Full Moon in Aquarius 2025
A Bird’s Eye View of What’s Evolving
This Full Moon in Aquarius invites us to zoom out. Not to escape, but to gain perspective. After weeks of inner processing, Mercury retrograde detours, and quieter realizations, this lunation offers a clearer view of what’s been shifting. It’s not about sudden transformation it’s about noticing what’s already begun to change and how you want to move with it.
Aquarius is the sign of innovation, vision, and the collective. At 17 degrees, this Full Moon highlights the ways we’ve been redefining how we relate to each other—across communities, friendships, and shared ideals. It’s a time to celebrate progress, both internal and external. To ask: what have I revolutionized in my own life? What ways of thinking or being have I quietly outgrown?
And while Pluto isn’t conjunct this Full Moon, it is still in Aquarius and that presence colors the larger themes we’re sitting with. Pluto brings depth, transformation, and truth-telling. Its influence reminds us that what’s being illuminated now isn’t just about community or innovation on the surface. It’s about what needs to evolve at the root. What outdated systems, beliefs, or power dynamics are ready to be challenged? This full moon may highlight those questions—subtly or directly.
Sun & Mercury in Leo Oppose the Moon in Aquarius
With the Moon in Aquarius opposing the Sun and Mercury in Leo, there’s a clear message: individual growth means more when it contributes to something larger.
Leo wants you to shine your light, own your story, and speak from the heart. Aquarius gently reminds you that self-expression doesn’t have to be loud to matter and that being part of a community doesn’t mean losing your voice. This opposition asks: now that you’ve spent time reflecting inward, how will you show up outwardly? What role do you want to play in the collective over the next few months?
This Full Moon may also bring an emphasis on how we communicate. Mercury in Leo can be bold and expressive, but with the opposition to the Moon, we may need to soften how we share, or pay attention to how information is received by others. People may be more sensitive to tone, language, or messaging, especially in group settings.
Aquarius energy tends to be logical, focused on patterns and the bigger picture, but that zoomed-out lens can sometimes miss what’s right under our noses. It’s a good time to balance big ideas with attention to detail.
Full Moon in Aquarius 2025 Chart
Mars at the Center of a Kite Formation
One of the most unique features of this Full Moon chart is the kite formation, with Mars in Libra at its center. Kite patterns are rare and powerful—they form a natural outlet for focused, intentional growth.
With Mars (the planet of action, motivation, and drive), acting as the engine of this kite, there’s a clear push to do something. Not from a place of pressure or urgency, but from a grounded place of clarity.
Here’s how the kite supports this:
Mars trine Uranus in Gemini: Encourages new approaches and experimentation, especially in areas like communication, tech, or content creation. You may be drawn to think (and act) outside the box.
Mars trine Pluto in Aquarius: Adds intensity and depth to your actions. This is a great time to make strategic shifts, especially in your role within communities or collaborative projects.
Mars sextile Mercury in Leo: Helps you express your thoughts with confidence and thoughtfulness. If something needs to be said, this energy supports clarity without overexertion.
Mars opposing Saturn and Neptune in Aries: This adds tension but also realism. You may feel the pull between what you want and what’s actually sustainable. There’s nothing wrong with dreaming, but this opposition asks you to anchor those dreams in something tangible. Be honest about your limitations without shutting yourself down.
Altogether, this kite offers direction. It supports taking action on ideas that are both visionary and practical. It’s a helpful energy for building momentum in areas like creative work, collaborative projects, fitness, or any system that needs refining or reworking.
Mercury: Wrapping Up the Retrograde
Mercury, still retrograde but nearing its end, is active under this lunation and offers several supportive aspects:
Sextile Mars in Libra: Good for assertive yet tactful conversations. If a message got lost during the retrograde, this is a chance to try again.
Sextile Uranus in Gemini: Encourages innovation and quick thinking. New ideas may come in fast—capture them before they drift away.
Trine Neptune and Saturn in Aries: Invites us to bring structure to our visions. Creative inspiration is welcomed…but ask yourself: Does this fit into my long-term plan?
This is a great time to start sorting through the ideas and insights Mercury retrograde brought up. You don’t need to implement everything right away. Just begin to organize your thoughts and clarify what’s worth pursuing.
Questions to Reflect On
Where in my life do I need to zoom out and see the bigger picture?
What kind of people do I feel most like myself around?
Where am I giving too much energy out of obligation rather than alignment?
Have I outgrown a group, community, or mindset I once felt loyal to?
What dream or project needs a more grounded, sustainable approach?
Grounding Practices
You don’t need a full ritual to connect with this moon. A little space and intention go a long way.
Call or message someone you’ve been meaning to reconnect with.
Revisit your values—what still feels aligned, and what’s evolved?
Take a quiet walk, unplug from your phone, and reflect on how you’ve changed since the start of the year.
Journal about your vision for the next three months. Focus on how you want to move—not just what you want to achieve.

Pisces Rising
The 12th house of rest, release, and inner healing is illuminated for you. This may be a more reflective time—one that encourages solitude, spiritual practices, or simply letting go of what’s been weighing on your subconscious. Clarity comes in the quiet.
In Summary
This Full Moon in Aquarius is a chance to see clearly. To pause, zoom out, and consider what’s unfolding—not in some far-off future, but right now. You’ve been evolving behind the scenes. This moon simply offers you a mirror and a moment to witness that change.
With Pluto still in Aquarius and Mars driving a rare kite formation, the energy is potent but not overwhelming. There’s power in intentional action. In choosing community without losing self. In honoring both your clarity and your curiosity.
You don’t need to push anything forward forcefully. But you may find, by looking at the bigger picture, that you’re more ready to move than you thought.
