Although August is a month of preparation ( Read more about August's astrological climate here .) This Full Moon in Aquarius—which occurs on August 9th at 16°59' —acts as an accelerator within that process. It clearly illuminates aspects that we may have maintained in our lives automatically, without questioning them or out of fear of what changing them would entail. It's a time for certain revelations and understandings to push us to rethink decisions, structures, or dynamics that limit our freedom and our vision for the future.
With this lunation, it becomes more evident where we've been following a path of inertia and where it's time to make adjustments. The fact that it occurs in Aquarius reminds us that updating our way of thinking and acting is not only personally beneficial , but also impacts how we contribute to the group, the community, and the spaces we share.
The elements that define it are:
- It occurs in conjunction with the fixed star Rotanev (16°42').
- It takes place in lunar mansion number 25.
- The Sun and the Moon will be in duet .
- Mercury will be stationary.
- Mars will be in exact opposition to Saturn and Neptune retrograde (1°) .
This Full Moon will affect us all, but Its impact will be greater if you have planets or angles between 14°- 18° of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius).
Full Moon in Aquarius, August 9, 2025. Software: LUNA
Full Moon: Culmination, Zenith and Revelation
In the lunar cycle, the Full Moon represents the point of maximum illumination: the moment when the Sun and Moon are in exact opposition, and sunlight falls entirely on the visible face of the Moon. This configuration not only marks the zenith of the lunar month , but also symbolically expresses the principle of revelation , of visibility, of culmination. As Dane Rudhyar points out in The Lunation Cycle , it is at this phase that the process begun at the New Moon reaches its full development, and where the results—favorable or not—can no longer be avoided. The Moon reflects all the light it can receive; and in the same way, consciousness reflects everything that is ready to be seen .
From a symbolic perspective, the full moon has traditionally been associated with fertility and visibility, but also with instability : it is the moment when energy reaches its highest point before beginning to decline. In many cultures, it is considered a liminal phase, in which portals open, hidden tensions manifest, and a process is completed, which then begins to dissolve. The symbolism is clear: everything that reaches its maximum expression inevitably begins to diminish . That is why full moons, in astrology, are not simply "moments of light," but rather instants where clarity can be overwhelming—because it reveals what can no longer be hidden. Astrologically, this is the point of maximum friction between the conscious (Sun) and the unconscious (Moon), which often translates into internal conflict, overwhelming emotions, or necessary ruptures.
In practical terms, full moons tend to accelerate processes, expose truths, precipitate decisions, or reveal dynamics that have been quietly brewing . And while they can be uncomfortable, they are also profoundly useful: without this phase of total light, we wouldn't be able to clearly recognize which part of the cycle needs to close so that something new can begin.
Aquarius: The Vision of What Has Not Yet Happened
This time, the closing ceremony takes place in Aquarius, the last of the three air signs. Its fixed quality gives it coherence, firmness of ideas, and a remarkable ability to maintain a vision even when it challenges the established order. Aquarian energy looks forward: it thinks about the future, about what doesn't yet exist, about what could redefine the rules of the game.
Air , as an element, is linked to thought, exchange, and the networks that connect people . In Aquarius, this air behaves like an electric current: It not only transmits information, but also charges it with enough energy to generate change. And this isn't just an analogy, as Aquarius governs currents of all kinds: air currents that shift climates, electrical currents that ignite systems, and currents of thought that reorganize consensus. Aquarian energy is creative, but in a technical and conceptual sense; it combines logic with originality to open paths that others have yet to explore. At its best, Aquarius is a visionary, innovative sign, and acts guided by clear principles that transcend individual interest.
At the collective level, Aquarius organizes and energizes currents : social movements, community networks, schools of thought, cultural trends, electrical and digital infrastructures. Furthermore, Aquarius governs social networks—in the broadest sense— communities, affinity groups, social movements, horizontally functioning systems . It is also linked to science, technology, innovation, and everything that drives leaps that change the course of history. When this energy is activated, abrupt changes often appear, questioning the current order, and the need to update obsolete structures. It is a sign that connects with revolutions—not always noisy ones—and with the transformations that arise when a group of people come together to change the rules.
