An entire book could be written on Monday’s aspects alone. This Full Moon is a microphone loudly broadcasting what needs to change in your life – beginning with Love. A Venus T square pulls in Jupiter and Saturn. Nearby Mars brings in the courage to break away from a toxic, controlling, or stagnant partner. Is it time to move on?

The Full Moon is also in a T square with Uranus, the Sun, and Mercury retrograde. There may be the impulse to make rash decisions.

This full moon is challenging. It gives you the feeling of being pulled in four directions simultaneously, hopefully putting you back together in a better way. The kicker is that “expect the unexpected” Uranus makes a direct challenge to the full moon.

On a higher level, Uranus helps you revolutionize your value system so you can live in a higher balance. But, easier said than done because the planet of revolutions, accidents, earthquakes and the willingness for something new regardless of the cost is shaking up your comfortable life.

The planetary situation is quite extreme. This energy is ruled by Mars, and is headstrong and violent. It could also highlight problems with relationships. Talk things through. Don’t allow yourself to get angry or say things you don’t mean.

Mars is intense right now because at this Full Moon in Aquarius – Jupiter and Mars are together in Gemini – which expands Mar’s powerful, let’s fight energy. Mars has crossed over the 23 degree mark – which can create problems around the world.

This can be like a warlike energy – so everyone needs to be conscious – aware, and protective; especially in Chicago at the Democrat Convention. Remember, if you connect with your spirit – you will be fine, although it may be hard to believe that when you see all that’s happening out there in the world.

At this Full Moon the Sun and Moon are opposite and the Sun in Leo is with Mercury retrograde in Leo, so things will not be as easy; things are already in turmoil and crazy. Then Venus in Virgo is opposite Saturn in Pisces – so we have to look at our love relationships. This aspect is like sandpaper and usually brings in separation. Don’t be reactive = take that deep breath before you respond.

Jupiter/Mars are squaring Saturn and Venus – causing a hard T square. This will bring a stalemate problem. People are stubborn and don’t want to give up and adjust their belief system. Leaders don’t want to give up, give in, or compromise – bringing in a stalemate. It will eventually come around – but not at this point.

With Mars and Jupiter together in the area of the Weeping Sisters of Pleades – we will be having some strong moments – perhaps damage from demonstrators at the Convention – or planning to go to war.

Please – I’m asking you to pay attention to what’s happening in your own life – with your relationships – you have to be responsible for saying the right thing, doing the right thing, and be loving. Don’t cause any further separation than what’s happening now.

The other aspect is don’t add to the fuel of the violence and the anger that’s going on – work on binging in more peace – that’s what we all want – don’t listen to the media that’s trying to get us all to fight. We’re good! We really do want to get along with others and the community.

The way the planets are forming – I know there will be more separation – as you know – I see a big split happening in the US as well as around the world. Globally, people are having a hard time getting along.

Add to that, Mercury retrograde has just entered the second half of the cycle urging you to work on future projects. Remember to keep a degree of flexibility so you can adjust after Mercury turns direct on August 28. Do the best you can because there is an abundance of planets in fixed signs (Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio). Fixed signs want to stay in their groove but Uranus wants to kick you out of that comfortable rut.

There is help from the adaptable signs of Virgo, Pisces and Gemini. Planets currently in these signs are helping you open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. The plan is to create a strategy to bring your higher vision into the mundane world. Know that eclipses are coming very soon, and they bring hidden things and motivations up to the surface.

This Full Moon marks a time of another big incident coming around – so it’s all happening now – be aware – be careful – take care.

Do get some play time in regardless of that “be practical” voice nagging you from within. You will be happy you made some time for fun while you are able.
