What? Finally some Love?
The August 2016 full moon in Leo -Aquarius has an entourage which sets a pleasant range of scenarios in the relating arenas
Leo is the sign related to -sun, lions & all in the cat family, the heart...
When a full moon emphasises Leo and its opposite polarity, Aquarius there are two kinds of relating being contemplated: the romantic and the friendship - so some people will be weighing up this comparison, asking should we just be friends? is this person now my love interest? Can we be friendly lovers? These questions highlight the differences: is this a dynamic that is intense and exclusive? or do we want more space, a more casual, random thing that has sex as an option? Leo wants the former, Aquarius wants the latter.

August 2016 sees other factors involved
and these are likely to arise as the Moon enlarges, in the waxing phase, before full moon on the 18th.
Venus the love goddess is exact on the lunar nodal axis on August 16. Virgo is the sign emphasis.
Virgo is a shy position for Venus
The workplace is the Virgo territory.
Neptune is in Pisces opposite Venus and also on the lunar nodal axis.
With Neptune softening Virgo there is a highly romantic, sensitive and spiritual connection on offer for many [drink & drugs as lubricants for some too]
Saturn is at odds with Venus & Neptune on the weekend 13-14 Aug -looking like separations, endings, disappointment, frustration, disillusionment [Saturn] will be the final release for some to begin something new on the relationship front [Venus]

The nodal axis being involved with Venus intensifies the significance of any encounters unfolding in mid August 2016: people strongly triggered now have a strong connection.
Helping things along, the assertive Mars energy is in Sagittarius in August creating the keyword phrase sexually adventurous.
Jupiter is also in Virgo - Jupiter increases, enlarges, magnifies, takes to the extreme whatever it blends with -so Virgo is work, workplace, lots of details, but also euphoria at work [love can do that]
Jupiter is connected to Uranus strongly in the middle weeks of August:
Uranus is the quirky energy related to Aquarius - but it is moving through Mars' sign Aries in 2016.
Aquarius is more of a group-oriented sign, an energy preferring collective activities. But when Uranus is in Aries the focus has to come back to the personal needs, personal identity - how about me? instead of always going with what the group wants, or selflessly working for causes and leaving no energy for a personal life.
Asserting your individuality [Aries] is still important no matter what kind of relationship you are involved in.
The August full moon highlights this need to look at your love life so that it meets your personal needs.
With Jupiter triggering Uranus two energies of liberation are emphasised.
Finding a new kind of love - that could be a totally different sort of heart-to-heart than ever before, one that is a lot freer, more unconventional - but with Jupiter in Virgo bringing extra heavy workloads for a lot of people - adjustments have to be made to make room for love in your life as well. How important is that heavy workload? How important is your personal emotional well-being? Can you change the structure of your life to accomodate a different balance.
If you have felt compelled to make such changes already, before August 18, be assured this is the time to enact them and enable for yourself a liberation of your heart
addendum Aug 10
Though a significantly healing energy arises at the 10th of August [Jupiter-Chiron opposition] as a prelude to the unfolding changes, the use of that energy can have either positive or negative outcomes: feeling spiritually cleansed can flow into emotional positivity - or be utilised as the sense of mission or destiny to commit violent acts of purification against others.
[this theme explored in July is still alive]
And the more aggravated potentials of the full moon of August 2016 are likely to unfold after the fullness - around the 23rd-24th with the connectivity of Mars, Saturn, Uranus [Mars-Saturn conjunct in Sagittarius, semisquare Uranus in Aries] following the Aries Moon -emotionally fuelling destructive violence that has its basis in fundamentalist faith or beliefs. This upsurge can occur in many contexts and locations -it's all about a belief that others who do not follow your ideas need to be destroyed.
Best to avoid environments where potentials are high for this type of encounter.
update Suicide bombing in Turkey August 20
update destructive earthquakes hit Italy and Myanmar [both locations beginning Aug 24] This violent and damaging energy stems from the same forces as the human behaviour generated by the Mars-Saturn-Uranus combination indicated for this period -Italy quake astrology here