On a personal level, Aquarius confronts us with our ability to break away from the norm and see the landscape from a different perspective. It invites us to identify which networks we're part of and how we connect with them (not to fit in, but to contribute something unique that serves the group ). It can also highlight the discomfort of feeling out of place or that our ideas don't mesh with those of our surroundings. But the Aquarian proposal isn't to adapt, but to find the space where our differences become a contribution. From Aquarius's logic, true change requires patience, persistence, and responsibility . And it always starts with an idea that someone dared to defend when it still seemed like science fiction.
Conjunction with Fixed Star Rotanev (16°): Intelligence, Strategy
This lunation occurs in exact conjunction with Rotanev , the second brightest star in the constellation of Delphinus , the Dolphin. The name “Rotanev” does not come from classical antiquity, but from the 19th century: it is a mirror-image of the signature of the astronomer Niccolò Cacciatore —whose surname in Italian means “hunter”—Latinized as Nicolaus Venator ( Venator also means “hunter” in Latin) and written backwards: Sualocin (Nicolaus) and Rotanev ( Venator ). Cacciatore, successor to Giuseppe Piazzi at the Palermo Observatory (Sicily), included the name in his star catalog, an unusual gesture at a time when most stars retained Arabic or Greco-Latin names inherited from medieval tradition.
Delphinus is a small constellation but loaded with symbols: the dolphin that persuades Amphitrite to agree to marry Poseidon, and the one that saves the poet Arion from the sea. Hence its association with cunning , timely intervention , and the intelligence to read the currents and navigate them . In astrological tradition, Ptolemy assigns Delphinus a Saturn-Mars nature; modern authors qualify that its brightest stars—Rotanev and Sualocin—act with a Mercury-Jupiter tone (quick wit, persuasion, strategic orientation). The combination explains well the image of the hunter: cold calculation (Saturn), tactical drive (Mars), and, at the same time, intelligent reading of the environment and effective communication (Mercury-Jupiter).
So, the conjunction of this Full Moon with Rotanev tells us that the culmination associated with this lunation is associated with strategic intelligence and a hunting instinct : detecting the right prey (the target), choosing the right moment, and taking advantage of the dominant current —social or thought—to go further with the least expenditure of energy. In collective contexts , it empowers coordinated movements, functional alliances, and system updates; on a personal level , it calls for perspicacity : observing signals, adjusting tactics, and communicating precisely to produce a real effect.
Lunar Mansion 25: Sa'd al-Akhbiya – The Luck of the Hidden Shops
(Don't know what lunar mansions are? Read the full guide here .)
This Full Moon falls within Lunar Mansion 25, known in Arabic tradition as Sa'd al-Akhbiya , whose name can be translated as the fortune of hidden tents or the fortune of shelters . This mansion extends from 8°34' to 21°26' Aquarius and is associated with everything that is saved, protected, or kept secret until the opportune moment . The image of the "tents" refers to covered camps, warehouses, or storage places that safeguard strategic resources.
Sa'd al-Akhbiya represents a period in which the wisest course of action is not to expose oneself, but to prepare the ground . Its energy is directed toward private planning, gathering information, strengthening resources, and plotting alternative routes before acting. This is the phase in which what will later drive visible movements is constructed. Here, discretion is nothing more than a form of protection: what is still in development must be protected from external influences that could weaken it.
In its least constructive expression, this mansion can manifest as excessive secrecy, unproductive isolation, or an accumulation of plans that never materialize. It can also reflect a tendency toward excessive distrust, shutting out even those who might contribute.
At the collective level , Sa'd al-Akhbiya is associated with pacts or alliances that are forged out of the public eye , strategic negotiations, and plans that are quietly prepared before being made public. It can also signal periods when invisible networks—working groups, organized movements, discrete communities—weave the structure that will later produce visible change.
