Aquarius Full Moon: Tune in and listen to the cosmic death poetry

I pulled a card for this full moon, for all of us. Since this full moon is energetically lit with an incredible, vivid contrast, I wanted to know more about the poetry Spirit told me about… and here it is in this card:

This card says, “The sense of loss was tempered with the joy of release and the promise of regeneration.” (Ryan & Matthews, 2011, p. 63)

That’s just the point of this full moon, perhaps. But there is more.

It does have some questions. Take your time reading them.

How can we stay “available” as an observer? How to be ‘in the poetry’ and not merely the object of its annihilation? How do we release the center-point of the obstacle within our framework as a ‘someone’ experiencing the ending of our former selves, cast off into flames? Can we not just go poof in the night, wake up gently, and be refreshed? Must the ending be so harsh?

If you’ve been feeling deeply from the nourishing invitation of the previous new moon in Cancer, you might have made yourself a softer bed to lie on, as you collapse into oblivion, that is…

The answer, I believe, is to tune into that lowest hum of the cosmic voice. It reads like poetry to your heart if it uses its ears…yeah you read that right, and it’s not mere synesthesia.

In true Aquarian style: the cosmos/your heart is saying something quite unique for each and everyone one of us. Your own body is the instrument to retrieve this. You use your senses to find it, but you also transcend those very senses in the process of recognizing them. Take your time. Read slowly.

So if this link down below doesn’t embed properly, it’s fair game to just tune in by yourself and putting “additional information” aside. (Looks like it ended up being a link. It should, at the very least, open in a new tab for you.) If you chose to tune into yourself and see if you heard anything, even better. The video at the link is long and you might not have the time for it, so precede with the text, instead. It’s your call.

With this Full Moon in Aquarius conjunct Pluto AND opposite the Sun in Leo conjunct Jupiter: the very ‘bright’ meets the very ‘dark.’ It’s a stark difference in consciousness for those who are observers. It’s full of endings and detachment. It’s a full moon for the record books that says, “this is what I learned (what burned), and this is what I definitely didn’t learn (I might do it again, I’m not safe yet!), and here’s how I am going to move forward, regardless (it’s time to be more brave and remove myself from attempting to control outcomes).” Why? Because outcomes are not the point.

The nodes have recently swept out of Pisces/Virgo, so we aren’t looking for either perfection nor redemption anymore.We have lost patience with anything like that. Do you see that Mars square Venus? That’s a nice, feisty aspect. It can bring the spicy you need for any additional purge. It adds additional rev and verve. Look closely, it might sparkle.

This is not your time to spring forward though. It’s more of a step-aside–a taking of assessment. Saturn recently stationed retrograde, which to me, supports my point. Take a deeper inward breath, and gaze at that dang navel. If you do this with gentleness, it will lead you back into the world of community, of humanity–the humanity that has hope and vision, and the one that WILL adapt. Because adaptation is really what is called for. Adaptation is your calling. It’s not a wholesale destruction. It’s an opening point that can only show itself after you’ve really allowed yourself to clear the smoke of all those fires within and without burning relentlessly… the Fires that have been blazing and necessitating your attention. We aren’t here to put out the fire. We are here to really get aligned with the purpose of the fire, really hear and know its message. That’s going to be different for each and every one of you.

I will mention, though, that with all that Leo energy, it’s quite possible you might spontaneously combust and burn into the person you weren’t meant to leave behind, leaving the luminosity of Spirit, the one who guides you, ever more at the forefront.

Fly the kite: Aquarius full Moon 2025

In astrology world, we have been looking at the grand trine formation of Uranus in Libra, connecting with Pluto in Aquarius, connecting with Mars in Libra. Everyone will have their own interpretation of this. The astrological wisdom is to to say that a trine is the “easy flow” between energies or aspects of consciousness tied to these planets as archetypal themes in our matrix. The kite is further formed because of the Mars opposition to Saturn: Mars in Libra is on the opposite sign/side of Saturn in Aries. Saturn isn’t by itself either–its been working through “Dream/Illusion/Spiritual Transcendance” Neptune. Saturn and Neptune are one of the most talked about transits because they won’t come into exact conjunction until February 2026. They are currently retrograde in Aries, soon to go back into Pisces, and then will go direct again and head into Aries for the full, long stay. Neptune the further away planet will be in Aries for a very long time, approx 14 years. So its trend is much more persistent.

Themes for Saturn/Neptune conjunction — (that has been squaring all the Cancer planets one by one through transit.)

  • Dream vs. Reality
  • Making dreams into Reality
  • Feeling forced to give up dreams by Saturn limitations
  • Uncertainty about what is dream and what is real
  • Saturnian discipline helping to parse out and work out Neptunian dreams and ideals
  • Daydreams and escapes of fantasy— and Saturnian consequences
  • New forms of artistic inspiration (Neptune) with different forms (Saturn)
  • and the possibilities go on? For example: Saturn/Neptune conjunct is asking: “What really is possible here?”

The bottom part of the Kite is another harmonious aspect with Uranus in Sextile to Pluto. Sextile, is just 60 degrees and yes, the metaphor is “as above so below,” so a sextile aspect in astrospeak is a productive energy of communication between themes of novelty (Uranus) and transformation (Pluto).

This early week, upcoming, we also have a beautiful conjunction with Venus in Jupiter August 12, right after Mercury stations direct on August 11. That plays into the fold as Venus and Jupiter make their annual conjunction this year in the sign of Cancer. The place where the sun just was! Family is soooo important. It takes center stage importance. Jupiter amplies. Venus softens and beautifies. Venus wants to relate and create. We are best to lean into our comforts, to help make lives more comfortable for others, and to get settled into the big feelings that come up with a lot of Cancer-type energy. Thus, in comes the perfect balancing support:

The Aquarius Full Moon

I’m delighted to say that a good Aquarius Full Moon can help with detachment. It helps us to get a bird’s eye view and step aside the very intense yet meaningful energies of all the other planetary happenings. We have also more support from the stars. This is a magnificent time of the year where the Perseids are streaming like the best annual show you ever saw! If we take a moment to look up at the stars in the expanse of the dark night, we get to see, truly see, our connection within the cosmos and it’s not a mystery, completely, this science of space and meteors affecting our planet’s experience! I hope you can enjoy!

One beautiful Full Moon is not going to eliminate all our problems, but alas, it might help us to get some distance from them. When that happens, the spaciousness can lend itself to some new energies which can give rise to new experiences and maybe, just maybe, that can help you to take a break, or make a break for some better experience.

I wanted to have more time to find some better videos and write a better post, but this is what was available. I hope you all enjoyed! Let me know in the comets if you are gonna get a change to see the Perseids this year. I am going to miss them at my favorite viewing spot, but I hope to see them next year!

Happy Star Gazing! Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes. I’ve got Aquarius Rising and S. Node in Aquarius so this Full Moon leaves me a bit satisfied to take a step back and feel some SPACE.
