As a Pisces, I fangirl for my Luna and believe in its effect on our cerebral and psychological side. The proximity of the Super Blue Full Moon alone makes it an especially potent time to tap into this energy and sit with the uneasiness and discomfort of our subconscious feelings.
What is a Super Blue Full Moon?
The Full Moon goes Super Blue at approximately 11:59 a.m. PST on Monday, August 19th, but will be visibly full by early Monday morning. The appearance of a Full Moon will last until Wednesday.
But what makes this particular Moon rare?
Full Moons occur when they are directly opposite and fully charged by the Sun. We have four Full Moons in one season, with the August Full Moon being the third and thus dubbed,"Blue."
Super Moon is a term used to describe the distance of its position to the earth. In this case, the Moon is closest to the earth making it appear large and bloated in our sky. You could almost touch it!
The occurrence of a Full Moon being both Blue and Super only happens every 10-20 years. (The next one won't happen again until 2037.)

Moon in Aquarius Opposite Sun in Leo
The Moon will transition in the eleventh house of Aquarius, the sign for self-expression and sociability. I like to think of Aquarius as the rebel of the zodiac, priding themselves in individuality and not limited to societal norms.
The direct opposition to the Sun in Leo adds an extra flare to individuality, self, and indulgence. This aspect encourages us to be mindful of our social and political positions and how we express ourselves to those around us. We'll likely need to share our opinions, choosing rather to take action on our beliefs and convictions. This is a sweet spot for public speakers and influential leaders.
Keep in mind, Mercury is still in retrograde for the rest of the summer, so prepare for miscommunication and frustrating encounters. Controversial fights can disrupt harmony, and delays can occur if you're caught in a battle between logic and emotion. You can still maintain your sense of self and identity, so choose your battles. Not every short fuse is worth it.
Your Astral Checklist for Super Blue Full Moon
Express yourself in a journal, on a sticky note, or on your mirror. I journal everywhere, even on my mirror. It's literally self-reflecting.
Participate in a releasing ceremony. One of my favorites is a fire releasing ceremony. Write down what no longer serves you and toss it into the flame. I like to bury the ashes under the Full Moon.
Declutter your space. Feng Shui your physical space also clears blockages in your spiritual space.
Charge your crystals. If you're crystal-bearing, let them soak up all the goodness of the moonlight.
Take action. This lunar energy is active. Balance your body by exercising and releasing pent up energy, and recharging.
Meditate. What intentions did you set during the New Moon? Return to them now, not to shame yourself with unmet expectations, but as a reminder of your journey.
Zodiac signs sensitive to the current astral positions are fixed signs: Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus.