On a personal level , this mansion invites us to evaluate which projects, ideas, or connections need to mature in a protected space before being exposed. It reminds us that knowing when and how to open something up to the world can be as decisive as the work behind it. It also confronts us with our inner reserves: are we hoarding out of fear of losing, or because we know the time to use those resources has not yet arrived? The strength of this mansion lies in the silent strategy that precedes visible action.
Sun and Moon Duet: Pending Balance
On the other hand, this Full Moon is in a configuration called a duet : two planets that form a major aspect with each other, but no further major aspects with other planets in the sky. When this occurs, the energies involved are isolated from the rest of the chart, concentrating considerable force that, without a clear channel of integration, can manifest itself abruptly or intensely, but also insecurely. It's as if tension were accumulating in a closed circuit, with no outlets; therefore, what emerges can do so suddenly, with overflowing emotions or reactions that seem difficult to contain. Without a "brake" or a planet to modulate, the dynamic becomes more direct and, at times, more extreme. In this case, the duet is composed of an opposition that connects the Sun and the Moon. —Rotanev doesn't count because it's not a planet.
When a duet appears, it indicates that the themes linked to those planets have been on the back burner or in the background for quite some time (months, even years), waiting for a moment to emerge. In this case, the Sun and Moon simultaneously activate the energies of Leo and Aquarius , highlighting the tension between individual expression and belonging to a collective.
At the collective level, the Sun symbolizes figures of power—rulers, leaders, visible authorities—while the Moon represents the people, the social base, the emotional response of the community. A duet in these terms can reflect a turning point in the relationship between power and the people , generating situations of confrontation or sudden visibility.
On a personal level, the Sun embodies the creative impulse, consciousness, and the projection of our will, while the Moon reflects the emotional world, the unconscious, instinctive needs, and the sense of security. A duet between the two can generate clear internal clashes with the goal of integrating postponed energy : wanting to move toward a goal and, at the same time, feeling an emotional resistance that holds us back; needing to express something and, at the same time, feeling fearful of the consequences; seeking recognition and, at the same time, yearning to hide. In this case, with the Moon in Aquarius, we must remember that of the entire zodiac, this sign is the one most prone to being detached and impartial—in a good way. The most effective way to modulate these tensions, then, is to apply positive detachment: observe your own reactions without getting caught up in them, step back to evaluate whether the response stems from a real need or a momentary impulse, and accept that both forces—the will to create and the need to protect ourselves—can coexist. From an Aquarian perspective, integrating these extremes involves observing them with a clear mind and treating them as parts of the same system: not eliminating one to favor the other, but giving them a balanced space within one's personal strategy (and above all , not over-identifying with any of them ).
Stationary Mercury: Missing Information Appears
Another element we should pay attention to during this Full Moon is Mercury. It is stationary in Leo , closing its retrograde phase and about to return to direct phase in two days (August 11). A stationary planet concentrates its energy and acts with more force than in normal motion, so information, conversations, and communication in general take center stage here. Let's hope that everything Mercury rules —messages, information, data, ideas— gains weight and relevance during these days.
With Mercury stationary in Leo , exchanges may have a more dramatic or personal tone than usual . Here it is more sensible Avoid responding from a place of urgency or vanity, and take advantage of the pause to fine-tune what we want to say and how we want to say it. It's very, very likely that during these days, important information will come to light , revelations that change the context of a situation, or messages that, due to their timing, have a greater impact than expected.
On a collective level , stationary Mercury in Leo can coincide with important secrets being exposed , speeches carefully measured before being delivered, and negotiations whose resolution is kept secret until the exact moment to generate the greatest effect on the population is found.
On a personal level, this position emphasizes the need to think and communicate clearly, avoiding impulsive reactions. It's a good time to fine-tune an important message, review agreements, and pay attention to any unexpected information: it could contain the missing piece to understanding the whole picture.
