The first supermoon of the year arrives on August 19, and it’s here to usher all zodiac signs into a new era of embracing authenticity, letting go of judgment, and allowing your individuality to shine.
That’s because the August supermoon—traditionally nicknamed the Sturgeon Moon—is rising in the eccentric and innovative sign of Aquarius. It’s also facing the confident sun in its bright native sign of Leo, prompting you to consider the role you play in others’ lives and feel more comfortable expressing yourself openly. There are some challenging but constructive planetary alignments happening alongside this lunation, but for a few lucky zodiac signs, the growing pains won’t feel as sensitive.
+ 3 Zodiac Signs Should Prepare for Impact During Mercury Retrograde
Aquarius zodiac energy is rebellious and unconventional, so this full moon is asking you to let your freak flag fly proudly—even if it means dealing with some challenges and letting go of things that aren’t serving you. The full moon is facing off with retrograde Mercury, highlighting some of the mental confusions of the backspin and giving them more context.
Collectively, the sun, moon, and Mercury will clash with the unpredictable planet Uranus, promising electrifying shocks and out-of-the-ordinary surprises that will force you to think outside the box and push the limits of your comfort zone.
But these planetary disputes aren’t even half the story. Nearly all the zodiac’s major planets are being dragged into the drama under this full moon, as loving Venus will be in a strong opposition to stern Saturn, and both will be squared off with fiery Mars and expansive Jupiter. Both squares and oppositions can be volatile aspects, as they cry out for the need for change and force you to make moves.
So, while you may feel frustrated by some of the things that come up under this full moon, trust that by facing them head-on and finding some solutions, you’ll learn valuable lessons that will open new doors you can’t even imagine yet.
Everyone should prepare for a big moon, big feelings, and big changes—as well as a big opportunity for growth. But as for the two zodiac signs least affected by the August full moon, they should thank their lucky stars for getting through it a little easier than most.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
As the sign ruled by the moon itself, there’s rarely a lunation that you don’t feel significantly—and the August full moon is no exception. However, compared to most zodiac signs, your everyday life won’t be as disrupted by this cosmic event. The full moon is hitting your mysterious eighth house, bringing some deep-seated secrets, fears, and vulnerabilities to the surface.
It’s time to reassess where you’re directing your energy. Is it going toward work, relationships, or self-improvement? Or are there energy vortices in your life that aren’t worth your time and effort? Keep your ears and heart open, because the answers you seek will eventually find their way to you.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The August full moon is hitting your financial sector, so it’s time to check in on your finances—and it will be helpful to think outside the box if you need to make some adjustments. You can be a bit of a traditionalist at times, Capricorn, especially with your material resources. But doing things the same way without thinking just because it’s “how you’ve always done it” isn’t always the wisest choice, and sometimes a small risk can bring a big reward.
Mercury is retrograde, so it’s not a good time to make volatile money moves or high-risk investments. However, it might be time to push the boundaries of your comfort zone a bit and examine things from a different angle.
