The Full Moon and it's direct connection to the human emotion and psyche, has long been discussed and speculated. The theory is that when the Moon is at it's fullest, its energies affect the people on Earth. This phenomenon has been well documented since Ancient Greece. The word 'lunatic' itself, is derived from the Greek translation of Moon.
According to Astrologers, the Moon influences not just our mood, our emotions and mental wellbeing, but has been thought to synchronise with menstrual cycles, sickness and even wider scale disasters. Care workers have reported unrest in care homes, increased patients in the accident room and psychotic episodes in mental institutions, under the influence of a Full Moon. But how much of this is simply speculation?
In modern times, many scientists have concluded this so-called 'Lunar effect' to be nothing more than a coincidence, but despite this skepticism; many studies have been conducted to prove otherwise. It's hard to ignore the living evidence of the Moon flower; which only blooms under the light of the Full Moon, to the Dipsastraea speciosa; a species of coral that spawns only on the nights surrounding the Full Moon, to the well documents fact that the Full and New Moon are proven to affect the tides in the ocean, caused by the Moon's gravity. Even the biggest skeptics seem to agree with the notion that lunar cycles affect bodies of water.
When you take into account that the human body is at least 60% water, with children having water content at 70%, does one suddenly disregard the numerous evidence of the Moon controlling water? Furthermore, the symbolic relation to water and emotions strongly suggests, that there is a lot more to this luminary object than we'll ever know.
Whether you fall into the category of believer or skeptic, here is a list of every Full Moon that will occur in 2025. If one can keep track of each event, perhaps the individual can see truth in the Lunar effect, for themselves.
Each Full Moon has a unique energy to the next. It occurs when the Sun is directly opposite the Moon. In a spiritual viewpoint, the Full Moon is a time for release. The energy has been building up and leading us to this point for the past two weeks, now it's time to let it go. There is also the matter of balance, and the Moon opposite the Sun brings certain issues around polarities to light.
Let's explore each Full Moon and New Moon from an Astrological perspective, and decode what each Moon represents.
FULL MOONS OF 2025
Full Moon in Cancer
January 13th
The first Full Moon of the year highlights raw emotions that stem from childhood, instinctual needs for safety and comfort. Feelings from the past are likely to come up to the surface under this Full Moon, urging you to look at the bigger picture and see what it is telling you.
The Moon rules Cancer, so it's at home here, and is usually a comfortable fit in the Lunar cycle. However, Cancer energy is highly intuitive, even psychic and encourages emotional intelligence which can make non-Cancer natives very uncomfortable indeed.
It's a time to release old emotions, analyse your home situation and get past issues out into the open, where it can finally be at rest. You may feel closer to your family or interested in learning your roots. It's also important to establish a better balance of your home life and your career.
Is one receiving more attention than the other?
Full Moon in Leo
February 12th
The Moon is opposite the Sun; which is Leo's ruler. This Full Moon can help you to release emotions by using our creative skills and talents that the Lion encourages.
Our creativity is heightened, our confidence increased and perhaps even our ego, can be affected. It's the perfect time to take a leap of faith, to believe in yourself and do something you only imagined.
It's generally a positive Moon, letting us shine and invigorating our souls, but we can become excited by recklessness and struggle to feel connected to others or be empathetic. It's a struggle of the external and internal egos, and it's important to establish a real balance of friendship, community and helping others with the sense of self that you inhabit.
How important is humanity in your pursuit of happiness?
Full Moon in Virgo
March 13th
This Moon can be profound for making the necessary changes that will benefit your life in the long term. Habits you possess, whether positive or negative are shining under the spotlight.
Another highly intuitive and spiritual Moon that effects the body, mind and soul. The polarities of this Full Moon creates chaos in the order, helping us to see what daily changes need to be made and how you can become the best version of yourself.
You may be exceptionally tired during this Moon, struggling to find the energy to do basic tasks and night time can become very active indeed, with many strange symbolic dreams and messages delivered to you from the spiritual realm. It's important to keep the balance of what you can see and what you cannot, what you can change and what you can't.
What are your dreams trying to tell you?
Full Moon in Libra
April 12th
This Full Moon has influence from the planet Venus, and our attention turns to our relationships. Not just the relationships you have with others, but the one you have with yourself.
A loving, romantic energy that is flared by the need to take action. This is the perfect time to become closer to someone, to realise what that person truly means to you. However, it's advised to not give up your independence and not to succumb to others over the livelihood or wellbeing of yourself.
A healthy balance of self love and the love you have for others will be easy to achieve for some, and not too easy for others. Release your need to cross your boundaries for others, and the guilt you may have from being selfish, when necessary.
Why is it okay to put everyone's needs before your own?
Full Moon in Scorpio
May 12th
This Full Moon is intense and brings up our deepest, darkest fears and desires. You can become interested, even obsessed with whatever goal you have in mind.
These goals will probably be material or monetary based, but you should step back and see the depth to why this is important to you. You may feel protective over loved ones, or yourself, creating a wall between yourself and the world. It can be hard to open up to others during this Moon, even sabotaging relationships to maintain your safety, whilst simultaneously wanting deep affection. It can be hard to express feelings.
You should learn a healthy attachment to others, learn to release people from the grips of untrusting, suspicious energies and allow sacrifice into your life. What is for you, will stay.
