Full moon in Aquarius falls on August 3, 2020. Aquarius is a fixed air sign ruled by Saturn (in traditional astrology) and Uranus (in modern astrology). Some people assume it is a water sign because its symbol is the Water Bearer, but it is “all Air!” I often think of it as a cloud. When Aquarius encounters (feelings aka water), it releases them as rain.