Mars Opposition Saturn RX and Neptune RX: Confrontation and Collapse of Expectations
Simultaneously with this lunation, an exact opposition forms between Mars in Libra and Saturn retrograde, along with Neptune retrograde in Aries . This is a particularly tense configuration for several reasons: Mars is in detriment in Libra, a sign that requires negotiation and restraint; Saturn, in turn, is in fall in Aries, where its structure is weakened by impulsiveness. Furthermore, Mars is the natural ruler of Aries , so it acts as the disposing ruler of Saturn and Neptune in this opposition, centralizing the tension of the aspect.
To be honest, this is one of the most demanding transits of the second half of the year. On a global level , it can translate into open confrontations (but they resolve little), hardening of positions, and escalating tensions between key players on the international scene. It can also bring the dissolution of strategic alliances, objectives that ultimately prove unviable, or the collapse of projects that seemed solid but were nothing more than houses of cards and idealizations . Neptune, in this position, accentuates the risk of confusion, misinterpretation, and loss of direction, especially when trying to move forward without a firm foundation.
On a personal level , we'll likely experience this opposition as a clash between the need to act and the weight of limitations (internal or external). Our goals may require drastic adjustments, or even the abandonment of certain plans that are no longer viable. This is a time when clarity and honesty are essential to avoid wasting energy on useless battles or dragging along illusions that have already shown considerable cracks. Likewise, the confusion between reality (Saturn) and fantasy (Neptune) can be strong : what if reality is what Neptune shows us and Saturn is merely a shell that clouds it?
Corresponding Sabian Symbol: Aquarius 17, "A Guard Dog Standing Guard."
(Don't know what Sabian symbols are? Read the full guide here .)
This Full Moon occurs at 16° Aquarius, whose corresponding Sabian symbol is Aquarius 17: “A guard dog standing guard.” The dog, as a symbol, has been associated since the beginning of time with loyalty, protection, and service . It represents the instinct to remain faithful to something or someone, to watch over their safety, to remain vigilant. But we know that a dog’s loyalty can also be blind : it can involve unquestioning following, a devotion that even sacrifices its own health, or a commitment to protecting something even when it doesn’t understand its meaning. In real life, most often the image of the dog standing guard is about safeguarding something that belongs to someone else, maintaining the order or integrity of a space, an idea, or a structure that another holds dear.
In a positive sense, this symbol relates to the role of protecting what maintains social cohesion. It represents the conscious vigilance that ensures a common effort isn't diluted by individual interests or by the temptation to disrupt collective work to satisfy a need for prominence. It can also speak of safeguarding a vision of the future, an idea, or a modernization plan—very much in keeping with Aquarius—from that which attempts to hinder its development. Here, the guard is to safeguard a process that requires perseverance and shared commitment. It means protecting the group from deviations that distance it from its goal: from those who seek to appropriate a common achievement as if it were personal, to those who insist on maintaining obsolete structures out of nostalgia or resistance to change.
In its negative sense, this symbol describes how certain social, political, or economic structures keep people "standing guard" over a freedom or well-being that, in reality, belongs to others. It is the loyalty imposed on a system that restores neither dignity nor balance. A clear example is seen in contexts where wages are insufficient for a decent life (the wealth produced by workers goes to senior managers, who receive salaries up to 300 times higher) and force people to work longer hours, leaving them without the time or energy to train, create, or question the model in which they are embedded. In this case, the guard dog symbolizes the function of preserving this unequal order, of perpetuating a model that maintains subservience and prevents the development of the capacities that would allow for real change.
The Full Moon in this symbol poses a somewhat uncomfortable question: to what or to whom are we being loyal? Are we protecting something that strengthens the future and common dignity, or are we simply sacrificing ourselves for a system that demands vigilance and dedication without giving us real access to what we are guarding? Guarding, in its highest sense, involves consciously choosing what truly deserves to be defended.
Questions to Reflect On:
1. In what situation do you need to take a more detached stance to see clearly?
Taking distance can reveal the true scope of a situation and allow us to decide without being tied to the outcome.
