This lunation chart was drawn up at the exact moment of the Sun / Moon conjunction on August 01, 2019, it gives the “general” astral trends for the coming month mainly based on the Aspects and Signs of the zodiac.
This study must be nuanced by bringing it closer to your birth chart, and to your Transits and Progressions for Forecasts.
Think, to help you, to read my interpretation article of the New moon and Full moon in houses.
Nervous and anxious aspects
This new moon is very nervous, even anxious, and even if the creative and playful parts can be very present (Leo is highly valued), a lack of security and risk-taking can also dominate, the possessive parts are exacerbated, there is a need for a sense of recognition, of belonging, even if it means doing a little bit of anything to get them, and not sure with the Uranus square which is fully active, whether they are elements that are very easy to acquire and to have recognized at the moment, or in some cases by putting oneself in danger for example and “crossing the white line” as we say.
It may be more difficult to assert one’s originality, to achieve one’s freedom, independence, the autonomy to which one aspires, “the other” not giving a gift… Or perhaps one is pushed to emancipate oneself, to go outside one’s comfort zone, by a few people in our entourage, both socially and emotionally, moreover, during the current period (Venus is fully involved in this quadrature since the leo too, which can inevitably be reflected in a couple crisis), and inevitably in all cases, the teeth squeak.
Having said that, it concerns the 1st decans of the Fixed signs especially (born from 29 to 01 about, taurus, leo, scorpio, aquarius) but it is something that could have already settled in the long run with the entry of Uranus in Taurus in 2018, you felt it coming, and now it’s more concrete, it’s at least an additional step in this same process…
That said, if this current configuration has a high breaking load, this quadrature tension can also be a powerful engine to produce the starting spark, the clash needed to move things forward, to break the status quo that no longer suits us and move towards our goals…
Just ask yourself : is it worth the risk ? Is the ordeal, somehow I’am creating myself, really worth all the risks involved ?
And since Mercury has been retrograde all the previous moon, not sure that things could have come out and get out the way we wanted, but this retrograde cycle ends (really right for this new Moon), the planet will therefore regain all its natural dynamics and allow us to catch up !
We will probably have to wait for its passage in Leo and the resumption of Jupiter’s direct motion on August 12th to really find Fire energies that will be fully exploitable socially and professionally (in terms of affirmation), even if many people are still on vacation at this time, these planetary forces will be useful to somehow “place our pawns”, revise our strategy…
The full moon of August 15 2019 confirms the nervous features, the square mercury / uranus is active again which may require to go back even on a situation dating from early july, when mercury began to be stationary in this same sector before forming its retrograde loop.
Moreover, Mars is about to enter the sign of Virgo in Earth, where the planet in general requires a lot to feel socially useful, to devote itself to others, to help, to serve, to calculate, to manage. Here we come across very hard-working, laborious values, which take us a little further away from the spirit of the holidays but which will nevertheless be productive, effective, practical in all aspects of logistics, for example.
