The full moon of August 2025 is nearly here.
Coming the day after the Lion's Gate Portal, this lunation is bringing innovation and change, since it's in the forward-thinking air sign of Aquarius.
Meditation and peace of mind under the full moon are key, since it's the time of month that urges us to focus on releasing old habits and transitioning to a more relaxed state of being.
Here's what to know about how the full moon will impact your sign.
How can you see August 2025's full moon?
The full moon reaches peak fullness on the morning of Saturday, Aug. 9 at 3:55 a.m. EDT.
The moon will appear full on the evening of Aug. 8 and Aug. 10, too.
What is the astrological meaning of August 2025's full moon?
Full moons are always times of release in astrology but each takes on a different flavor depending on the sign it's in and other astrological happenings.
The day of the full moon, Mars in Libra opposes Neptune retrograde in Aries, making us lost in our imagination. The fantasy may appear to be better than reality, but it'll prove to be flawed — especially since Mercury is retrograde. Dream big, just leave wiggle room for change.
We are leaning into our community for strength and manifesting our innermost visions. The only caveat is that Mercury retrograde might put a stall on making our dreams a reality, but that doesn't mean they won't come true.
How might the August full moon impact your sign?
Aries
You're in the mood to connect with your pals. However, you may discover they have changed since you last spoke, and the vibe is off. Before you get angry or huff and puff about the matter (which you usually do), give the relationship time to readjust and reconnect.
Taurus
You are known to put on the glamour regarding how the public perceives you. This month, you are taking a more bare-bones and direct approach to what you post on social media. Your honesty and candidness will help you gain a loyal following and more respect.
Gemini
Although it's hard sometimes, you must start looking at the bigger picture. Don't get too caught up in the little details of relationships. Keep an open mind to gain perspective. This will help you avoid snap judgments and gossip with others.
Cancer
Now would be the time for you to put on your detective hat. Use your intuition to discover truths that have been hidden. By doing this, you can gain a more profound understanding of matters and relationships.
Leo
A friendly debate with those in your social circle will leave you thirsting for more excitement. Before you go full throttle into creating more drama for fun, think about what you are trying to prove to others, even yourself. Listen to what others are saying now before reacting right away.
Virgo
It's time for you to embrace your quirky sentiments. If you don't, you will become anxious over the mundane details of life. Stop trying to hide the fact that you like rigidity and organization. Be open about these needs. You don't have to hide the truth about yourself now.
Libra
Your words can be a form of art if you use them to express your innermost sentiments creatively. Use poetry or art to let people know how you feel. This will be a form of healing or therapy for you.
Scorpio
Without a better word, much drama is brewing in your family life. Before you argue your points, take a moment away from the situation to understand if it's worth the effort and frustration. Dipping out of the arguments is the best thing to do.
Sagittarius
Your communication is more concise and cutting than usual, which may create hurt feelings with others. Words of advice: Think carefully before you respond to emails and texts. You can be direct, but expressive in a nice way. You don't have to make a splash to get your points across.
Capricorn
Your confidence is radiating, pushing you to defend yourself when people criticize you. You aren't wrong to assert your voice and stand up for yourself.
Aquarius
Your discerning eye lets you see matters from a million miles away. Allowing yourself to figure out situations from a distance will help you find clarity. Use this time to determine how you feel about situations and what you want to do about them.
Pisces
Verbal communication won't be your strong suit over the next few weeks, as you're leaning into your intuition. The caveat is that people can't read your mind, so you'll have to find a way to let your sentiments be known without being manipulative.