2. What goal requires a real strategy from you—not just intention?
An idea without a clear plan fizzles out. Consider what resources you have, what obstacles you anticipate, and what the most effective order of action is to move forward without getting distracted.
3. What comes to mind when you think of the concept of “current”?
It may evoke the classic phrase "go with the flow," joining a shared movement, people connected by a common purpose, or even something that pulls you along without giving you a choice. Perhaps you associate it with collective creativity, with impractical and dreamy people, or with a force that threatens to deviate from your path. Observe what images and sensations it generates for you and where you stand in relation to them.
4. What issue do you need to act on now to prevent an illusion from continuing?
There are times when continuing to wait only prolongs a situation that has already proven to be a dead end. Recognizing that point is what allows you to redirect your energy toward something viable.
5. Where are you exercising blind loyalty or avoiding seeing something that requires your attention?
Loyalty can be a value or a trap, depending on where it's directed. Ask yourself if you're defending something that deserves your presence or preserving a model that only robs you of your freedom.
6. What deserves protection so that a common project can move forward, and what needs reform so that it doesn't become immobilized?
Maintaining cohesion means distinguishing between what truly strengthens the group and what, under the guise of protecting it, actually stagnates it. This applies to your personal life, but also to your view of the politicians who make decisions around you.
7. What emotional needs or memories from the past that had been postponed are now coming to light?
Sometimes what wasn't addressed at the time returns with a vengeance, reminding us that ignoring it doesn't make it go away. Recognizing it is the first step to giving it the space it deserves.
This Full Moon is the Right Time to:
• Be intentional with communication.
Cut through the noise and information overload (e.g., having 10 browser tabs open), and pay attention to the missing information that could appear now. Listen carefully: a seemingly minor piece of information can change the meaning of a conversation or a decision.
• Observe what limitations are being revealed in your goals.
Recognizing an obstacle in time allows you to redesign your route (or find a new one) instead of wasting energy on a path that has no future.
• Feel your emotions, but with distance.
Getting involved doesn't mean getting stuck. Perspective can help you respond with clarity rather than reacting from a place of urgency.
• Rethink alliances and agreements from a constructive perspective.
Identify whether the connections you maintain are helping both parties move forward or simply maintaining a dynamic that no longer makes sense. An honest conversation can redefine cooperation.
• Take off your blindfold regarding certain ways in which society works.
Question what you take for granted. Ask yourself if the way you spend your time, energy, and resources reflects your values or a pattern you never consciously chose.
• Stay alert to the messages you receive from your surroundings.
Advertising, social media, political speeches, and campaigns always seek to shape and manipulate the perceptions and habits of the masses. Ask yourself what the intention is (for example, to get you to buy things you don't need; to polarize the population so there's no cohesion within it and thus dilute its power; to foster fear) and whether it aligns with your real interests.
• Free yourself from the burden of seeking validation in something that has no basis in your life.
Sometimes the desire to be recognized in a space or by certain people only perpetuates a situation that doesn't benefit you. Letting go of that need allows you to invest energy in what truly resonates with you.
What Culminations Can You Expect in the House of Your Birth Chart Where This Lunation Falls?
Here are some possible culminations, revelations or processes of Innovation and a change of perspective depending on the life area activated in your birth chart. Find out which house the 16°59' Aquarius falls in to understand how this Full Moon can influence your personal process. Remember that it's not always about observing external events, but also about identifying which part of you is receiving a push to rethink, adjust, or consolidate something important.
(Need help finding 16°59' Aquarius? Read this step-by-step guide here .)
House 1: Beginnings, Identity and Personal Appearance
This Full Moon can act as a point of revelation about who you are today and the image you project. There are aspects of your presentation that could be clearly exposed, especially if they've become outdated or have never really fit with who you truly are. It's a time to ask yourself if the version of yourself you present is the one that truly represents you , or if you've been cultivating an identity out of habit, fear, or convenience.
