The Full Moon in Aquarius is exact on August 9, 2025, at 3:54 a.m. Eastern. Adjust for your location. The Moon is at 16°59 of Aquarius, so round it to 17°. Look to where that degree lands in your chart. That house is the one getting lit up. Something is being brought into full view. It’s clear, it’s loud, and it’s likely tied to a part of your future you’re just starting to actually see now.
Aquarius is forward-thinking, sharp, and rarely subtle. Full Moons are moments of clarity, but this one has teeth. It may show you something you didn’t notice before, or couldn’t articulate. Something you thought was far off is now in front of you. There’s a sudden certainty. You feel it land, you feel the shift, and you can’t unsee it. That’s the kind of knowing Aquarius brings. Detached, sure, but not vague. It locks in.
This is a Full Moon that wants you to focus ahead. Something new is opening. There may be insights, downloads, or realizations that hit you like a jolt. Things you couldn’t fully grasp now suddenly make sense. Aquarius clears your mental fog and snaps things into alignment. It sharpens the vision, especially your inner vision. Crystalline energy. Hardwired insight. The message? You’re not the same anymore, and it’s time to act like it.
The Sun sits opposite the Moon at 16°59 of Leo. This is Leo season at full strength, with the Sun in its own home sign. The Leo-Aquarius axis is the push-pull between the individual and the collective. Between personal brilliance and public resonance. Between being seen and being part of something bigger. Between “Look at ME!” and “Look at what we can do together!”
We’re also sitting on the middle degrees of the fixed signs. Both Leo and Aquarius at 15° are considered “world points” in astrology, degrees that amplify visibility, prominence, and activation. This Full Moon has just passed those points but is still within orb, still active. These are cross-quarter points, the midseason degrees that link personal timelines to bigger collective ones. What happens now isn’t just about you, it’s likely connected to something unfolding on a much larger scale.
Leo rules the performer, the creator, the recognized voice. Aquarius rules the audience, the network, the movement. Leo creates. Aquarius distributes. Leo shines. Aquarius circulates. The polarity is active, and this Full Moon might reveal where your message lands, or doesn’t.
Aquarius also rules the internet, technology, mass communication, and social systems. So this Moon could light up what’s working and what’s broken in your online spaces, group involvement, or digital ecosystems. It might also bring up questions around visibility, censorship, collective direction, or community alignment.
We’re not done. This chart is stacked.
There are three major oppositions between fire and air signs: the Sun and Moon, Mercury and Pluto, and Mars opposite both Saturn and Neptune. That’s a lot of tension. The mind wants clarity, the soul wants rest, the body wants to move, but everything’s pulling in opposite directions. You may feel inspired to act, but unsure of the path. You may have a plan, but feel like it’s not time yet. There’s friction here between desire and delivery.
Mercury stations direct on August 11 and is still opposing Pluto in Aquarius. That’s deep, sharp, obsessive energy. Mercury in Leo wants to say something, to announce something, but Pluto is watching like a sniper. Be mindful of what you say, and who’s listening.
Saturn and Neptune are retrograde in Aries. Mars in Libra is opposing both. That’s a fight between vision and action. Between the long-term and the immediate. Between what’s real and what’s ideal. Mars in Libra doesn’t like to rush. He’s weighing every angle. But these Aries planets don’t care. They want movement. They want the real you. They want your next chapter to start already.
And Mars is part of a grand air trine: Mars in Libra, Pluto in Aquarius, and Uranus in Gemini. All three air signs are activated. That’s a huge energetic current, fast, mobile, restless. Ideas are flowing. Change is happening. If you’ve been stuck, this might be the crack in the dam. A grand air trine is formed when three planets are positioned 120° apart in each of the air signs—Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius—creating a closed triangle of support and movement through ideas, intellect, communication, and innovation. The energy flows easily, often too easily. You get insights, realizations, and brilliant ideas without much friction. The challenge is that a grand trine won’t push you, it opens the door, but you still have to walk through it.
That trine also forms a kite configuration with Mercury in Leo as the anchor. Mercury is sextile both Mars and Uranus, and opposing Pluto. This creates a launch point. A kite happens when a fourth planet opposes one point of a grand trine, creating a long axis that turns passive harmony into directed motion. Mercury becomes the pressure release, the drive, the pointed end of the arrow. The grand trine supplies the power, but the kite tells it where to go. This is where the whole thing lifts off. Mercury wants to speak. It wants to choose. It wants to create. But there’s fear here too, Pluto is no lightweight. You might find yourself voicing something you’ve held in all year. This is not a quiet internal monologue. This is the tipping point.
