On August 9, 2025, the Full (Sturgeon) Moon will illuminate the sky in the free and visionary sign of Aquarius. This summer moon arrives as an invitation to break the invisible chains that limit our authentic expression and to fully embrace our uniqueness.
To start, remember that the Full Moon is the moment you reap what you sowed during the New Moon, which was this past July 24th. It's the perfect time to make a Full Moon wish to attract abundance, succeed in your projects, or improve your relationships.
During a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are positioned exactly opposite each other, creating that complete illumination that awakens our consciousness. This August Full Moon places the Sun in the sign of Leo (creative, radiant, generous) while the Moon shines at 17 degrees of the astrological sign of Aquarius (independent, innovative, humanitarian).
This opposition between the two luminaries activates the 5/11 astrological axis. To put it simply, the Sun in Leo, linked to the 5th House, represents your creative expression, your individuality, and your need for recognition, while the Moon in Aquarius, associated with the 11th Astrological House, symbolizes your collective ideals, your friendships, and your vision for the future. It's the axis of balancing personal affirmation with contributing to the collective—of shining alone versus illuminating together.
The 11th Astrological House, closely linked to Aquarius, governs the realms of friendship, group projects, and your hopes and dreams for the future. It also represents your capacity for innovation and your desire to contribute to something bigger than yourself.
📍 When the Full Moon illuminates the sign of Aquarius, it acts as a spotlight on your need for authenticity and freedom. Social masks suddenly feel too heavy to wear. Instead of continuing to play a role that no longer fits you, this is the perfect time to dare to be fully yourself. This phase pushes you to question conventions and forge your own path. If you suddenly feel the need to break free from the expectations of others, join a community that shares your values, or innovate in your approach to life, welcome this energy as a necessary and invigorating liberation. |

On August 9th, the Aquarius Full Moon is accompanied by a particularly intense astrological configuration with Mercury retrograde in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius. This opposition invites you to deepen your reflection and transform how you communicate your deepest truths. It's the perfect time to rethink old conversations and bring a new, liberating perspective to them.
A remarkable aspect colors this Full Moon: Mars in Libra opposes Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This cosmic tension asks you to make clear choices. No more straddling the fence! It's time to make a decision and abandon paths that lead nowhere to focus your energy on what truly matters.
The beautiful surprise of this lunation? Venus and Jupiter together in Cancer, bringing gentleness and emotional expansion. This benevolent conjunction balances the tensions and reminds you that innovation can be done with heart and sensitivity.

The sextile between Saturn in Aries and Uranus in Gemini (exact on August 12th but already active) is particularly significant since Uranus rules Aquarius. This combination allows you to blend boldness with caution, innovation with structure. It's like having a cosmic GPS guiding you toward change while preserving your essential foundations.
This Full Moon invites you to unleash your inner genius while staying grounded in reality. It's as if the universe is giving you permission to be different and original, all while building something lasting and meaningful.
The Full Moon occurs on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 7:56 AM GMT (3:56 AM EDT / 12:56 AM PDT) at 17 degrees of the sign of Aquarius.

🌕✨ And to make the most of these energies, here are 7 rituals to practice on a Full Moon night.
Since the Full Moon is an illumination, a spotlight, it can bring us a revelation.
🌕 The Full Moon: Time for a Check-InThe Full Moon can be a reward or the beginning of one; you know you're on the right path. On the other hand, if you've been passive or made the wrong moves during the New Moon, the Full Moon acts as an illumination, a revelation, a moment of truth, or even a crisis, which allows you to reorient yourself and act differently moving forward. The great thing about a Full Moon period is that you can see it as a second chance. It's either a happy culmination of your actions from the last New Moon, or it's a kind of "try again" wild card. |

You often ask us on social media or in the comments, so here's a collection of the most frequently asked questions. Feel free to ask more in the comments!
Beyond the legends of werewolves and other wild beliefs, the moon's influence on people and nature is well-known. Disrupted sleep, increased irritability and nervousness, and even a higher number of births are all associated with Full Moon nights.
With its regular cycle, similar to a woman's menstrual cycle, the moon is a powerful symbol of fertility. Additionally, the lunar pull that influences the tides leads many to believe the moon could also impact amniotic fluid and thus cause water to break. However, no statistics have ever proven that the number of births increases on Full Moon nights...
It's undeniable: the Full Moon affects the tides. Water is subject to the Moon's gravitational pull, and its position determines the tides. On a Full Moon night, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, their forces combine, and this results in more significant tides. Finally, as any green thumb will tell you, you can garden by the moon. The Moon's position can favor certain plantings, sowings, or growth, but the Full Moon itself doesn't necessarily have a direct impact on plants.
While the Full Moon appears bright from Earth because it's illuminated by the Sun, the New Moon isn't visible because it's located between the Earth and the Sun. As for a Supermoon, according to NASA, it's a phenomenon that occurs when the moon's orbit is closest to Earth and it is also in its full phase.
On a calendar, the Full Moon is represented by a white circle, while a black circle represents the New Moon, as you can see on our lunar calendar, which gives you the dates for Full and New Moons for the entire year.
Editor's Note: A Spotlight On...The Full Moon is a powerful moment in terms of energy. It's an illumination, a revelation—in short, a very intense time during which you can be shaken up or receive the best news. You usually reap what you sowed during the New Moon, so it's a good time to ask yourself: What did you do during the New Moon? What were the results? Did you get what you expected? How do you feel? It's also the best time to consult a psychic to benefit from the clarity of both the Full Moon and the advisor. Don't wait to make an appointment with one of our experts; they will illuminate your future with gentleness and care. The future is mine |
