august's full super blue moon.

this upcoming full moon takes place on wednesday, august 30th -- not only is it another super moon, but a blue moon! the second full moon in a single month is often referred to as a blue moon -- and this one will be the biggest and brightest of the year!

this full moon occurs when the sun in virgo forms an opposition to the moon in pisces. this is an emotional time -- a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. we will be dealing with the balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (pisces).

the key to balance lies in identifying and expressing our spiritual needs while maintaining order in our everyday lives. neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire -- we would either be living in chaos or in excessive order.

the moon is conjunct (aligned with) saturn around the time of this full moon, suggesting a serious, sober look at our emotions. there may be a tough decision or choice, reality check, or we may feel some pressure to make changes. watch for fear-driven moves. instead, aim to strengthen and safeguard.
