The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 11, 2022, is conjunct Saturn and square Uranus. So the Full Moon August 2022 meaning is adapting to restrictive changes and unexpected restrictions.

The Full Moon August 2022 astrology may bring sudden changes, erratic emotions, delays, worry and sadness. However, Saturn is in exact alignment with a fortunate star. It means that adversity can be overcome and turned into success. But only with patience, emotional maturity and a conservative approach.

Full Moon August 2022 Astrology

The August 11 Full Moon at 19°21′ Aquarius is conjunct Saturn and square Uranus. The last exact Saturn Uranus square was in December 2021, and the aspect orb now is over three degrees. But because of retrograde motion, this major planetary aspect is applying (getting stronger). It reaches an orb of 0°37′ in early October 2022. Saturn square Uranus is the last major aspect until Saturn sextile Uranus in 2025.

No major fixed star conjunct this full moon, and none conjunct Uranus. But Saturn is exactly aligned with a fortunate star that will strongly influence the Full Moon August 2022 astrology.

Full Moon in Aquarius 2022

Full Moon Meaning

Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces such as work versus home, or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts peak at a full moon. So use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an impartial and balanced look at your relationships. You will see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Full Moon in Aquarius 2022 Aspects

Full Moon conjunct Saturn adds seriousness to your emotions and can lead to distance in your intimate relationships. You may have to deal with some challenging situations and negative attitudes which will feel worse than they are.

These hindrances and restrictions will apply mainly to your home and family life. Some drama involving your home, parents, children, or partner will be very trying on your emotions and can lead to feelings of rejection and depression.

Self-discipline and emotional maturity are called for, and feelings of guilt about past behaviors must be overcome. Exposing emotional vulnerabilities and opening up to loved ones will enable the nurturing and bonding required to overcome the problem.

Full Moon square Uranus can cause rapid mood swings, impulsive reactions and emotional outbursts in response to sudden, unexpected changes. You may feel jumpy, impatient, and easily distracted. This can cause problems with anything requiring commitment or focus. And you are likely to rebel against anyone who tries to tie you down or force you to do something.

Your instincts and reflexes may be rapid but not accurate. This is not a good time for making sudden changes, especially in close relationships. New encounters may meet your need for a thrill but would cause a great deal of upset in your life and hurt loved ones.

Saturn Square Uranus, Again

Saturn square Uranus brings restrictive change and unexpected restrictions. It can bring change that you don’t want. It also makes it harder to make the changes you want. Rising tension and sudden, expected changes can be very frustrating.

But if you stay open-minded, patient and flexible, what at first seem like challenges, can be turned into opportunities to rid yourself of negative, restrictive, and limiting things. This is not the time to resist change, nor is it the time to overreact. A well-considered, methodical, patient, and step-by-step approach is best.

The Constellations

Full Moon August 2022 is in the Sign of Aquarius. But as the star map below shows, it is actually in the Constellation of Capricorn. This discrepancy is due to the precession of the equinoxes. It has moved the Sun Signs almost a whole Sign out of alignment with the Constellations from which they were named over 2000 years ago. The Signs were originally invented only as a measuring device. Astrologers had always used the visible constellation and their stars for astrological interpretation.

Full Moon August 2022 Astrology [Stellarium]

No major fixed stars are aligned with the August 11 Full Moon, but it is located in the Tail of the Sea Goat. According to Ptolemy, the stars in the tail are like Saturn and Jupiter (dignified, pious, conservative, acquisitive, retentive). ^[1]

Saturn is also in the tail, exactly conjunct fixed star Nashira at 22°06′ Aquarius. The name Nashira comes from the Arabic سعد ناشرة (sa’d nashirah), which means “the lucky one” or “bearer of good news.”

Nashira causes overcoming by evil, which is turned into success. ^[1] It is an indicator of social popularity and political success. ^[2]

Nashira has a Saturn influence made good by added Jupiter influence. It will bring a life full of change, make a native become a legal adviser or counselor, and gives such a person the ability to hold a position of trust. This fixed star makes for integrity and justice and gives knowledge of man. ^[3]

Full Moon August 2022 Summary

The Full Moon in Aquarius 2022 conjunct Saturn and square Uranus brings restrictive change and unexpected restrictions. This takes us back to late December 2021 and early January 2022 during the last Saturn Uranus square.

Back then, the COVID pandemic, natural disasters and political instability were causing hardship, anxiety, and grief. Expect more of the same as Saturn square Uranus slowly increases in strength, reaching a minimum orb of 0°37′ in early October 2022.

But the strongest influence on the Full Moon August 2022 astrology is the square to Uranus, with an orb on only half a degree. This means rapid mood swings, impulsive reactions and emotional outbursts in response to sudden, unexpected changes.

The Full Moon conjunct Saturn can cause restrictions, delays, worry and sadness. But the Moon and Saturn are in a fortunate part of the sky, in the Tail of the Sea-Goat. So with patience, emotional maturity and a conservative approach, adversity can be overcome and turned into success.

Astrologically, the preceding new moon influences the Full Moon. The July 28 New Moon brought unexpected news and sudden change. It made people nervous, erratic and impulsive. But if you remain open-minded and flexible, you can take advantage of opportunities for growth and prosperity.

The influence of the August 11 Full Moon lasts for two weeks up to the August 27 New Moon. This waning moon phase is good for releasing and letting go, resting, healing, regenerating, contemplating, meditating, decluttering, harvesting, pruning, and hair cutting.
