Next Friday, August 9, the Moon will reach its brightest point in the sign of Aquarius, bringing a wave of energy that invites breaking with the old and making room for what is genuine. In addition to its astrological intensity, this lunation carries a name full of ancestral symbolism: it is called the Sturgeon Moon.
This name, originating in the indigenous cultures of the northern hemisphere, refers to the time of year when this large fish was easier to catch. The sturgeon, ancient, resilient, and deep, represents wisdom that emerges after a process of immersion. Thus, this Moon calls us to bring up from the depths what no longer serves, to give thanks for what we have learned, and to clear space for new ways of being.

A Moon in Aquarius: the collective and the disruptive
In astrological terms, this full Moon occurs at the 9th degree of Aquarius, a sign linked to paradigm shifts, innovation, collective intelligence, and freedom. The August sky invites breaking obsolete structures, speaking from authenticity, and creating without asking for permission.
Astrologer Xio Colmenares, in her analysis for this lunation, speaks of a "creative combustion," an explosive mix between intense emotionality and a desire for transformation. "It's a Moon that accelerates processes of clarity and awakens the urge to change what we've been enduring in silence," she points out.
The impact on the signs: revolution with an expansive effect
Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio will be the most impacted signs, as they are involved in the fixed square.
Scorpio, in particular, could face tough revelations in the emotional realm, ideal for letting go of bonds or narratives that no longer sustain real love or mutual respect.
Aries and Sagittarius will feel energized to launch new creative projects.
Cancer and Pisces, meanwhile, could experience this Moon as an intuitive call to create from the heart.

A moment to choose from the truth
The atmosphere of this Moon is not "gentle," but it is deeply liberating. It is an opportunity for emotional cleansing, to cut ties with what is stagnant, and to embrace what is different. The key is not just to let go: it is to choose which version of yourself you want to inhabit from now on.
