approaches that do work.