A feeling of internal tension is likely to arise: on the one hand, the urge to reveal yourself as you are, with your ideas and proposals; on the other, the need to protect yourself from environments or people who don't contribute to your process. Balance is key here: it's not about shutting yourself away or exposing yourself without a filter, but rather about consciously choosing when to speak, what to show, and with what intention.
This lunation can also bring to the surface emotions or needs you've put on hold, so you can process them and lift some weight off your shoulders. You may discover that certain loyalties—to people, groups, or dynamics—have led you to act in ways that no longer feel natural to you. Recognizing this isn't betraying you; it's reclaiming your ability to decide what you want to participate in and what you don't.
Even if you're not a public figure, your way of thinking and positioning yourself has an impact on your surroundings . This is a time to more precisely define how, through your identity and your choices, you contribute to broader change. Updating yourself not only benefits you personally: it also contributes to the group and community you're part of updating you.
House 2: Self-esteem, Values, Sense of Stability, Finances
This Full Moon can clearly show what you're basing your personal security on and what no longer makes sense to defend. You may discover that part of your current stability rests on structures or habits that have served their purpose, or that depend on agreements and relationships that aren't serving you as well as they once did. It can also expose inconsistencies between what you value and what you're prioritizing in practice.
It's a time that invites you to examine where you get your sense of security : whether it comes from your own judgment and resources, or whether it's too tied to external validation or inherited patterns. It can feel like a confrontation with old beliefs about money, work, or worthiness, and lead to decisions that, while they may involve stepping out of your comfort zone, bring you closer to what you truly consider valuable.
This lunation can also reveal financial arrangements or consumption patterns that have kept you in a pattern you didn't consciously choose . It's not always about cutting them off, but rather about stopping those things that perpetuate an unnecessary dependency or go against your vision of the future.
It's a good time to ask yourself if the way you manage resources—not just material resources, but also time and energy—reflects the person you are today. Remember that your individual contribution, even in seemingly small decisions, is part of a larger movement: by aligning your values with your actions, you are also helping the environment function more coherently.
House 3: Communication and Learning
This Full Moon can put the spotlight on how you communicate and what information you're handling . It's a time when it's best to observe more than speak before reacting or making decisions. Perhaps information will emerge that completes a story, messages that change the meaning of a situation, or conversations that reveal hidden intentions.
It's also an invitation to fine-tune the way you express your ideas ; it's time to choose your words and timing wisely. Listening carefully and asking precise questions can avoid misunderstandings and help you detect the difference between what someone says and what they really want to convey.
In the area of learning, this energy can show you what knowledge you need to strengthen or update to advance a project. This could be practical skills, tools for your job, or even information that helps you better understand your environment.
The key is not to rush or rush ahead blindly. Clear communication and attentive reception of information are your best allies now. What you decide to say or do during this period may have a greater impact than usual, so make sure it's backed up by facts and not just impressions.
House 4: Home, Past and Family
This Full Moon can trigger issues related to your family life, your personal space, and your emotional foundations . Tensions or situations that stir up intense emotions may arise, especially if they touch on past memories or old family dynamics you thought you had overcome.
The key now is not to react impulsively . Before making important decisions about your home, your close relationships, or your place of residence, it's best to observe calmly and assess the long-term consequences . A hasty reaction could close doors or create conflicts that would be difficult to repair later.
This is a time that favors strategy over immediacy : choose the right moment to speak, give emotions time to settle, and consider all factors before acting. Even in the midst of tension, a pause can be your best tool for finding a constructive outlet.
It's also an opportunity to redefine what emotional security means to you . Perhaps it means setting clearer boundaries at home, reorganizing agreements with loved ones, or rethinking how you want your support base to be in the future. Acting from a place of reflection, rather than urgency, will ensure that the changes you implement now will be sustained over time.
House 5: Children, Creativity, Romance and Pleasure
This Full Moon can shed light on how you relate to what you enjoy : your hobbies, your love life, your creative projects, and, in some cases, your relationship with your children, if you have any. It can show you which activities or relationships are truly fulfilling and which have become an empty routine or a constant search for external validation.