There’s another kite too. Pluto and Uranus both sextile Saturn and Neptune in Aries, aiming energy directly at those early Aries degrees. That’s the message: you are becoming someone new. Even if it’s not fully formed yet, even if it’s not entirely clear. Saturn says build it. Neptune says trust it. Aries says do it anyway. Mars might be hesitant. He’s thinking about other people. But the message from the rest of the chart is: choose yourself.
Now, Venus and Jupiter are about to meet at 14° Cancer on August 11. Same day Mercury stations direct. This is a sweet moment. Personal, private, emotional. Not a public display. More like a warm light in a quiet room. Something that feels good. Comfort, love, rest, maybe just a good meal or a hug that lands. It’s not huge, but it matters.
Venus and Jupiter in Cancer will soon trine the North Node in Pisces, which is retrograding through 19°. That’s a soul-level realignment. Trust, faith, intuition. You may not have proof, but you know. That trine perfects in early September, when Jupiter reaches 18° Cancer and the Node hits 18° Pisces. So whatever’s sparked now could blossom then. Now back to the big stuff.
That grand air trine and the grand fire trine form a rare grand sextile, a full six-pointed star configuration. That’s Merkaba-level geometry. It’s an activation portal. And it’s entirely in fire and air. No Earth here. Nothing grounding. Nothing slowing you down. This is about movement, speed, electricity, flame. If you feel unanchored, that’s why. You’re being pulled forward fast. There’s a minor grand trine here too. Pluto, Uranus, and Saturn form a triangle that acts like an arrow. It points forward. It says go. It doesn’t care if you’re ready.
August and September are setting the stage for long-term shifts. This Full Moon kicks it off. The Virgo New Moon on August 25 opens the eclipse season. September brings the first eclipses. But this Aquarius Moon gives you the download in advance. The insight. The signal. The spark. Each piece of this chart moves on its own timeline. The Full Moon is fast. Hours. The air grand trine holds for four or five days. The outer planet configurations hold for weeks. The story unfolds in layers. But it starts here.
So look at 17° Aquarius. That’s your Full Moon illumination point. Then check the early degrees of Gemini, Libra, Leo, and Aries. Those are your activators. 14° Cancer is your comfort zone. That’s the soft spot in the middle of all this. You’re not here to stay still. You’re here to see what’s changed, and move accordingly.
By Houses
1st House: This is personal. When the Full Moon lands in your 1st house, the focus is you. Not your job, not your partner, not your goals. You. How you enter a room. How others respond. And most importantly, how you see yourself when the noise dies down. There’s a confrontation here between the image you’ve built and the person you’ve become. You might realize you’ve been shrinking, compensating, or wearing a version of yourself that no longer fits. Something clicks, and it becomes impossible to keep doing it that way. With Pallas here, you’re not reacting blindly. You’re analyzing your own presentation and making surgical adjustments. This is identity as architecture. You see what needs to shift, in posture, in voice, in rhythm. The 1st house governs your body, your stance, your instinctive response to life. And Aquarius sharpens it all into view. This Moon is not soft, but it is precise. You are not performing. You are aligning. This marks the beginning of a new cycle of embodiment. One rooted in observation and clarity. You will not move the same after this. You have seen who you are, and the world will see it too.
2nd House: When the Full Moon lands in your 2nd house, the spotlight moves to value. Yes, money and material resources are part of it, but the heart of this house is what you believe you’re worth. What you claim, what you keep, and what you no longer chase. Something is being illuminated now, something foundational. A financial pattern. A scarcity loop. A distorted belief about what you deserve. And Aquarius, cool and exacting, slices right through it. Pallas joins this lunation, sharpening your logic. You see what’s working and what’s not. You understand the cost of staying small or undercharging. You recognize where your energy has been spent without return. You do not need to overcorrect, but you do need to tell the truth. This is not about hustle or grind. It is about self respect. The 2nd house is slow to change, but once it does, it anchors deeply. What shifts now will have staying power. If you’ve been waiting to raise your standards, rewrite your budget, or call your value back to yourself, this is the moment. It is not emotional. It is mathematical. And you know the numbers no longer add up.
