 "The astrological meaning of the full moon in Aquarius")
Full moon in August reaches its peak on August 19 at 2:26 p.m. ET and will appear full for three days this time. This is the first of four supermoons this year, with a second coming in September, followed by two more in October and November.
If you’ve been feeling an energetic shift over the past few days, it could be due to Mercury retrograde, and with the Moon in Aquarius, you can expect to experience long-overdue changes in your life. This event will bring an awakening and motivation to take a big step you’ve been considering.
The Full Moon in Aquarius offers an opportunity to welcome change and embark on a new path of self-discovery, but it’s important to be mindful of the way you communicate and avoid emotional reactions.
Why is it called a super blue moon?
A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closer to Earth, it appears larger and is up to 14% larger and 30% brighter. There are also seasonal and monthly blue moons, with seasonal blue moons occurring when there are four full moons in a season, making it the third time it occurs. A monthly blue moon is the second of two full moons in a month.

Shannon Schmoll, director of the Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, spoke to CNN about the visibility of this rare event. “It’s bright enough that you don’t have to go anywhere,” she said. “So there are three days when the full moon will be at its best,” she added.
