August's Full Super Moon in Aquarius Wants You To Be a Rebel With a Cause
Don’t be afraid to defy the norm.
August is giving us a supercharged head start as the first of the month welcomes a full moon in Aquarius.
Not only is tonight’s lunation the year’s only full moon in the air sign, it is also a super moon. Known as the Sturgeon Moon, according to The Farmer’s Almanac, la luna will appear brighter and bigger as it is closer to our dusty planet. A super full moon will only heighten our emotions and push us into the deep end of our psyche.
Although Aquarians are represented by the water beaver, they have a distinct air placement, lending to their adaptable nature and higher level of thinking. Think of Aquarians as the free-spirited activists of the zodiac — they’re never afraid to defy the status quo if it means standing up for what’s right. Their strong convictions and calculated risk-taking often makes them trendsetters, usually pointing to injustices and inequalities long before others catch on. Embody the Aquarius’ confident attitude and become a rebel for your cause.