Creatively, this is a time to rethink the direction of what you're building . You may discover that an idea or project needs adjustments to better align with your long-term vision. This also applies emotionally: a bond may require greater authenticity and less dependence on mutual approval to grow healthily.
In the realm of pleasure, this energy invites you to ask yourself if what you're seeking truly brings you well-being or if it's just a momentary escape. Perhaps it's time to differentiate between what fulfills you and what merely takes up your time .
The key is to choose from a place of clarity, not urgency . Investing your energy in what truly excites you not only renews your personal motivation, but can also inspire those around you. Sometimes, your enjoyment and creativity are the incentive others need to dare to do the same.
House 6: Health, Connection with the Body and Daily Routines
This Full Moon can clearly point out which habits, routines, and work systems no longer meet your current needs. It can show you where your energy is leaking, which commitments aren't adding up, and which tasks or responsibilities need restructuring. The 6th House speaks to the details that structure your daily life, and this energy focuses on whether those foundations are still efficient or need updating.
If your Ascendant is in Virgo , the impact may be even more pronounced : the planet that rules your birth chart is Mercury , and being stationary, it is experiencing a moment of unusual strength. This can translate into greater clarity in detecting what isn't working and a special sensitivity to perceive imbalances in your organization, your health, or your work environment. This lucidity, when used well, can help you introduce strategic changes that will last. Stay alert to information that may appear now that completes the picture.
In health, this energy encourages listening and interpreting your body's signals before they become emergencies. It may be time to adjust your diet, improve your rest routines, or rethink how you allocate your time between obligations and self-care. At work, it's an invitation to fine-tune processes, eliminate what generates unnecessary noise, and prioritize what truly adds value to you and those you serve .
The key lies in strategy, not impulsive reaction. Acting now with order, discernment, and a sense of purpose not only improves your well-being but also strengthens your ability to make changes that elevate your quality of life and productivity without sacrificing your personal balance.
House 7: One-to-One Relationships
This Full Moon can put a spotlight on your closest relationships, from romantic partners to professional partnerships or bonds where there's constant back-and-forth (including adversaries). It can clearly show where there's genuine cooperation and where you're holding onto agreements that no longer work .
It's a time to evaluate whether the way you relate to others reflects who you are now or whether it's still tied to blind loyalties, other people's expectations, or dynamics that limit your freedom. Please don't let this mean cutting things off impulsively, but rather paying close attention to the signs : a change in communication, a gesture that reveals intentions you weren't aware of before, a difference in goals that can no longer be ignored.
This lunation favors rethinking agreements with a constructive intention , seeking common ground without losing your own perspective. In some cases, it will be time to renegotiate terms so the relationship can evolve; in others, it will be time to recognize that continuing to force a connection only wears down both parties.
The key lies in positive detachment : being able to view the relationship with enough distance to decide without carrying resentment or idealizations. Remember that taking care of your place in the relationship also helps the other person occupy theirs more authentically . And that, in the long run, the alliances that truly add up are those in which both parties grow together.
House 8: Transformation, Grief, Debts, and Shared Resources
This Full Moon can mark the end of one phase and the beginning of another in matters related to resources you share with others: inheritances, joint assets, investments, or joint financial responsibilities. You may finalize an agreement, reorganize the way you manage something together, or put new rules in writing to avoid conflicts.
In terms of transformations, these can be irreversible changes : the definitive closure of a business, the sale of a property, the dissolution of a partnership, or the completion of a project involving more than one person. These situations can stir up intense emotions, but they also free up space and energy for something new with a clearer foundation.
As for grief, it can be tangible , such as selling a home where we started our family or the final separation from someone close, or symbolic , such as leaving behind a role, status, or life stage (for example, entering andropause/menopause). In both cases, the process involves accepting that something is no longer available so you can focus on what's next.