3rd House: The Full Moon in your 3rd house brings revelation through words, thoughts, and patterns. This is your mental circuitry under a spotlight. Something you’ve been trying to articulate finally lands. Maybe it slips out in conversation. Maybe you write it down and feel the truth in your bones. Or maybe someone else says the thing you’ve been dancing around, and suddenly everything rearranges. The 3rd house governs speech, siblings, neighbors, your daily environment. Clarity might arrive in the middle of a text exchange or a casual walk through your neighborhood. With Pallas here, pattern recognition is baked in. You see the loops you’ve been stuck in. You hear the script you’ve been repeating. The narrative gets cleaner. You stop justifying. You say what you mean. Aquarius brings sharpness to the mind. Detached, yes, but effective. You are not trying to be nice. You are trying to be honest. And that honesty rewires something internal. This house rules learning and communication, but it also shapes how you make sense of the world. You may leave this Full Moon speaking differently, thinking more clearly, and knowing with certainty what is yours to say.
4th House: The 4th house holds your roots. Home, family, memory, and emotional infrastructure live here. When a Full Moon hits this part of your chart, something buried comes up. This might be a memory, a truth you’ve resisted, or a realization about your foundation that shifts how you see everything built on top of it. It does not have to be dramatic, but it will be defining. Aquarius rules systems, structures, and circuitry. It strips away sentiment and reveals function. With Pallas present, you are not overwhelmed. You are observing. You see the blueprint of your upbringing, the emotional legacy passed to you, the choices you’ve made in response. This is the house of ancestry and private identity. You are being shown what shaped you, and whether it still supports who you are now. A literal home issue might arise. A conversation with family. Or maybe just a still, quiet reckoning that lands hard. What matters is that it changes something. A floor you thought was solid might need reinforcing. A wall may need to come down. This is not punishment. It is repair. You are not just remembering. You are rebuilding.
5th House: When the Full Moon lights up your 5th house, it lands in your heart space. This is the part of the chart that rules joy, creation, passion, and play. Something you’ve made, or wanted to make, steps into the spotlight now. A project, a performance, a love interest, a risk you’ve taken. You see it clearly for what it is. Not what it promised to be, but what it actually is. And that truth shapes your next move. Aquarius energy is not emotional, but it is honest. This Moon might show you where you’ve been performing for approval, or where you’ve been withholding yourself out of fear. Pallas brings strategy, helping you distinguish between what is truly expressive and what is habit. The 5th house also rules the inner child, and this Moon may reflect a moment from your past, a desire that got left behind, or a part of yourself that still wants to be seen. You do not have to prove anything. You just have to participate. Creativity is not about perfection. It is about connection. This is your permission to feel again, to express without filter, and to let joy have its place.
6th House: The Full Moon in your 6th house brings a diagnostic report. This is the house of work, health, habits, service, and everything you rely on to keep life functioning. When Aquarius lights it up, you see the system. You understand what’s broken, what’s outdated, and what needs adjusting. This is not a crisis. It is a recalibration. And with Pallas involved, you’re not guessing. You see the flaw in the framework, and you know how to address it. Maybe it’s your schedule, your job, your body. Maybe it’s the weight of caretaking or obligations that no longer align. Aquarius offers detachment. You are not drowning in emotion. You are standing above the pattern and recognizing its impact. This house governs routines, rituals, and invisible labor. If something has been draining your energy, this Moon shows you where and why. You can shift the load. You can rewrite the rules. And once you do, everything else runs smoother. The 6th house may be mundane, but it is foundational. This is where daily life finds integrity. Clean systems. Clear thinking. Right use of energy. From that place, everything grows stronger.
7th House: The 7th house is where you meet the other. It rules one-on-one dynamics of all kinds—romantic, professional, adversarial. When the Full Moon lands here, something within a key relationship becomes visible. This could be a shift in power, a truth finally spoken, or a recognition that things have changed. It doesn’t have to be dramatic, but it will be clarifying. You cannot unsee it. Pallas brings strategy to this revelation. You are not flailing. You are reading the dynamic clearly. You understand what’s been working, what hasn’t, and where it might be time to renegotiate terms. That could mean re-committing with awareness. It could also mean letting go. The 7th house is not just about love. It’s about agreements, contracts, mirrors. It reveals how you relate, and how your patterns play out through others. With Aquarius in the mix, what is revealed might be unconventional. Or it might show you that what you’ve accepted as “normal” no longer fits. This is not about blame. It’s about equilibrium. You do not need to justify needing more. You just have to acknowledge what balance really looks like, and whether you’ve had it.
