The Full Moon in Aquarius has the relationship advice you need – your star sign’s tarot horoscope forecast
Are you ready for some potentially harsh truths? (Picture: Shutterstock)

The next Full Moon is on August 19, in the sun sign of Leo and therefore its opposing sign of Aquarius. It is also a super moon which makes its effects even more powerful.

Full Moons always bring a ‘pause’ in the month to reflect, ponder, contemplate, review, and release. More thought than action.

This Full Moon’s Aquarius vibe brings that sign’s traits into play: humanitarianism, activism, honesty, purity, progressive and innovative thinking. Aquarians care about others but have the independence and clarity to recognise their own nature too and what they bring to their family, loved ones, and colleagues.

Be like Aquarius. Be progressive and positive. You can re-negotiate relationships that are failing, you can change the dynamic… from your own standpoint, by changing your own behaviour or approach.

Let the tarot guide you towards the relationship advice and action you need to take this Full Moon…

Aries

Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Judgment

Meaning: If you’re struggling with a Scorpio person, or someone who has overbearing or controlling tendencies, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon. Judgment links to Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, transformation. And Judgment is about being who you are, no shapeshifting or people pleasing or trying to fit in.

This person won’t let you be you. Perhaps they preferred an old version they can control, perhaps they’re stuck in the past. Don’t let this affect you. Resolve to be even more you in their presence, and if they can’t handle it… withdraw for a while.

Taurus

Tarot card for Taurus for the Full Moon in Aquarius: The Moon

Meaning: If you’re struggling with a Cancer person, or someone who keeps secrets, spins webs, and maybe tells lies, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon. The Moon is about secrets and lies. It is very very hard to build trust with someone who is secretive, puts up guards all the time, or who you have caught lying in the past.

Consider if you can continue here or you need a break? Maybe have a direct conversation with them this Full Moon, ask the questions you need to ask, see where you stand. Don’t be afraid to press ‘pause’ if you suspect lies are afoot.

Gemini

Tarot card for Gemini for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Five of Coins

Meaning: If you’re struggling with an Earth sign person (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), or someone who has gotten stuck on a loss or setback and can’t let it go, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon.

You struggle with people who linger in the past, hold onto things, and remain fixated on any one spot, it’s not in your nature to do so and you don’t ‘get’ it. Compassion runs thin at this point. Perhaps you’re not the right companion for this person right now, or perhaps this is a chance to practice true understanding outside of your own comfort zone and learn? Decide and act accordingly.

Cancer

Tarot card for Cancer for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Knight of Coins

Meaning: If you’re struggling with an Earth sign person (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), or someone who is being super defensive with you, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon. You’re a natural empath and you always sense the vibes when something is ‘off’ and something definitely is off.

Why? What happened? What role have you played? Is this a time to talk or to let things breathe a little? Don’t crowd this person if they’re defensive, you won’t make headway. Step back but let them know you’re here, always, to talk when they’re feeling like it.

Leo

Tarot card for Leo for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Eight of Coins

Meaning: If you’re struggling with an Earth sign person (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), or someone who seems really over-burdened right now, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon.

You have bags of vitality and positive energy, you’re ruled by the Sun so it’s like it’s on tap. Give this person some of your va va voom. Gee them up, encourage them, help them, boost their confidence, push them to keep on going. They are close to a breakthrough and just need some reassurance and cheerleading to get them over the line, this is a job for you, Leo!

Tarot card for Virgo for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Nine of Wands

Meaning: If you’re struggling with a Fire sign (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) person, or someone who is faltering in the face of an obvious issue they need to address, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon.

How can you help them without being overbearing or bossy or pressurising? You always know best, I know, and you can handle almost anything but you have to tread carefully when helping others. The Nine of Wands shows they’ve got this, they can handle this. Maybe help get them started, get them going, share the first steps… and then step back. Let them do it.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot card for Libra for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Ace of Swords

Meaning: If you’re struggling with an Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) person, or someone who has been itching to have an argument with you, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon. The Ace of Swords shows that there’s no avoiding this tense discussion, it’s got to be had.

Clear the air. Let them say their full piece, seek to understand their perspective 100%. Then take time absorb it, roll it around, decide on your measured response. Then reconvene. You can get through this, stronger and wiser. Don’t back off from it.

Scorpio

Tarot card for Scorpio for the Full Moon in Aquarius: The Magician

Meaning: If you’re struggling with a Gemini or Virgo person, or someone who is incredibly creative and inventive (maybe a little overconfident in themselves), then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon. You are a controlling character, you can’t stand show offs. Is this about them or you?

Do you really need to ‘dampen’ their spirits or can you adjust to their high energy mood? Can you limit interactions or tailor them to suit you both better? Consider a ‘round the houses’ approach before telling them to calm down! They have a lot to offer, they’re just more bouncy and flouncy than you!

Tarot card for Sagittarius for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Knight of Swords

Meaning: If you’re struggling with an Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) person, or someone who has been challenging you and maybe trying to push up on your territory, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon.  How can you best handle this outside of an actual fist fight? What’s the long game here?

Imagine it’s 5 years on… what really matters? Does this actually matter at all? If so, what part and why? Focus on that bit and what practical steps you can take to protect or keep what you’re feeling defensive about. Maybe it’s a sign that it’s time to move on from a role/situation. Think before you act. No blow ups, okay?

Tarot card for Capricorn for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Seven of Wands

Meaning: If you’re struggling with a Fire sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) person, or someone who has been acting like a rival, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon. What prize are you both competing for? Or is it all one-sided on their part? Are they jealous? If so, it’s a compliment and there’s not perhaps much you can do about it.

Figure out if you are actually competing or they’re just trying to mimic or praise you. Figure it out from that decision point. Don’t waste energy on a game you don’t need to play. Don’t make an enemy. Maybe just temper your time together and withdraw for now.

Tarot card for Aquarius for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Queen of Coins

Meaning: If you’re struggling with an Earth sign (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn) person, or an older woman whom you love or feel great respect for, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon. Perhaps this is a power dynamic shift, a time when you’re taking more control and this woman has to accept you making choices she doesn’t agree with.

Talk about it. Talk about how you feel and what’s triggering the tension. There is a lot of love here and you can overcome this episode. Honesty and patience and compassion are required. Summon them!

Tarot card for Pisces for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Ten of Coins

Meaning: If you’re struggling with an Earth sign (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn) person, or a person you’ve known forever and have always felt will be with you forever more, then zoom in on this relationship this Full Moon.

Long-term relationships have cycles. We all change. Dynamics shift. Long-term bonds have many ‘little deaths’ when an old chapter or dynamic ends and a new one emerges. It’s likely this is happening now. It’s not ‘the end’, it’s simply another shift. Give each other space but also send love and praise. Arrange a date in a few weeks to celebrate something. Don’t let this go.
