The Full Moon 🌕 in Aquarius ♒️, August 9, 2025
The eighth Full Moon of 2025, the Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius, falls just after the Lion’s Gate, during the period when Mother Earth shares her golden abundance.
The Full Sturgeon Moon at 16º60 in Aquarius on August 9, 2025, emphasizes innovation, group spirit, collective progress, social awareness, and breaking through old structures.
This Full Moon concludes a cycle that began on January 29, 2025, with the New Moon in Aquarius.
Over the past six months, boundaries have been pushed and redefined in group processes, friendships, and new and established relationships. Where do you stand now in the group or relationship? Have you lost yourself, or have you (re)discovered yourself?
The Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius forms a sextile with retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Aries and a trine with ruler Uranus in Gemini and Mars in Gemini. This creates a particularly dynamic aspect pattern: a Kite.
This Kite acts as a lightning rod for this electrically charged Uranian Full Moon, because a clear humanitarian choice must be made. Something must be sacrificed for a higher purpose or for a better future.
This Full Moon in Aquarius bears the name of the Sturgeon.
Sturgeons are actually solitary fish, but they can and do find value in cooperation in reproduction (creation). We don’t have to lose our individuality in the group or shared ideal.
We need each other.
During this Full Moon, we must keep that principle in mind.
Venus, with this Full Sturgeon Moon, forms a hopeful conjunction with the Great Benefactor Jupiter in Cancer. Embrace the collective spirit and seek connection, inspiration, and support from each other.
While we can’t control what happens around us, we can choose how we respond to it.
It’s especially important for the signs Aries, Leo, and Libra to pay attention to each other and what’s happening around you.
Coming so soon after the Lion’s Gate, this is a wonderful energy for bringing about change in friendships, group processes, social engagement, charities, and social media.
From your higher self, you see the divine synchronicity in every moment, because wonderful opportunities are coming, especially when Mercury goes direct in Leo on August 11, 2025!
