What does a full moon in Aquarius imply?
The focus of the August full moon is friendship because it falls in Aquarius, the sign connected with the 11th House of Friendship. Because full moons are unpredictable, minor quarrel among your friends may occur on a poor day. You can, however, rise above it by taking advantage of the full moon to relax with your friends and indulge in your favorite guilty pleasures.
In Aquarius 2021, will there be two full moons?
The Aquarius full moon on August 22 is the second of 2021, and the second of a rare back-to-back pair in the sign of the Water Bearer, which began on July 23.
We’ve been getting eye-opening messages regarding anything from community collaborations to the ways we hold ourselves back from expressing our individuality since the first Aquarius full moon. How can we maintain our individual liberty while yet contributing to society? Aquarius is fully aware of the unique equilibrium point between “me” and “us.” Have your cake and eat it, but don’t forget to feed the hungry!
Aries
The powerful second full moon in Aquarius in 2021, which will fall in your eleventh house of friends, may cause some upheaval in your social circle. That’s fine, though: your sign thrives on change. If you’re willing to explore new areas, you might just run into the kind of gang you’ve been looking for. With this full moon energizing your tech area, you may strike gold with an internet venture.
Taurus
With the full moon in Aquarius and your tenth house of success, you may finally be able to realize your dream job or negotiate better terms at your existing work. If you’ve been vying for a leadership position, you could be propelled to the top of the corporate ladder so quickly that you feel dizzy. In fact, try a little intentional humblebragging, which the modest Bull rarely does. Shoptalk isn’t confined to the workplace. Some chance mingling could be beneficial to your job.
Gemini
The second full moon in Aquarius is igniting your worldwide adventure house in your ninth house. If you can’t get away right now, take a workshop or consider starting an entrepreneurial enterprise to broaden your horizons. But keep in mind that you might have great dreams under this full moon, but you won’t be able to carry them out…yet! There is a way where there is a will.
Cancer
With the second full moon in Aquarius this year, la luna revs up your eighth house of energy and transformation for the second time since July 23. You could have sensed that something in your life needed to alter. Reduce it to a black-or-white choice, and whichever you choose, stick to it! The enticing charm of the eighth house has the potential to bring a simmering attraction to a head. Close the draperies and close the doors. There is a Do Not Disturb order in effect.
Leo
Your partnership zone is being activated by the second of a rare, consecutive pair of Aquarius full moons. Leo, you’ve caught me off guard! When you’re near to the object of your affections, you might not be able to control what comes out of your mouth. Alternatively, someone you like may express an interest in you in return. On the other hand, you can notice that a vital relationship is lacking something important. This full moon could be your cue to exit stage left if you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity.
Virgo
The full moon in Aquarius on Sunday is the second in a row to fall in your sixth house of health. Have you been looking for a reason to step up your self-care game? Put on your trailrunners or schedule a few private sessions with a personal trainer or yoga instructor who can help you work up a sweat, improve your form, and create a customized dietary plan. Over the following few weeks, you may also notice significant changes at work. If a golden chance presents itself, be ready to seize it.
Libra
Even low-key Libras should make an appearance on Sunday, as the second of a pair of full moons in Aquarius in 2021 occurs on that day. Because this planet activates your fifth house of glamour, desire, and renown, even a quick visit to a friend’s party could result in a fated chance to trade numbers with someone promising. Attached? Don’t be afraid to share some of your more outlandish dreams with your spouse without fear of being judged. Because the fifth house governs fertility, some Libras may have a pregnancy (planned or unplanned) or a burst of creative energy.
Scorpio
The full moon in Aquarius on Sunday shines brightly on your home fourth house. You may have been preoccupied with your living condition since the first lunar lift on July 23. If you’ve been considering transferring, the ideal home could appear in the next two weeks (hello, backyard hot tub!). You might get a new roommate, bedmate, or even a four-legged buddy if you’re pleased in the current Scorpio Chateau.
Sagittarius
The second of a pair of Aquarius full moons will be visible in your common third house on Sunday, which can help you decipher someone’s enigmatic behavior. You can’t afford to ignore any negative indications you’ve been picking up on, even if you prefer to focus on the positive. Your zodiac sign is eternally optimistic, but wait and see what the following two weeks have in store for you. What are the chances? It’s possible that it’ll be BETTER than you imagine.
