The heart is an immense source of power – a channel of love, change, and evolution. Within it lives guidance, truth, and wisdom. Within it lives access to deep knowing, healing, transformative energy, answers, potential and beyond.
This Full Moon invites us to remember this – to realign with the wisdom of the heart and all that it offers. To bring the mind into the heart so that it may be cleansed and renewed – so that it might remember its higher truth, guidance, and purpose.

August 2025 Full Moon in Aquarius
Held within the future oriented air sign of Aquarius – a zodiac that sharpens intuition and heightens clarity, a zodiac that speaks to collective vision and moves with liberation.
Aquarius is an air sign – an element that lives within the mind. Yet the Moon is water, body, feeling, being. Aquarius is a collective sign – moving for the All, acting as an agent of change for humanity. The Moon is deeply personal, living within our hearts, our hidden waters.
This full Moon reminds us that we cannot be agents of change, we cannot hold or offer liberation for self or all – from the mind alone. To bring forth change we need to first come into the heart. To welcome a new future, we need to embody a new future. We need to remember what matters individually and uniquely to us, so that we may let that truth move through each action we take.
Aquarius Full Moon Astrology
A full Moon arrives as the Sun and Moon sit opposite one another in our skies. Highlighting polarity yet inviting us into the meeting point of the two – bridging seemingly opposite layers of ourselves into one, finding the space where opposites become allies, where opposites are, in truth, partners, where opposites remember themselves as One.
As the Moon illuminates while in Aquarius, the Sun shines through Leo. Together, they activate the axis of self and collective – of heart and mind. Opposing signs that, in truth, long to merge. One cannot exist without the other. One thrives through the other.
A healthy collective cannot exist without healthy individuals. Just as we cannot serve the collective without first being rooted in selfhood – connected and moving from our own truths, our own medicine, our own intentions and offerings.
To serve life/humanity we must first bow our heads to our own truth, purpose, and selfhood, so that it may guide us as we move through this life interconnected.
For it is within each of us that all vision for a better future lives.
Etched into the very essence within us all are the potentials, the possibilities, and the seeds for a new reality. They don’t exist out there. They exist within you. Within your heart. Within your unique spark of life. With the essence that makes you you. When you are moving from this space, everyone, and everything, benefits.
Our second polarity of the Leo-Aquarius axis is heart and mind.
Seemingly opposite, yet like all polarities – existing as One. To move from the heart, we are reminded of the space where the heart and mind aren’t separate – not in truth. For as we bridge the heart with the mind we are taken into the higher Mind. This is the higher octave of Aquarius – the Divine Mind, the Cosmic Mind, the Mind of the Heart.
The Mind that sees through the eyes of Love – a perspective that will always bring us back to truth, meaning, what matters, and a perspective that will serve both the self and the other, the individual and all of life, the present and the future.
To come from the heart, and the Mind as a Vessel for the Heart, is to be in service to ourselves and every living form – it is where self and collective become One.
Under this lunation, come home to your heart. Clear the noise of everything but it. The noise of mind. The noise of every other human. Create a sacred sanctuary to tune in within, a space where it is only you. And – let this space heal you. Let it cleanse you. Let it birth you anew. Let it offer you future visions. Let it open portals of your forward direction. Let it connect your sight into the cosmos. Let it open your heart and reconnect your Mind with it.
Because the future is speaking under this lunation: your future, your dreams, your hopes and your visions. And our future, our dreams, our hopes and visions. For ourselves. For one another.
But it cannot reach us unless we come home to ourselves first. The future moves through each individual. It all begins here – with the immense power of the heart: a channel for love, for change, and for evolution.
August Full Moon Invitations
Both the Sun in Leo and the Aquarius Full Moon speak to dynamics including the individual self, but also beyond the individual self. While the Sun shines in Leo we are reminded of the importance of connecting to the Self – that without it we can find our actions, thinking, being swayed and shaped by the many voices around us.
This lunation invites us to come home to that Self.
To clear the outer noise of every other human on this planet for at least a moment, so that we can hear the call of our own hearts, truths, perspectives, and desires.
This full Moon is a call for the collective, and the way we are each feeding into humanity. It asks us what we want to offer to the whole – for one another, yet it reminds us that we cannot know that answer unless we know how to hear our own voice.
Full Moon in Aquarius Ritual
Aquarius Full Moon Ritual: Sacred Interruption
Under the fire of the Leo New Moon, we journey into the Akashic Records to meet the part of ourselves that has always known who we are – the spark, the essence, the radiance of your truth.
This transmission is a homecoming. A remembrance of your innate light. A reconnection with your inner child who plays without apology, dreams without limitation, and knows how to lead from the heart.
Guided gently into the Akasha, we step beyond the veils of fear and into the field of infinite soul memory. Through symbolism, imagery, and energy, we sit with our inner child and witness the story of our essence unfold. And we allow the brilliance that lives within us to spiral back through our being, infusing our body, mind, and spirit with the truth of who we are.

Full Moon in Aquarius Horoscopes for each Zodiac Sign
Aries Rising
Open channel. Vast realms. Possibility after possibility. Potential after potential. This full Moon invites you to open your awareness, Aries Rising. To remember your mind as an antenna for the cosmos, to the vaster realm of all potentials. Play in the stars. Dream up new ways of being. Speak with your future. Envision. Feel. For this lunation offers a deep release of the ways you have gotten swayed, lost, dimmed in collective noise – so that you might return to your channel and remember your belonging within this vast existence as the unique light that you are.
