Lightning may be a troublemaker. It can start a fire, aim your home with an electric current to make your appliances hiss – of course, it may kill you. Lightning is not always desirable – but it is always exciting! No wonder astrologers associate lightning with Aquarius, a sign of this full moon. Aquarius It is an astrological change agent, very similar to lightning. A fixed sign that remains static for a long time, as reliable and unchanging as a calm summer sky. But even if it stays still, the Aquarius plugs into the charger like a phone. When it accumulates too much, it needs to get rid of some – and there are speculations about where it will land.
and In Aquarius, the full moon shines with a blazing flickering (August 9, 2025, 12:55 am, at 16º59 Aquarius),,,,, The sun is in Leo – Signs of dominating the heart in medicine and metaphorically sending life-giving blood, love and creative passion into the human body. It is a sign of artist, writer, performer whose expressive abilities are creative and require a strong platform for routine, loneliness and healthy self-shaping. But physically speaking, without a circulatory system (ruled by Aquarius), the heart will not be able to continue drawing blood, thus spreading the blood throughout the body and restoring it to the heart. Metaphorically, our creative inspiration and love reserves are quickly exhausted without the “audience” to spread our creations and return love and inspiration to us.
Where did you find inspiration? On the surface, this seems to be just a question for the artist. We wondered what creativity might be possible with getting kids ready to go to school or finish their monthly work? But is creativity limited to weekend watercolor workshops and writing workshops? Do we have to be Frida Kahlo to be considered an artist?
Of course, we are not all Sun Sugn sign Leos, just as none of us agree as artists. But we all have the sun somewhere in the chart, we all have Leo and their creativity urging to hide in the houses of the signs. Somewhere inside you is the sacred flame of creativity This bursts when you’re excited about a project – whether you’re building a home website, choosing a new color scheme for your restaurant, or creating a custom bookshelves at a workshop. Sometimes creativity rises slowly, like a spark of error in a dormant, smoldering campfire. Other times, it is lightning that awakens the creative flame. Sometimes – usually – when your life becomes too predictable and isolated – it is simply impossible to call together any inspiration.
Aquarius represents fresh and unexpected elements that, like lightning, make life exciting – spread your creativity and give the life of inspiration to the blood directly return it to your heart. It can be daunting to share your work with an unpredictable, often faceless “audience”. What if you are rejected? However, the Leo/Aquarius ideal is the balance between the individual’s personal vision and the collective shared vision. Like the heart and circulatory system, each system is crucial to the vitality of the other person.
In this full moon in Aquarius, the inspired lightning bolt is moving towards you. Just as an artist will occasionally receive adverse comments, all the feedback you strive for will be positive. Maybe your creative landscape is deprived of nutrients and becomes a little fragile. But even negative feedback, no matter how uncomfortable it is, can be useful – it can let you know that either you are not true to your vision or hang out with the wrong crowd. Adjust accordingly – and keep the heart of creativity.