8th House: The Full Moon in your 8th house shines a cold light on the deep stuff. This house rules intimacy, trust, shared resources, and shadow work. It’s where we hold trauma, secrets, and power dynamics. When the Moon illuminates this space, something you’ve buried may rise to the surface. That could be a truth you’ve avoided, a pattern you’ve outgrown, or a realization about what you’ve been carrying that is not yours. With Pallas conjunct, this is not about drowning in emotion. It’s about understanding the machinery behind it. Aquarius energy slices through the fog and exposes the system. You may recognize the emotional contracts you’ve signed, the debts you’ve accepted, the roles you’ve played in silence. The clarity may sting, but it also liberates. This is a powerful time to cut cords, release obligations, or restructure shared responsibilities. It might involve money. It might involve sex. It will absolutely involve truth. The 8th house holds both endings and legacies. You are not just reacting. You are reclaiming. What surfaces now is meant to be processed, not pushed back down. Face it fully. Then decide what no longer gets to follow you forward.
9th House: The Full Moon in your 9th house expands your perspective. This is the part of the chart that governs beliefs, truth, wisdom, and the frameworks you use to make sense of your life. Under this Moon, something about your worldview cracks open. You may have an epiphany, a change of philosophy, or a sudden need to speak, teach, publish, or leave. What once felt like truth may now feel limiting. Aquarius brings clarity through detachment. It is not about what feels good. It is about what makes sense. And with Pallas present, you see the logic behind the shift. You understand why the old system is failing, and what kind of new structure might support you better. This is not a small adjustment. The 9th house is broad. It touches everything. You may feel the urge to share what you’ve learned. Or to burn down a belief system you once lived by. That’s not betrayal. That’s growth. The 9th house asks you to find your own compass. And this Moon reminds you that wisdom is not static. It evolves. You are being asked to evolve with it, and to follow where the insight leads.
10th House: When the Full Moon lands in your 10th house, something about your public life, role, or long-term trajectory becomes visible. This house rules career, reputation, and legacy. Whatever emerges now may affect how you are seen, acknowledged, or held accountable. It may be a moment of recognition or a wake-up call. You might be praised. You might be questioned. Either way, you are no longer flying under the radar. Aquarius strips away pretense and exposes structure. With Pallas here, you’re not lost in the spotlight. You’re analyzing the system you’ve climbed and deciding if it’s still worth it. Are you building something you believe in? Are you chasing success on your own terms, or someone else’s? The 10th house asks for integrity, and this Moon reveals where it stands. This could be a turning point. A job shift. A new direction. A public moment that carries weight. What matters most is not how it looks, but whether it reflects who you really are. Aquarius does not reward performance. It rewards alignment. You may be seen clearly now. Make sure you are showing something real.
11th House: The Full Moon in your 11th house puts the spotlight on the future you’ve been building. This is the house of goals, networks, communities, and ideals. Something becomes visible now about what you’re striving toward, who you’re walking with, or what no longer fits. You might realize a dream has expired. Or you might see, clearly and suddenly, where your energy belongs next. Aquarius rules this part of the chart, so this is a strong activation. And with Pallas conjunct, you are not just reacting. You are observing. The logic of your vision is being tested. Who supports it? Who drains it? Which connections are rooted in truth, and which were always temporary? This is not about being liked. It is about being aligned. The 11th house reminds you that not everyone goes where you are going. Some relationships have done their job. Others are just beginning to matter. Trust what clicks. Trust what falls off. The crowd you keep reflects the future you are building. Under this Moon, that picture becomes clear. And once it does, your place inside it changes too.
12th House: If this Full Moon lands in your 12th house, what’s being illuminated may not be immediately visible to the outside world, but it’s loud on the inside. The 12th house rules what’s hidden, forgotten, repressed, or quietly powerful. You might experience breakthroughs in your dreams, in your solitude, or in your intuition. Aquarius here pulls back the veil on your inner patterns, especially the ones you’ve outgrown. Full Moons in the 12th can feel like something surfacing from the deep, something you’ve been sensing but couldn’t name. Now it’s undeniable. And this one is conjunct Pallas, adding strategy, pattern recognition, and wisdom to the emotional pulse. Pallas in Aquarius sees the systems behind everything. When the Full Moon meets her here, it can bring crystal clarity about the mental or energetic architecture you’ve been unconsciously living within. You may suddenly understand why something keeps repeating, or exactly how to break out of it. This isn’t passive. It’s intelligence. It’s perception. It’s a private epiphany that changes the way you move, even if nobody else knows what just happened. That’s the soft spot in the middle of all this.