Capricorn
Bring it on, the rainstorms! The second of a rare pair of Aquarius full moons energizes your financial second home. Over the next two weeks, a fantastic opportunity may present itself. This shouldn’t come as a complete surprise, as you’ve been working on manifesting this for the past month. This full moon may you the bravery you need to ask for a raise or raise your charges. Don’t underestimate the value of good budgeting!
Aquarius
On Sunday, a gleaming full moon in your signthe second in a rare, consecutive pair that began on July 23pulls you out from behind the curtains and shines a klieg light on your gifts. If you’ve been hesitant to show the world what you’re made of, here is your chance to shine. Marketing is what you call shameless self-promotion, and people pay high money for it. Allow yourself to brag about the hard work you’ve put in over the last month. You’ll also serve as a role model for others who aspire to the same lofty ambitions.
Pisces
The second full moon in Aquarius of 2021, on Sunday, is in your healing twelfth home.

Are you in need of some healing and closure? This cosmic jolt allows you to see beyond corners that have (apparently) closed in your face, and to recognize “failure” as a chance to pivot. Do you require a miracle? Stop fighting the natural order of things and succumb to it. Pisces, you are PERFECTLY prepared for this adjustment!
What effect does the full moon in Aquarius have on Aquarius?
If you’re an Aquarius (born between January 20 and February 18), you’ll be busy with work, errands, and social plans, according to Bustle. During this time, though, people must prioritize their mental health. Around the time of the full moon on January 17, it may appear that everyone you know is coming to you for assistance, according to Allure. However, don’t forget to look for yourself. Aquarius won’t have to worry about the emotional turbulence that the full moon in Cancer may bring to some signs.
What are the characteristics of Aquarius moons?
Oddballs and anarchists are attracted to the Moon in Aquarius. They’re designed to keep an eye on, question, and disrupt. They are naturally quiet and noticeably different, and they frequently feel like outsiders, a lonely position that allows them to observe. They see everything and are enthralled by the scenery.
Lunar Aquarians are intellectuals who strive to eliminate detrimental or restrictive societal systems at their highest level. These folks value liberty and desire to assist others in achieving it. Take, for example, lunar Aquarius and Prince, the purple magnificence. The fear of being dependant or having others rely on them is the shadow side of this. As a result, for those with the moon in Aquarius, security can feel like a lack of attachment.
They give their partners a lot of independence in love relationships and want the same in return. When it comes to friends, they cast a strangely wide net, always willing to accept the quirkiness of others without judgment.
This lunar placement’s mother figure was a mixture of unstable flakiness and advanced thinking. She probably did better with teenagers she could converse to than with the children she was in charge of. The parent as pal dynamic is in charge of this moon placement.
Lunar Aquarians, like all air moons, are emotionally disconnected. These people, on the other hand, go a step farther, ignoring the uglier base impulses of envy, hatred, fear, and greed, wrongly assuming that they are above them. When repression fails, the consequences are harsh and unforeseen; think of abandoning someone at the altar, fleeing to a neighboring country, establishing a new name, and so on.
Why are there two full moons in Aquarius in 2021?
Would it be an exaggeration to suggest that this summer hasn’t gone quite as planned? What did that entail for you? The doomsday weather, new variations, or the never-ending vaccine debate? If you feel like your life has come to a halt, as if you keep getting everything together just to lose the point, you’re not alone. A double full moon in Aquarius on August 22 the second in a row, and a blue moon at that demands a halt, and a time to really think on how the world has evolved (or hasn’t changed fast enough) in 2021.
The first full moon in Aquarius, in late July 2021, brought a reckoning between individual entitlement and world change. The Aquarius full moon qualifies as a blue moon in August 2021, which is essentially a cosmic freebie, an additional full moon for a season. And we might use the assistance: The summer has seemingly melted down around us in the month since the last full moon, amid the threat of Delta and Lambda variations, the terrible effects of failed foreign policy in Afghanistan, a devastating earthquake in Haiti, and an avoidable blast in Lebanon. Isn’t Aquarius the sign of transformation? Wasn’t this meant to be the start of something new and exciting?
The full moon in July triggered a confrontation between the sun, which was in the early degrees of Leo, and the moon, which was in the early degrees of Aquarius. The opposing signs should ideally function as two sides of a coin: Aquarius initiates the revolution, while Leo leads it; Aquarius represents the movement, while Leo represents the face. Despite this, when the two stubborn, fixed signals are separated, they revert to their worst characteristics. Aquarius, the intellectual contrarian, clings to its ideals, lacking empathy for the real-world conditions that make life so complicated and compromise-filled. Meanwhile, Leo, who sees the world as a mirror, misses the overall picture. When you add in a culture of individualism and class animosity, you have the makings of a warzone or a pandemic re-escalation.
