The first of two full moons this month (yes, two full moons) kicks off an intense month of cosmic shifts.
The full Sturgeon moon in rebellious Aquarius rocks the boat on August 1 — and the air sign is all about embracing our eccentricities and having the courage to stand up for causes we believe in. However, for the zodiac signs most affected by the full moon on August 1, there is added pressure to break a few rules as they learn how to better show up for themselves.
Full moons, according to astrology, heighten our emotions and shine a light on our deep desires. Because Aquarius has a well-deserved reputation for being emotionally detached, it’s not the most comfortable sign for the moon to be in. Those who are most affected by this full moon may have difficulty surrendering to vulnerability or expressing their emotions effectively.
Furthermore, the shift in independent Aquarius can feel isolating. Because Aquarius seeks to understand those on the periphery of society, this full moon can make us feel like an outsider or teach us how to root for the underdog. This lunation calls for liberation, and a select few will have to learn to break free from traditions and relationships that no longer serve them.
Continue reading to see if you’re one of the zodiac signs most affected by the full moon on August 1 so you can fully embrace Aquarius’ rebellious heart.
Taurus (April 19 – May 21)
Taurus, this is a very disruptive month for you, and the full moon is acting as a catalyst for some of the changes that have been brewing in your life for quite some time. This full moon, which falls in your 10th house of career and public image, reveals important themes about the structures and rules you’ve been following in your professional life, asking you to challenge them by honoring your personal need for innovation and change. You tend to move slowly as the fixed earth sign of the zodiac (and you despise being rushed into things), but you’ve been itching for something new in your life, and your career is likely the one thing that’s been holding you back.
Leo (July 22 – August 22)
It may be your season, Leo, but the vibes are changing dramatically as the full moon in your seventh house of relationships occurs on August 1. It’s been a season of independence for you, but now is the time to consider how the structures and limitations in your relationships with others may be undermining your career’s innovative pursuits. The rules you’ve been following regarding your connections are no longer serving you in the same way, and while they may be familiar, they are no longer assisting in your growth. Make the most of your Leo energy. You know what you want; don’t let others keep you from doing what is ultimately best for you.
Scorpio (October 21 – November 22)
The full moon in Aquarius on August 1 will bring the need for innovation and breaking rules to your fourth house of home and family. This full moon is asking you to reconsider the rules you’ve established in your home. Are they useful to you, or are they old and out of date? Some rules are meant to be broken, Scorpio, and now is the time to think about how you’re allowing for change in these areas of your life.
Aquarius (January 19 – February 21)
This full moon will have the greatest impact on you, Aquarius, because it is in your first house of self. Beginning August 1, the full moon will highlight themes related to your personal boundaries and rules, prompting you to consider how you’ve been allowing yourself the freedom to express yourself without limits and restrictions.