Taurus Rising
Root down. Anchor within. What are the deep truths that belong to no one but you? Your inner compass. Your inner foundations. The being that guides every outward movement. This lunation invites you to begin there, so that you may then look outward, observing any ways in which your inner power, your inner compass, knowing, and truth has become swayed, dimmed, or put aside for any which reason. And just as the Moon in reaches her fullness only to begin shedding layers, you too, in the height of this awareness, are invited to begin shedding those layers – so that you may remember yourself as the authority, the leader, the one you can trust, the one that guides.
Gemini Rising
Horizons call. Truth stirs. Questions open like doors that invite you into new realms. Questions not asking to be answered. Questions asking to be remembered as portals into more. This full Moon invites you to lift your gaze beyond the familiar and known, to let curiosity lead you into the vast, uncharted edges of your becoming. To notice where you have accepted truths that were never truly yours, and to release them into the cosmos. To let the mind be stretched by wonder, the heart expanded by possibility, and the soul reminded that life is more than what you have known and been shown. Shed the beliefs that have kept your vision small, for life wants to show you so much more.
Cancer Rising
There is deep wisdom, knowing, truth and direction weaved through the realm of your body, feelings, deeper layers, Cancer Rising. And this full Moon is taking you by the hand and walking you step by step, descending together into underworld of your being. Acting as the most beautiful illuminating light, it invites an awareness of both your deep tenderness and your power. Of what has been hidden, protected, and bound in silence – and your own medicine, empowerment, and higher awareness. It is a release of old energetic entanglements, unhealthy power dynamics, cords that are no longer in service to soul. Remember yourself as whole, sovereign, unbound, ready to rise from your depths with more of your light reclaimed.
 Leo Rising
Listen closely to the ways others reflect your light, shadows, and becoming, Leo Rising. Allow the world to be your mirror – for it is showing you exactly what is ready to be transformed, reclaimed, loved, healed, celebrated. Notice where connection feels like truth, and where it bends you away from yourself. The Moon illuminates, Aquarius offers a seer-like objectivity – together they invite an awareness of the patterns you have played out in partnerships, whether in love, friendship, or collaboration, and allow what no longer aligns to dissolve. For we know that each partnership tells us what we need to know about ourselves. We remember all to be a mirror.
Virgo Rising
The Sacred lives in the small, the mundane, the every day, Virgo Rising – and while this truth is etched into the very fabric of your zodiacal essence, this full Moon is a big beautiful reminder of it. It invites you to be with the holy within your daily rhythms, the sacred within your body, and the magic in your craft, your world, and each step within it. Notice where the thread of care (for yourself, your devotion, your body and true work) has frayed – where your giving has emptied you, or where perfection has dulled the joy and beauty of the process. This lunation invites to shed whatever keeps each day from become a quiet prayer to the life you are creating.
Libra Rising
Joy. Creation. Sovereignty. Play. Abundance. You. This full Moon offers a release, for the purpose of remembering, aligning with, and wholly being the unfiltered expression of who you are when you are not measuring, pleasing, or performing. You are a gift and you are art. You are light and you are every flower. Notice where you have dimmed your spark to fit into the harmony of others, and let those layers fall away – give them to the Moon, let them release from every layer of your being. And instead, give yourself to play, creation, and love that feels like sunlight. And in the process, remember yourself as these very things.
Scorpio Rising
Aquarius offers a profound seer-like capacity to peer into spaces and observe patterns. It offers a light of objectivity and awareness. And this lunation invites you to look deep within – through the lens of Aquarius. It invites you to traverse your own hallways and return to your foundations. To notice where the past still lives within you and how you are living with and through it. Does it seep into the present in ways unwanted, unconscious, disempowering? What old stories or inherited patterns take reign of the present moment, bound you, hold you in loops? Awareness is power. Awareness offers choice. With this awareness – unbound, re-write, and land in this present chapter of your life anew.
Sagittarius Rising
Your mind is a lens, a window, a specific frame of reference. It is innately subjective, colouring reality with its perspectives – whether our own, or those taken on. And this lunation invites you to remember this – to remember the creative essence of your words, thoughts, ideas, perspectives. And to observe its receptive nature, soaking in the views, thoughts, and perceptions of others. Under this lunation, observe where you have taken on voices that are not your own – ideas, narratives, or opinions that dull your clarity – and let them float back into the ethers. As you clear the space and come home to being the singular occupant of your mind – you will be reminded that it – that you – are a bridge between realms, a weaver of new stories, a channel for vision. Let language become a spell that calls your future into being.
Capricorn Rising
This lunation invites you to stand firmly in the ground of your own enoughness, Capricorn Rising. To remember that your worth was never something to be proven, earned, or negotiated. To notice where outside measures have sought to define your value and in that awareness begin to take back your own power, releasing them back into the ethers. This full Moon is a call back into the resources that live within you: your wisdom, your craft, your beauty, knowing, and essence. For it is there that abundance on all levels grows: from the quiet power of knowing what you carry, and what you are.
Aquarius Rising
A threshold moment. A return to self. This full Moon invites you to stand in the mirror of your own becoming and see yourself clearly, Aquarius Rising – beyond roles, beyond expectation, beyond the versions of you shaped by others’ visions, beyond old identities. Notice what is ready to be shed, what no longer feels like a true expression of who you are. Let this lunation remind you of your right to evolve, to grow, and embody new shapes. Step forward as the living, breathing expression of your own frequency. This is your phoenix moment.
Pisces Rising
The unseen is speaking, Pisces Rising, inviting you into the quiet realms within, where intuition whispers and the soul remembers. Notice the subtle threads – synchronicities, images, feelings – that weave through your days, nights, dreams – awake and asleep – guiding you toward release. Let yourself lay down what you’ve been carrying unseen, the silent weights, the unspoken stories. From here, surrender becomes renewal. And as you open to the vastness beyond the visible, you return with a deeper trust in the currents that carry you.