Perhaps the full moon in Aquarius in July came to remind us of how little we’ve learned, that even while one period of quarantine was apparently finished, the change it demanded was far from complete. We embrace our heavenly manifestation throughout Leo season, becoming the protagonists of our own narrative. On the other hand, Aquarius is always looking out for the entire human race, and with the great planets Jupiter and Saturn transiting the water bearer’s sphere in 2021, there will be no halt in world advancement.
The August 2021 blue moon completes and culminates these lessons, this time in the final degrees of Aquarius and Leo. The sun enters Virgo season on the same day as its encounter with the moon, signaling a move from Leo’s lived wisdom to a more direct method of action and choice. If the last full moon in Aquarius reminded us of our insignificance in the face of global turmoil, this one restores our power. Aquarius’ pressure makes this world feel like a Sims game gone wrong, further separating us from sensation and enthusiasm. With so much ambivalence and disappointment, why bother reentering the matrix? Why not slip into a pair of sweatpants from the year 2020 and fade away?
Because, for at least one more day, it’s still Leo season, damnit. It’s the king of the zodiac we’re talking about here, and you should treat him as such. The greatest Leos declare and affirm their inherent regality, dignifying people around them, no matter how brutal their surroundings are. Leos inspire others by claiming their right to grace and grandeur. Meanwhile, the moon in Aquarius approaches Jupiter, the planet of light and understanding, causing every modest action to vibrate with possibility (Princess Diana, no stranger to subtle deeds of reverberative progress, had Jupiter and her moon in Aquarius). If we can hold on long enough, change will come, with HIV vaccinations being tested, Britney Spears being released from prison, lab-grown meats offering some hope for ethics and sustainability, and $3.5 trillion in infrastructure and daycare revival on the Senate floor. There’s no way of knowing where all of this will lead, whether we’ll wind up in an unending quarantine, or something worse, or something better.
On The Good Fight, Christine Baranski says, “I understood it’s okay that the world is crazy as long as I make my little part of the globe sane.” This moon ushers us into Virgo, the sign of service, where Mars channels our zeal and desire into a worthy cause, and Venus, from her throne in Libra, stresses empathy and relationality above all else. This full blue moon isn’t some sweet invitation to “reach across the aisles” and find common ground with your wacky, bigoted relatives. Rather, it is a call to infuse your own life with dignity and as much kindness as you are capable of.
Every one of us is a citizen of humanity in the Aquarian vision, an independent agency working as part of the collective. The full blue moon in Leo, at this final turning point, encourages you to be here, downloaded back into the matrix, and address the ways you might want to flee. The titular vampire slayer, Buffy Summers, once claimed that the most difficult thing in the world is to live in it. You must assert your place here in this body, in this strange moment in time in the final hours of Leo season, strap in for the long haul, and wait for further orders.
In 2021, how many full moons will be in Aquarius?
Do you want to read something out of the ordinary? This year, there will be not one, but two Full Moons in Aquarius. What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The first of these two Full Moons will occur on July 23 at 10:37 p.m. ET, and the second will occur on August 22 at 8:02 a.m. ET.
Let’s speak about numbers for a second. A 360-degree circle is formed by all 12 zodiac signs, which means that each zodiac sign has 30 degrees. The first Full Moon is at 1 degree, while the second is at 29 degrees, making the second Full Moon crucial.
What is Aquarius’ mood?
Aquarians are contradictory. We are progressive thinkers who are tenacious, stubborn, and unyielding in our convictions. We enjoy mingling and are gregarious and sociable while sometimes being reserved. Both scientific and aesthetic elements are included. Nonconformist and popular in equal measure. Hard workers who procrastinate. It’s both hot and strange. Embarrassing and reserved. All of these things can exist at the same time; you don’t have to find out who is who! People enjoy putting each other in boxes, and most skeptics would say that astrology is nothing more than that. I’m afraid I’ll have to disagree! Astrology embraces variety rather than segregation. Astrology teaches us that humans are made up of many different aspects, and that a lot can be true at the same time. Aquarians are unfazed by life’s many inconsistencies. In fact, one of their favorite pastimes is to sit back and watch the chaos occur without passing judgment. They’re also constantly challenging people and themselves, avoiding being boxed in at every point. Don’t get stressed the next time life contradicts itself; instead, sit back and relax. Maybe even set a goal for yourself to step outside of your comfort zone once in a while; you might be surprised.