Are you afraid of showing your true self?
Full Moon in Sagittarius
June 10th
Now this is more like it. This Full Moon is the most jovial and positive one of the year. The energy of the archer is light hearted and fun, making this Moon a release of all lives stresses and troubles.
You may find yourself intellectually inspired to learn, to teach and to discover the beauty of life. Travelling and engaging with like-minded people will be beneficial during this time. You can find yourself fully engaged in a purpose that is bigger than you, and bigger than anything you've found in this world. You may finally find your true purpose if you have been feeling lost.
This purpose is not seen with the eyes. It is the journey to self-awareness that extends to your world view. You will have lots of questions that you need answers to, and will likely find them under this Moon.
Are you living your life authentically?
Full Moon in Capricorn
July 10th
This Moon will highlight any problems or concerns that relate to your long-term goals and more specifically, your career. It's now time to release any unrealistic expectations you may have, and adjust as necessary.
You could be questioning the next steps in your career, making moves to get to those points or maybe considering a whole new career. It's important to let yourself rest with time off whilst you come to these conclusions, and not rush into this. Matters of money can take all of your focus, as you strategically plan and save to reach your financial goals.
The balance between organisation and motivation to reaching goals collide with the notion to retreat and connect to who you are as a person, in the deepest sense.
Does your career truly fit who your are?
Full Moon in Aquarius
August 9th
The Moon feels very strange here. Anything goes, and this Full Moon struggles with boundaries. Opposite the Sun that is ruler of current Leo transit can help you to come out of your shell and show the world who you truly are.
You may be interested in getting involved in a bigger cause, and helping others who do not have a voice. This Moon gives us the voice we need to be heard, as we rebel against societal norms and expectations. You will think outside of the box, challenge the perspectives of others and use your inner wisdom to come to your own conclusions.
You may be more interested in technology during this Moon. You have an urge to do something new, something that lights up your soul and sets you apart from the crowd. Now is not the time to do what everyone else is doing. Be different. Be bold.
Are you afraid of showing your true talents and gifts?
Full Moon in Pisces
September 7th
A highly sensitive and intuitive water Full Moon that has the ability to shine a vulnerable light on your deepest hopes and dreams. You may be easily confused during this time. Nothing is what is seems. This energy can help us seperate the illusion from the logic, if you tap in.
You can feel nervous and anxious about where you currently are in life, as this Moon brings awareness to your short-term goals. You may have the opportunity to start fresh in your career, or discover a new skill you didn't know you had, and apply this skill to reap rewards.
You may be exceptionally tired and need more sleep than usual. It's a perfect time to detox and cleanse your body and it's important to maintain a balance of the body, mind and soul, as they are very closely interconnected during this Full Moon.
Is the relationship between your body and mind in sync?
Full Moon in Aries
October 7th
After the previous sleepy Full Moon, it's now full steam ahead as Aries ignites our energy and helps us to get things done.
You can expect oodles of energy that needs to be released, it can be harmful if it's held back. Get out there and take up jogging, dancing or any active sport that gets your blood pumping. If you've been holding back and struggle to assert your power, you will find it under this Full Moon.
Anger can rise to the surface. Don't let it sit and simmer, remember to use this energy externally, not internally. Your focus is on you, which means any relationship you have may feel neglected and can cause serious damage. So it's important to maintain a balance of your needs and thier needs. On the other hand, you may be a chronic people pleaser and this Moon will help you to overcome this problem with validation.
Do you rely on other people to see your self worth?
Full Moon in Taurus
November 5th
There is an eclectic mix of intense emotions, mysticism and practical, grounding energy under this Full Moon.
You can feel more secure during this Moon, particularly when it comes to your finances. An excess of cash can usually point to some retail therapy, spa treatments and indulging in luxury foods, as this Moon brings out our inner Goddess. You want to feel beautiful and will be attracted to beautiful things. Watch you don't overindulge and overspend, easily done during this time.
You can become obsessed with a certain material goal, something you want to attain or have. This may be a potential lover. It's important to find a balance of needing love and respect for yourself.
Does buying nice things really bring true value to your life?
Full Moon in Gemini
December 4th
This is the last Full Moon of the year and it has a light-hearted, intellectual quality surrounding it. It's the perfect time to gather with friends, reconnect with old friends or distant family and come together with a mutual goal of fun and celebration. You may wish to get away for the holidays.
You can become more curious during this Full Moon, sparking intellectual debates with your peers, having the urge to learn something new or picking up a new book. Knowledge is power right now, use it to your advantage.
It's important to create a balance of what you know versus what you don't, keep an open mind when learning but knowing when to find the logic in the nonsense. There is a slightly reckless and spontaneous element to this Moon. Be careful. This is also a reflective Moon, helping us look back at the current year we've now passed and analysing what you've achieved and what you could do better.
Have you accomplished everything you said you would? How important is it to you?
NEW MOONS OF 2025
If the Full Moon is release, acceptance, balance and letting go, what does the New Moon represent?
The New Moon is the very start of a Lunar cycle. It occurs when the Sun is right next to (conjunct) the Moon. This makes it a powerful time to start fresh, to try again, to create a new beginning. Whilst the Full Moon is intense and chaotic, the New Moon is almost sombre, dark and deeply reflective.
