What future will your heart carry?
This Full Moon on July 29th at 4:35 pm for Zurich brings catapult potential – for things that have been left undone, outdated, and everything that has been festering inside you for a long time.
Astrologically, this Full Moon places us in the tension field of the fixed axis Aquarius-Leo : The Moon is in Aquarius, the Sun in Leo.
Aquarius is a rational air sign, representing visions, ingenious concepts, and ideals for a better future for all. But sometimes a vision becomes a rigid concept. Freedom turns into distance. An ideal becomes an ideology. This Full Moon may make us particularly aware of these rigid or outdated Aquarian ideas.
In contrast, the Sun is in its own sign of Leo. There, it shines most naturally and with the greatest power. Thus, Leo energy represents joie de vivre, creativity, heart energy, and the ability to make something happen.
The Full Moon at a glance
🌕 Moon in Aquarius
Visions, freedom, community and ideas for the future
☀️ Sun in Leo
Heart, creativity, joy of life and the courage to show yourself
🖤 Moon in close conjunction with Pluto - an intense constellation!
Outdated concepts and unconscious patterns become visible and are transformed.
💛 Sun in exact conjunction with Jupiter - a powerful constellation!
The sun's radiance is amplified, creativity and joy of life meet meaning in life, confidence and growth.
With this Full Moon, what prevents us from entering into the meaningful energy of the heart will be "melted away".
PS for astro-nerds: Pluto is integrated into the much-discussed basket-like configuration, with the small talent triangle formed by the spiritual planets. This configuration usually only has a collective effect. The full moon draws the energies down to a personal level. More than usual, we are currently being immediately rewarded or held back by the consequences of our actions. This configuration can foster inspiration for our projects and new perspectives on societal developments.
When Aquarius energy freezes
Aquarius represents brilliant ideas and a better future for everyone. But its shadow side reveals itself where:
A vision becomes a rigid concept
Freedom creates distance
An ideal becomes an ideology
the group becomes more important than the individual
Perhaps you know this:
You support a shared idea, are there for others, and have a keen sense of what the group needs. In doing so, you repeatedly put yourself last. Eventually, the concept might still suit the group – but it no longer suits you.
The key question of this Full Moon is:
Are the ideals I orient myself by still connected to my heart?

♈ Aries Ascendant and Aries
Group ideals, visions of the future, and affiliations are now becoming visible.
Which idea truly resonates with you? Where do you want to follow your creative heart again, instead of conforming to a group? Do you dare to make your creativity visible – without constantly worrying about what others think?
♉ Taurus ascendant and Taurus
Career paths, societal expectations, and concepts of success are now being examined.
Perhaps you've spent a long time trying to conform to a certain image of success. Now it might be becoming clearer that recognition alone doesn't fulfill you. What truly sustains you – independent of status, achievement, and the judgment of others?
♊ Gemini Ascendant and Gemini
Worldviews, spiritual beliefs, and ideas of "right" and "wrong" are now being examined.
Perhaps you've been clinging to an explanation or truth that once gave you a sense of security. Now your thinking can become more flexible and vibrant again. What insight will not only touch your mind but also open your heart to new perspectives?
♋ Cancer Ascendant and Cancer
Ideas about closeness, control, attachment, or dependence now become visible.
Perhaps you've tried to create security through particularly close relationships or through control. Strengthened self-esteem can help you connect deeply without losing yourself. Where can you allow closeness while still remaining true to yourself?
♌ Leo Ascendant and Leo
Relationship ideals or expectations of others are now being examined.
Perhaps this will reveal where you're clinging to a particular image of partnership or encounter. A vibrant relationship doesn't arise from a perfect concept, but from where both people are truly allowed to be present. Can you authentically connect with the other person without having to fulfill or expect a certain role?
♍ Virgo Ascendant and Virgo
Working methods, routines and optimization models are being put to the test.
Perhaps you've tried to gain security through planning, performance, or constant improvement. This full moon could show you where less control and more trust would be beneficial. What do you hear when you stop optimizing for a moment and listen to your inner voice?
♎ Libra Ascendant and Libra
Ideas about creativity, self-expression, or uniqueness can be questioned.
Perhaps you've tailored your expression to what others like or find appealing. Now, joy itself could once again become the most important measure. What vision do you want to share because it inspires you – and not because you expect approval?
♏ Scorpio Ascendant and Scorpio
Family influences and ideas of belonging become visible.
Perhaps you'll gain a clearer understanding of which old expectations or roles still influence your actions in the world. Your impact grows stronger when it springs from a vibrant, inner foundation. What roots strengthen you—and which familial notions can let go of their importance?
♐ Sagittarius Ascendant and Sagittarius
Thoughts, opinions, and communication patterns are examined.
Perhaps you've clung to an opinion because it was logical, convincing, or socially accepted. Now it might be about representing your own perspective while remaining open to connection and exchange. What insight not only broadens your horizons but also opens your heart?
♑ Capricorn Ascendant and Capricorn
Concepts about security, possessions, or self-worth are now being re-examined.
Perhaps you've strongly tied your self-worth to what you achieve, what you own, or what you can accomplish on your own. Now it might become clear that trust, closeness, and shared growth are also forms of strength. Where can you accept support without feeling like you're losing your independence?
♒ Aquarius Ascendant and Aquarius
An overly rigid idea of how you should appear to others or who you should be could now become apparent.
Perhaps you've tried to appear particularly independent, different, or unassailable. But true freedom doesn't come from distancing yourself from everything conventional and mainstream, or even rebelling against it, but also from showing yourself honestly. Can you act completely as yourself in the world, without emphasizing your uniqueness, your difference?
♓ Pisces Ascendant and Pisces
Unconscious collective ideas and old inner programs can now surface.
Perhaps you're becoming more aware of the thoughts, fears, or expectations you've unconsciously adopted from your environment. Your heart's truth now longs not only to be felt but also lived in everyday life. What small, concrete step will bring you closer today to the life that truly feels right to you?
A Full Moon ritual 🔥🌕
Timing: Ideally on the eve before the Full Moon, but the energy is still strong in the field for up to three days after the Full Moon.
Take a moment and write down one to three ideas that no longer resonate with you (or anything you want to let go of). For example:
"I need to belong so that I feel safe."
"My idea is only valuable if others understand it."
"Success has to look a certain way."
Then you can tear the paper into pieces and burn it in a fireproof bowl. Take extra care to ensure safety.
While the paper is burning, you can say:
I am letting go of ideas that are no longer alive.
I am opening myself to a future that is carried by my heart.
A large-scale clearing before the eclipses
This intense Aquarius Full Moon is the last "regular" lunation and, so to speak, a major clearing before we enter the intense eclipse phase:
August 12, 2026: total solar eclipse (partially visible in Switzerland)
August 28, 2026: partial lunar eclipse
A quick reminder: From an astrological perspective, eclipse periods can feel particularly turbulent and volatile. The urge to act is sometimes strong, while at the same time circumstances can change surprisingly quickly. 🎢
Would you like to know if and how the upcoming eclipse period will affect your job, your relationships, your family, or other important areas of your life?
