Top Astronomy Events in August 2025
From planetary conjunctions to summer meteor showers, we’ll introduce you to the top astronomical events in August 2025.
The powerful full moon in August falls into the middle of the moon, and according to the astrologer, it may leave that mark in your soul.
“This full moon carries ample reminders that we are loved and that someone cares about us,” said astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grimm in a video posted on Instagram.
Everything about the Full Moon reveals what’s hidden in the subconscious, but this moon, also known as Sturgeon Moon, could become more revealing.
During this “special” full moon, Jupiter and Venus are aligned with signs of cancer, and the energy it creates allows people to settle in the support system they find within their own, their families, and/or close friends.
When is the full moon in August?
The full moon peaked at 3:55am ET on Saturday, August 9th.
Are you most affected by the full moon?
According to Grim, these signs face “undoubtedly a big effect” during the full moon.
- Taurus (April 20th to May 20th) – On weekends, whether you’re in the public eye, as a boss, as a parent, or in your career, you can be very prominent. Many Taurus can also complete tasks that have exhausted them over the past few weeks.
- Leo (July 23 to August 22) – The invisible dynamics of a one-to-one connection are revealed during the full moon.
- Libra (September 23 to October 22) – An unofficial romantic relationship can reach its end or become a “emotionally vibrant, romantic experience.”
- Scorpio (October 23rd to November 21st) – By embracing your heart, you may make great strides in opening up to your family. Or move or change how the energy in your home flows to move you into a new home life.
- Acryus (January 20th to February 18th) – Because there is a moon your Signs, your emotions will be displayed. When you release your feelings, it can happen at the end of “anything” including the relationship.
“By the way, Scorpio and Taurus have gone through some changes in their families,” Grimm said. “And maybe we’re reconnecting with certain families only after a while.”
What should you do during the full moon?
During this full moon, people need to interact with people around them and “share outdoor ideas and visions,” according to Grimm.
With brainstorming sessions, people can combine their thoughts and imagine the next big idea. They will also be able to see that they have the power to change the world.
