Spotlight on this Full Moon and its astrological impact on your zodiac sign. We promise, no need to have a telescope or to be Mrs. Irma.
Blue Moon, Super Moon, or Super Blue Moon?
A little catch-up course is needed. Because while astrology is certainly not a science, it is important to understand the natural phenomena that inspire it to see things more clearly.
- A supermoon is the nickname given to the phenomenon of perigee-syzygy. This is the moment when the Moon is Full while being closest to the Earth, on its axis. We can then see it a little larger than usual. A phenomenon not so rare, since the last one took place on September 29, 2023.
- A Blue Moon is a thirteenth Full Moon in a year that most often only has twelve. It can be the second Full Moon of a month or the fourth of a season. The one on August 19 is a seasonal Blue Moon, a bit less rare than its monthly version. Which took place on August 31… also at the same time as a supermoon!
Super Blue Moon of August 19: Its Astrological Effects
A supermoon coupled with a blue moon is, for astrologers, a rare Pokémon. And in astrology, the rarer a phenomenon is, the greater its symbolism. The moon and its rapid changes (compared to other stars) are closely followed by astrologers, and its full light phase, the Full Moon, is even more so. It represents a bubbling inner energy, emotions pushed to the maximum, and a great power of creation.
Super Moons would then be all the more powerful. They would have the knack of instilling in us radical life changes, or the desire to project ourselves into the future. The Blue Moon adds an extra touch: originality, the impromptu. Changes, eccentricity, a look towards the future, a touch of the unexpected? No doubt, this lunation is 100% Aquarius. Enough to inspire this astrological sign to open up even more, on this August 19th… But also its little friends.
Horoscope: How does the super blue moon impact your astrological sign?
- Aquarius, Gemini, Aries: let’s go for it. For these three, this Moon is a burst of motivation. Why them? The Moon will be in the constellation of Aquarius, and it will form the most beneficial angles with Mars (the star of Aries) in Gemini. With these signs of Air and Fire, the theme that emerges from this supermoon is action, and impulse. Going to the front of things, causing change, moving the pawns all by yourself, without waiting for authorization. And for this last part, we trust these troublemakers of the sky.
- Libra, Sagittarius: we innovate. Transits in Aquarius always tend to be more sympathetic with its acolytes, the signs of Air and Fire. This super Blue Moon doubles the bet, by encouraging Libra and Sagittarius to get out of their current routines. You don’t even have to change everything: doing things in a different order or a new place can be enough to make them see things in a new light. Just so you don’t remain too sure of yourself (right, Sagittarius?) or excessively conventional (hello Libra).
- Pisces, Cancer: we surround ourselves. These tender Water signs tend to take refuge in their cocoon when the atmosphere destabilizes them. However, the symbolism of Aquarius is precisely to never be too set in your ideas and to go towards others. The time has come to enrich your friendships and to participate in the life of your neighborhood. Strengthen their sense of community, and their bonds with their loved ones, but also create new ones: this is what the Moon in Aquarius suggests to the Water signs. And no, we are not talking (only) about petting new cats in the street.
- Virgo, Capricorn: we experiment. The least we can say about these two cautious Earth signs is that they don’t like to take risks. Well, that’s what they think. Because the idea of Aquarius is precisely to rebel, to get naughty, and not stick to labels. Especially those that we attach to ourselves. Virgo and Capricorn could feel the urge to explore unknown paths, whether in love, at work, or in private. In their kitchen, for example. That intriguing jar of anise mustard is not going to open by itself.
- Leo, Taurus, Scorpio: we are freeing ourselves. It is for the three other fixed signs (with Aquarius) that this Full Moon could have the effect of a thunderclap. For these signs as persevering as they are stubborn, it will be a question of freeing themselves from a useless constraint, from a situation that has lasted too long, or from a deleterious state of mind. For that, they can count on their great creativity. It is the moment to indulge in a creative leisure activity that is still unexplored or to indulge in their favorite activity: but without following the rules. Yes, we know, Aquarius, it looks like a Monday like any other to you.
