The Full Sturgeon Moon peaked at 16°59 in Aquarius on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 3:55 AM.
Aquarius is represented by the water bearer and is influenced by both Saturn—symbolizing limitations—and Uranus, which represents sudden changes.
This month encourages us to bring structure to our chaotic ideas, merging our rebellious spirits with our ambitions.
The name of this full moon reflects a historical abundance of sturgeon fish caught during this season in North America’s Great Lakes. So, it links to themes of harvest, abundance, and the elements of water, flow, and the cycle of life, as noted by tarot reader Kelly Ward.
This full moon occurs during Leo season, forming a dynamic between individual expression and collective awareness. It’s an ideal time to reflect on your relationships, your trust, and your unique place in your community. So, are you in sync with those around you?
Ward offers insights for each Zodiac sign as they move through this illuminating period.

Ward describes water signs as emotional conduits for their surroundings—like a “group unicorn.” They tend to initiate unexpected shifts, and others often rely on them for that touch of creativity that breaks the monotony of daily life.
“People look to you for the unexpected; they crave the break from life’s stiffness and grayness.”
