The Significance of August’s Full Moon
August’s full moon, which falls mid-month, is believed by astrologers to have a profound impact on our inner selves. According to astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim, this full moon serves as a powerful reminder that we are loved and cared for, leaving a lasting impression on our souls.
What Makes This Full Moon Special?
Every full moon brings hidden aspects of the subconscious to light, but this one—known as the Sturgeon Moon—is thought to be especially revealing. During this extraordinary full moon, the planets Jupiter and Venus align in the sign of Cancer, creating an energy that encourages people to find stability and support within themselves, their families, or close-knit friend groups.
Timing and Impact of the Full Moon
The full moon reached its peak early on Saturday, August 9, at 3:55 a.m. ET. It is said to influence certain zodiac signs more intensely, triggering major emotional and personal developments.
Zodiac Signs Most Affected by the Full Moon
Astrologer Grim highlights that the following signs will experience significant effects during the full moon:
Taurus (April 20–May 20): You may become highly visible in your role at work, home, or public life and possibly complete a draining task.
Leo (July 23–Aug. 22): Hidden aspects in your one-on-one relationships are likely to come to light.
Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): An informal romantic relationship might either end or blossom into something deeply emotional.
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): You could open up more to family, relocate, or make changes at home that shift your domestic energy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): With the moon in your sign, your emotions will be visible, potentially leading to endings, including relationships.
Grim also notes that Scorpios and Tauruses may be reconnecting with family members after a period apart.
How to Harness the Energy of the Full Moon
During this full moon, it is recommended to connect with those around you and share creative, unconventional ideas. Engaging in collaborative brainstorming can help generate new visions and empower people to realize their potential to create meaningful change in the world.
