Sturgeon Moon – August 9, 2025 (Full Moon in Aquarius)

This visionary lunation peaks at 2:55 p.m. ET on August 9, 2025, illuminating Aquarius’ radical frequencies—a cosmic summons to dismantle outdated systems and co-create a future rooted in liberation and innovation.

Cosmic Significance

Named by fishing tribes for the abundance of sturgeon in North American lakes, this moon symbolizes ancestral wisdom and the flow of collective resilience. In Aquarius, an air sign ruled by revolutionary Uranus, the Sturgeon Moon activates themes of societal change, technological awakening, and unconventional truth-seeking.

A striking conjunction with Uranus in Taurus sparks sudden breakthroughs in sustainability and communal resource-sharing. The Moon’s opposition to the Sun in Leo urges us to balance individual creativity with group needs, while a harmonious sextile to Jupiter in Gemini amplifies visionary ideas. Mercury retrograde in Virgo heightens attention to ethical details, ensuring innovations serve the many, not the few.
