Between the Perseids, the visible planets in the sky, and the upcoming Full Moon, the sky in August will offer us several opportunities to marvel! Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast or not, look up! You will be able to admire these phenomena with the naked eye during the beautiful summer evenings. Among them, the full moon on August 19, 2024, promises intense emotions for certain zodiac signs.
When will the full moon occur in August 2024?
From Earth, the Moon is the brightest object in the night sky. Just look up when the sky is clear to follow its various phases throughout the month.
This month, the New Moon occurred on Sunday, August 4, 2024. This is the phase when our natural satellite is not visible in the sky because the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, and the side we usually see is not illuminated.
Until next Sunday, the Moon will continue to grow, and on Monday, August 12, 2024, you will be able to admire its first quarter. You will then see half of its visible side illuminated by sunlight.
The next Full Moon will occur a week later, on Monday, August 19, 2024. The entire visible side of our satellite will then be illuminated by the Sun as the Moon will be in opposition.
What will be the influence of the August full moon in astrology?
The Full Moon is a phenomenon studied in astronomy but also in astrology. To establish the horoscope, astrologers are interested in the position of the moon in the zodiac.
At the time of the next full moon, our natural satellite will be in the sign of Aquarius. This Air sign, known for its independence and originality, will have a notable influence on the entire zodiac during this period.
This influence could manifest as strong emotions and unexpected events for those born under certain astrological signs.
Which zodiac signs will be impacted by the full moon?
In addition to offering a celestial spectacle not to be missed, the full moon on August 19th in the sign of Aquarius will represent a moment of introspection, change, and innovation for several zodiac signs.
Aquarians experience their emotions intensely and are known for their frankness and enthusiasm. The influence of this sign during the full moon could disrupt the peaceful routine of other astrological signs...
The zodiac signs most affected by the full moon in August will be Aquarius, of course, but also Aries, Taurus, Leo, and Capricorn.
• Aries natives will have to face unexpected events and last-minute changes of plans. However, thanks to their legendary perseverance, this should not prevent them from moving forward.
• Taurus natives will need to set boundaries against attempts at manipulation or, at the very least, persuasion. Tauruses are often said to be stubborn, and for once, their ability to resist will be an asset to avoid being led where they do not want to go.
• Until the end of August, Leo natives will be under the influence of Mercury in retrograde in their sign. This could prompt them to raise their voices at the slightest disagreement. Leo natives, don't get carried away and watch your words! You might hurt those around you.
• For Capricorns, the influence of the Moon in Aquarius will translate into a surge of creativity. Of all the zodiac signs, Aquarius is the most innovative. Its influence could also enhance the adventurous side of Capricorn natives.
• Finally, for Aquarius natives, the upcoming full moon could favor significant changes. You will be motivated by the desire to take control of your life in the professional and/or personal domain.
It is said that the Full Moon illuminates certain hidden aspects of our personality and brings buried emotions to the surface. This phase of the moon brings clarity, both literally and figuratively. It also provides the energy to accept change and move forward.
So, whether you are an Aquarius or a native of another sign, let the light of the moon guide you down new paths! You can harness this energy and insight to:
• reflect on what you truly want.
• make more informed decisions.
• free yourself from the past and embark on new projects.
