Hello Good Humans!
The Full Moon, Partial Lunar Eclipse occurs at 4°54’ Pisces on Friday, August 28, 2026 at 12:18am in New York, USA. It is the Sturgeon Moon. The aspects are an opposition to Mercury and a square to Uranus, triggering rapid communication and rebellion but also release. Flexibility and open mind are required.
A Full Moon happens when the Moon is 180° away from the Sun, exactly opposite. It is the time to present completed projects to the public and receive feedback. During the full Moon cycle we have to balance home and family with career, what we want with what we have internally and externally. So, let’s use our intuitive instincts to inspire action in our projects, plans and dreams. A Lunar Eclipse will intensify this Full Moon as the Earth’s shadow will partially cover the Moon. Lunar Eclipse energy lasts for six months. Also happening is a square with Mars and Saturn bringing out ego vs authority scenarios.
Rebel with a Cause
A Full Moon highlights emotional states and a Lunar Eclipse accentuates that. Understanding your feelings and the safety to express them are vital. Nurturing with healthy food, exercise and restorative sleep are the basics. Sharing cares and concerns with others, be they family, friends or community is another way to understand our humanity. This Full Moon requires safe space to do that. Uranus, the planet of upset, change, rebellion, release and liberation, is in a challenging square to the Sun, Moon and Mercury. The Sun: identity, the Moon: Emotions and Mercury: communication, are squaring off. They need balance but that will take an effort. Your personal identity and outer identity needs to be checked in on. Are they currently repressed or oppressed? How do you feel about that? How can you communicate that? Now is the time to redefine yourself and your process. Release from restrictions that have fenced you in may require you to rebel, dismantle and reform them in order to feel release and freedom. This will definitely be played out in the political arena in with protests against oppressors. Uranus energy can be unpredictable and even shocking as to what it reveals. These shockwaves motivate change, release and liberation when approached with an open mind and flexibility. What is outmoded or obstructive but still power will face upset and reform and new laws to support it. Technology and the question of how it is used or abused, its value and function will be a strong part of this theme. Technology breakdowns and data safety both worldly and personally may add to the unpredictability of this time. Make sure you back up important files and make sure your tech devices are secure and functioning.
Mars square Saturn will bring out challenges to authority and defense. Anger and frustration in feeling blocked or policed will add fuel to the already volatile Lunar Eclipse energy. Keep yourself safe. People and places known for their danger should be avoided.
All in all, these aspects, when worked with properly, can lead to hard work and determination to create a liberating paradigm of release and reform. Take the time to allow for the understanding of feelings and research the facts involved, make plans for necessary change and be flexible with their execution. Successful collaborations can occur.
