Ahoy, star seeds! The full sturgeon moon rises and shines in the wee hours of Saturday morning, bringing with it both trials and triumphs.
The full moon will directly oppose the sun in Leo on August 9th, 2025, at 3:55 am EDT AT 16°59 of Aquarius.

The Leo/Aquarius axis points to themes of the self in relationship to the other, individual expression in relationship to collective consciousness — and the heart and the head in conversation and opposition.
“The full moon is often associated with relationships because it signifies a time of union, heightened emotions, and deep connection. It is a moment when we can align with our heartfelt sentiments and move towards our romantic visions,” Hily Dating app astrologer Lisa Stardust told The Post.
While we’ll all be riding the tide of this water-bearing full moon, four zodiac signs will feel the undertow most acutely.
Stardust suggests that the people of the bull may be inclined to play it cool and close to heart under the light of this full moon. Here and now, silence is not disinterest, and patience can be a radical act of self-love.
“You may feel shy about revealing your true sentiments to others right now, Taurus. Don’t feel pressured to speak up or speed up a relationship. Center your thoughts and take time to decipher your emotions. Move at your own pace. Then, you can make the decisions that are best for you.”
The full moon in Aquarius highlights your seventh house of trusted partnership, Leo, encouraging you to open your mind, loosen the reins, exit your rut and bring on the smut.
“Plot and plan your next journey, any activity that will allow you to take the focus off mundane tasks and enlighten your mind.”
Depth is your game and your goal, Scorpio, yet you often hesitate to dive all in when it comes to your closest connection.
With the full moon shining a light on your fourth house of roots and foundations, you’re blessed with the bluster to go the distance, or the depth, in building bonds that fortify and fertilize.
“Now you can commit to a crush and become much more intimate with another than you ever thought possible. Do not shy away from sharing your future aspirations with your partner or potential partner. Move towards commitment. Let go of your fears to merge,” said Stardust.
For the Aquarius contingent, Stardust predicts there will be something of a pull between heartstrings and synapses under this full moon.
“Passion is in the air right now, but you’re unsure how to move forward. Slow your relationship down and connect over conversation. Keep it light.”
She promises that in steering clear of the heavy in the here and now, you can build the kind of rapport necessary to confront hard-hitting matters with an air of levity.
