The full moon in August 2025, also known as the Sturgeon Moon, will occur on Saturday, August 9th. The Sturgeon Moon is named after the large sturgeon fish and symbolizes the rewards of hard work and long-term effort. Spiritually, it signifies strength, resilience, and ancestral wisdom, encouraging connection with community and appreciating the skills of those around us. This moon, in the sign of Aquarius, will also highlight humanitarian ventures and encourage authenticity. The Lion’s Gate Portal enhances this energy, opening you to higher realms of consciousness and cosmic wisdom. It’s a time for deep transformation, where you can harness the energy of past efforts for future growth.
All through the month of August 2025, we will feel the rumblings of change and upheaval which are getting ready to take hold as we move into Eclipse Season.
If we are paying attention, the first week of August will give us a little preview as to what themes the Eclipses will bring. The messages will be subtle, but will likely start to become louder as we approach the Virgo New Moon on August 23rd. Although not an Eclipse itself, this New Moon is our official entry point into Eclipse Season, with a Blood Moon Eclipse to follow on September 7.
To make the most of the energies this month, we are invited to supercharge our energy field on August 8, as we welcome the Lion’s Gate Portal, and then again on August 22, as we experience another powerful stargate portal between the Sun and Regulus, the Heart of the Lion. Regulus is associated with prosperity and fortune, so soak in these vibrations and use them to supercharge the flow of abundance into your life!
As we shift out of Leo Season into Virgo Season on August 22, we will also feel much better prepared for the strong winds of change that are about to arrive. Virgo Season will help us to ground our energy and create some structure and routine amidst any of the chaos that may be happening.
Here’s a breakdown of the spiritual significance:
- Abundance and Perseverance:
The Sturgeon Moon is named after the large sturgeon fish and symbolizes the rewards of hard work and long-term effort. It’s a time to reflect on what you’ve cultivated and harvested, both materially and spiritually.

And as always, place your moon money (a silver coin) out where the moon can shine on it the most for a full week to bring unexpected prosperity!
