The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9 is a cosmic lightbulb moment because of the sign’s progressive, rebellious, and inventive energy — so expect something to click into place, bringing a much-needed breakthrough.
Full Moons always bring clarity, insight, and useful self awareness, so embrace this phase of the month.
Actively journal, meditate, reflect and discuss things you’ve been mentally incubating, questioning, or researching for some time. The moment of inspiration you’ve been waiting for will emerge.
It’s time to ask the tarot cards what breakthrough is trying to happen for you now — and how you can support it. But if you want to know more, then a truthful, direct tarot reading with me will provide you with a detailed analysis in 24 hours.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Seven of Coins
Meaning: The theme here is evolution. Recognising what has altered in your realm, circumstances, and environment and matching that to a trait, habit, activity or commitment in your control that needs to change too.
Evolution is all about making it easier for you to survive and thrive. You can’t just carry on doing the same thing your whole life. This Full Moon will show you where change is needed (likely in places you’ve felt discomfort or like you’ve outgrown or no longer fitted in). Then it’s time to act – and life will get easier as a result.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Page of Cups
Meaning: A return to a childhood talent, friendship, place, role, or activity is just what is needed now, and maybe it was always meant to be this way – you just needed to reject your original self in order to discover its true value!
We all go on meandering pathways through our growth and adulthood… often only to find ourselves returning ‘home’ in some way. And this is a moment for you. This is a phase where you realise you had what you most wanted all along, and you’ve just got to acknowledge and embrace that again. A wonderful discovery.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for the Full Moon in Aquarius: King of Wands
Meaning: It’s all about purpose. You are a super busy person, always on the go, always up to something… but some of this is pure distraction, escapism, and exists for the sake of it, to avoid being ‘still’. Enough. Because it’s exhausting, right?
Realign yourself, your schedule, and your priorities to patch up to true goals and ambitions in your life. Less is more. Focus is everything. Know consciously why you’re choosing to do things and give them your all in the moment instead of rushing to get to ‘the next thing’. This is a game changer!

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Temperance
Meaning: You need calmness, stability, certainty. Yes, life is rarely like that – but you need to build those traits and energies within yourself so that, whatever the external circumstances, you have a sanctuary and safe space in your mind to retreat to when you need to figure stuff out.
When you’re not calm inside, you can’t do this. So practice meditation, mindful activity, deep breathing, visualisation and physical relaxation to find stillness and clarity within. Build your inner fortress and you can then handle anything.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Six of Coins
Meaning: Quid pro quo. Give and take. Good karma. What goes around comes around. It’s no good being the ‘giver’ all of the time, and no one survives or thrives for long when all they do is ‘take’ either. Balance is needed.
Apply this theory to your inner circle relationships and notice where the balance is off. Who is taking more than giving, and vice versa? Then seek, this Full Moon, to correct those balances, change your actions accordingly, and force the dynamic to recalibrate. It will! And you will be left with stronger, healthier relationship bonds, on which you can rely and lean.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Nine of Swords
Meaning: You are tired of carrying so much pent-up, suppressed anxiety and dread. It’s tiring, and draining, and making you ill. So, what should you do? Speak up, express yourself, unleash your emotions, journal, mirror talk, ask for advice.
You are not alone. Everyone feels these heavy emotions, and everyone worries, obsesses, and overthinks. Acknowledge this part of you and talk about it. Every word uttered will turn the pressure valve back down to ‘normal’ and stop the overload building up. You need to decompress, express, and release. Talk non-stop, for three days at the very least! Get it all out.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Knight of Coins
Meaning: You start to believe in yourself and that what you’re doing might be successful – but it’s all down to you and your powers. It’s intoxicating. You feel liberated and powerful, you feel like you can do whatever you put your mind and efforts into!
The Knight of Coins makes you want to go even harder, faster, bolder. Your goals matter. Your investments accumulate. Your experience builds. Everything gets easier the more you do it, so the more you do then the more you can do. It all seems so simple. Work hard on what matters and get the rewards you want. This formula unlocks a new schedule and to-do list which, trust me, will work wonders! Get to it, Libra, this is your power era.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Three of Swords
Meaning: You don’t have to carry on pretending. You don’t owe anyone anything. If they have hurt you then they have broken their end of the ‘deal’ and you can withdraw likewise. In fact, you must. When respect is no longer served, then get up from that table and leave.
This Full Moon, you see clearly where you’re still being pained and mistreated and you realise it won’t stop until you end it yourself by severing ties. It’s simple, it’s obvious. And you find the courage, resolution, and ruthlessness to do it. You won’t look back – I promise. There are people, places, and things no longer deserving of your time and energy.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Three of Cups
Meaning: Why do you deny yourself a good time? You are ruled by Jupiter, the Zeus of the planets, the ruler of luck and fortune. You’re a powerful Fire sign, full of energy and pizazz. You are lucky and happy and always up for good times, and this is your true nature. So, don’t dim the lights for anyone!
You are at your best in the full flow of enjoyment, and that’s just natural. Don’t try and be something you’re not, just to not show other folk up. Be your glorious, technicolour, bright self, always aiming to enjoy your busy and active life. Everything falls into place when you do.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Ace of Cups
Meaning: You can see that forging new relationships is your quickest route to changing your options, energies, and potential future. It’s through other folk and their chemistry, ideas, inputs, and experiences that you learn fastest and gain the most. You have always been a resolutely solo player. But that era is ending.
You want to collaborate, join in, co-create, and align. You want an inner circle, a life partner, an alliance, a group to belong to. And that’s just human nature. Stop isolating and start integrating. Things will happen fast! New folk are on the immediate horizon.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for the Full Moon in Aquarius: The High Priestess
Meaning: Such a powerful time for you! And it will be defined by what rises up from within, vs what happens to you. Pay attention to your dreams, let your imagination wander, practice scrying or tarot or automatic writing, see a psychic, write a poem about something you find hard to express.
Something is bubbling up and going to emerge that will illuminate what you really want and even who you truly are. And it will lead to a direct decision or change, one that mirrors this new understanding of yourself and unlocks your potential! Everything is there, already waiting, just wanting you to notice it.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for the Full Moon in Aquarius: Death
Meaning: Major transformation ahead. Are you ready, Pisces? What shifts for you this Full Moon is a clue as to what the wider pattern of change will be, so notice little tweaks, adjustments, changes, movements. Notice, zoom in, and ask questions. Your deliberations and probings will reveal a broader, more deep-rooted desire for change that now is the time to act on.
All of this is coincidence and serendipity, leading you to the process of rebirth that is meant for you now. This is major unseen force work, and is all about reaching your fullest potential in 2025.
