Full Moon at 19 degrees Aquarius

Before Uranus was discovered in 1781, becoming the ruler of Aquarius, Saturn was traditionally the ruler of Aquarius. The Full Moon at 19 degrees Aquarius conjoins Saturn who is hovering around 22 degrees Aquarius these days. That’s a double whammy dose of Saturnian energy. There can be an emotional coolness and somewhat seemingly dispassionate detachment with Saturn in Aquarius.Probably you’ll feel it all the more strongly as the emotional Moon tag teams with Saturn. Saturnian vibes can feel pretty heavy, rife with duty and responsibilities and maybe not feel like too much fun all in all. Saturn also gives needed boundaries and what can feel like limitations can also feel like the right vessel holding all the what-must-be dones.
Saturn provides the work; you provide the sanctification of the work.
If you have a strong Saturn in your chart or if you hold a bit (or a lot) of Capricornian and Aquarian energy you undoubtedly are familiar with this energy and might already know how best to use it for the outcomes you wish to experience. For more soft-edged types, this energy can feel harsh so make sure you create the softness you require to manage Saturnian energy. This means extra pampering as you navigate some denser energy.
The more light you infuse into the week, the easier this Full Moon will feel. It’s so important to remember that the cosmic energies are not happening TO you but rather you are part of the cosmic dance. The energy that you bring to any planetary conditions will influence the way you experience that energy.
Ah…Saturnian responsibility. YOU are responsible for how you experience anything and everything.
Is that not the ultimate freedom – the freedom to have the experience you wish to experience? Whoa. Digest that slowly and completely. Saturn will not in any way allow you to blame or step into any type of victim mentality. Saturn says: get REAL! You are the creator of how you experience your reality.
Choose with your innate wisdom, your own unique Saturnian imprint.
pampering required and lots of rest when Saturn energy is strong
Adding some volatility to this lunation, the Mars-Uranus conjunction (Mars at 25 degrees Taurus and Uranus at 19 degrees Taurus) squares the Full Moon. This is a fairly explosive combo of RELEASE energy. LIke a pressure cooker ready to blow, know that any pent-up energy has to go somewhere and so it will. In your own life, look to any areas where you have not expressed yourself and need to. Rather than letting it get to a point of explosion, do a slow release. Identify what can be done to mitigate high tensions and be exceptionally gentle with yourself and others.
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto are all moving retrograde. Those of us suffering with the plague of impatience (I include myself in this crowd) nothing is going to move at the speed you desire so just chill out as much as possible and allow things to unfold in divine timing, which may or may not align with your own timeline.