The key is not to act impulsively or give in to pressure . This is the time to reorganize, close what needs to be closed, and protect your future stability with transparent agreements. What is being transformed now can open the door to a more solid stage aligned with what you truly want to build in the long term.
House 9: Expansion and Philosophy of Life
This Full Moon can mark a point of clarity about what principles and beliefs are guiding your decisions . You may find that certain ideas that once served as a frame of reference now feel limiting, or that you need to integrate new perspectives to continue growing. Expansion here is not only physical—through travel or experiences—but also intellectual and spiritual, in the way you interpret the world and your place in it.
If your Ascendant is in Gemini, the impact could be particularly intense: the planet that rules your birth chart is Mercury , and being stationary, it's experiencing a moment of unusual strength. This can sharpen your powers of observation and analysis, helping you detect inconsistencies in your way of thinking and reorganize your ideas with greater precision. The key will be to avoid acting or communicating immediately, and instead take the time to solidify the changes you truly want to make.
This energy may prompt you to rethink your life philosophy : what values you prioritize, what you understand by freedom, and what role education, knowledge, and direct experience play in your development and that of others. You may feel the need to explore new schools of thought, study something that broadens your outlook, or travel to open yourself up to different realities.
The key now is to take a step toward a broader understanding of your life, not just accumulating information or experiences. The changes you make at this stage should be consistent with the direction you want your personal growth and your way of relating to the world to take.
House 10: Career, Ambitions, Reputation, Vision of Success
This Full Moon may signal a turning point in your professional career or in the way you want to present yourself publicly . Perhaps revelations will arise about the viability of certain projects or the type of authority figures you surround yourself with. This isn't the time to cling to a model that no longer reflects who you are today, but rather to fine-tune your strategy so that your progress is more conscious and aligned with your current vision.
During this period, it may become clearer which alliances and work structures support your development and which ones hinder it. Information may emerge that leads you to adjust goals, change priorities, or more precisely define what you want your "success" to look like.
Even if you don't hold a visible leadership position, the way you act and decide now influences your environment . This is a good time to recognize that your choices, even the most modest ones, can serve as an example and pave the way for others. The key is to act with a blend of strategy and authenticity: showing yourself to be consistent with the values you want to guide your contribution to the community.
House 11: Groups, Community, and Long-Term Goals
This Full Moon may mark a time of review of your ties to groups, teams, or communities , as well as your future goals. Tensions, differences of focus, or a need to redefine your role within a collective space may arise. It's a time to evaluate which relationships and projects contribute to your growth and which drain your energy or detract from what you truly want to build.
If your Ascendant is in Aries, Mars (the ruler of your birth chart) is in a position of weakness and under pressure, suggesting that acting rashly or reacting can have unnecessary consequences. The situation calls for caution, persistence, and the ability to remain calm while you clarify your next steps.
Even if you're not seeking a leading role, your way of relating and your contribution to a group can influence its direction . This is a time to ensure that your collective goals are aligned with your values and that your involvement has real meaning, transcending the inertia of commitments made at another time.
House 12: Spirituality, Subconscious, Closures, Privacy
This Full Moon can trigger closures that can no longer be postponed: ending a period, moving away from a dynamic that drains your energy, or clearly recognizing a subtly limiting influence. It can also reveal previously hidden realities that are now impossible to ignore, leading you to rethink your place and what responsibilities belong to you (and which don't).
If your Ascendant is in Pisces , Neptune (the modern ruler of your birth chart) is under pressure from tense aspects, which can bring about the collapse of certain idealizations or fantasies you've held. This isn't a failure: it's an opportunity to take greater responsibility for your own vision and begin building a new structure. This process will be completed in February 2026 , when Neptune makes an exact conjunction with Saturn.
Returning to the present, during this period, protecting your energy and maintaining periods of silence or voluntary retreat can help you reflect and reorganize your priorities. Often, real progress begins when we stop running away from what bothers us and confront it from a more mature and conscious perspective.
