The Full Moons of 2025: Your Complete Guide

Welcome in the unique energy of every single Full Moon in 2025

By Tarot.com Staff

The Full Moon has captivated humanity for basically as long as humanity has existed, and for good reason! Each of the year's Full Moons has its own meaning and will have a unique impact on your life. The exact effects of the Full Moons vary depending on what sign the Moon is in -- and, of course, on your individual Essential Birth Report.

The indigenous peoples of the Americas also viewed the Full Moon with great significance and gave each one of the usual 12 Full Moons a name to reference the season or traditional activities it heralded. A Full Moon occurs roughly once a month when the Moon opposes the Sun, marked by the Moon's fully illuminated visage. Seeing the natural glow of the Moon and Sun's completed cycle signifies a valuable time of culmination and maturity for all of us. If you find yourself struggling with these concepts, you can always find guidance in our Full Moon Tarot Reading.

Regardless of the specifics, though, the Full Moon is always a good time to wrap up your ongoing projects and analyze any recently completed ones. Whether you're basking in your success or pondering what you could do differently next time, the Full Moon has plenty of insights to offer. This article includes the dates, traditional names, and Astrological signs of each Full Moon in 2025 -- as well as some ideas on how to empower your soul during these powerful lunar events.

When is the next Full Moon?

Full Moon Calendar 2025

Full Moon in Cancer on January 13, 2025

The Wolf Moon rings in 2025 with a howl rather than a bang -- which makes sense for the lunar event named after the singing of winter-hungry wolves. This Full Moon takes place in protective Cancer, reminding us to look out for our packs. Warrior Mars is in Cancer as well, further empowering our efforts to care for our loved ones.

Of course, defending those we care about doesn't have to involve getting in physical fights. Maybe your pack needs some words of affirmation or a hot meal to share. A simple compliment that shows your appreciation for a pal will probably be quite appreciated! If you really want to indulge the Wolf Moon's sentimental side, consider sharing your favorite "howls" with someone by making them a personalized playlist or mixtape.

Full Moon in Leo on February 12, 2025

Even amid February's brisk weather that gives the Snow Moon its name, we can stay warm thanks to the Moon's position in fiery Leo. There's a lot we can do during this year's Snow Moon! Whether or not it's snowing where we are, the Leonine energy of the Full Moon will keep us on our toes, jumping from idea to idea.

If you want to stay indoors, consider looking up a tutorial for a dance move you've always wanted to try. If the great outdoors is calling, bundle up and get out there -- just remember to bring a hot drink with you. Don't be afraid to do things you'd normally consider too childlike, either. Maturity doesn't mean abandoning everything that brings joy. During this Full Moon, even the king of the jungle can let down his mane and play!

Full Moon in Virgo on March 14, 2025

"Worms" and "Virgo" might not sound like things that go together, but this March, the Worm Moon says otherwise. Traditionally, this Full Moon arrives around the time the earth is softening from Winter's freezes, allowing earthworms to surface for the first time in the year, and this year, it takes place in Virgo.

Virgo's tidy vibes might get a little out of hand as we get started on any spring-cleaning plans. After all, without any worms, the soil will be less able to nurture future harvests. Similarly, if we make our homes fully sterile, there will be less inspiration to fuel our future plans. Thankfully, this Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse, which gentles the potential harshness of this phase. Clutter isn't automatically bad -- sometimes it's a sign of a life lived well!

Full Moon in Libra on April 12, 2025

A Libra Full Moon is the most sociable of the Full Moons, and the 2025 Pink Moon lives up to its name. It signals the arrival of the first blush of wildflowers in nature. These flowers blossom even in April's showers, and so can we, especially since Venus begins moving direct in Pisces on the same day.

Utilize this Full Moon's power by doing something social you've either never done before or rarely do. For instance, you could attend a local library program, bar trivia night, or a casual sports group. Even if you don't have time for a whole new hobby, try something as simple as striking up a conversation with a stranger while you're both in line to get groceries. The Moon won't be able to share its insights if you don't give it a chance to talk!

Full Moon in Scorpio on May 12, 2025

Springtime flowers are here to stay for the season by the time May's Flower Moon in Scorpio rolls around. Flowers are great at presenting their best sides to the world. This Flower Moon asks us to review the parts of ourselves that we show off versus those we keep hidden. Luna also opposes rebel Uranus on this day, so we may buck against our better judgment by ignoring any less-than-perfect petals in our lives.

There's no way around it -- this is a deeply personal Moon. Look, we're allowed to be a little selfish if that's what we need to confront painful cycles and end them, once and for all. Maybe we need to cry it out over some indulgent snacks and a Self-Healing Analysis Tarot Reading. Whatever our shadow sides require, the Scorpio Full Moon is here to help.

Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11, 2025

The June Full Moon has been dubbed the Strawberry Moon, as it's the time of year when tribes like the Algonquin would gather fresh strawberries. This year, the Strawberry Moon is a Sagittarius Full Moon and boosts grandiose Jupiter in Cancer, offering us almost unimaginable cosmic enthusiasm. The world is chock-full of blessings, but there's no need to rush to snag every single one. Think of it like a field of ripe strawberries. There's plenty to go around!

This Full Moon, allow yourself the space to slow down and appreciate the universe's generosity. Try going on small adventures, like taking a walk down an unfamiliar path or doing a Tarot reading with a deck you've never used before. If you don't feel like purchasing a new deck, we've got plenty of gorgeous art to peruse in our Tarot deck collection.

Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10, 2025

The July 2025 Buck Moon occurs in Capricorn and takes its name from the antlers of whitetail male deer, or bucks. By this time of year, they're almost entirely mature in size and ready to harden for the rest of the summer. As the bucks develop their tools, so must we.

This Full Moon asks us to look at the tools we've been using over the last month. When was the last time you sharpened your kitchen knives or cleansed your Tarot deck? Selenite is an amazing stone for Full Moon cleansing rituals, but your Sun sign may respond more strongly to other gemstones. If you haven't been maintaining your necessities, that may have caused some issues in your recent projects. Let the Buck Moon remind you to stay on top of such regular repairs!

Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9, 2025

In late summer, the August Full Moon in Aquarius shines on the eponymous giant lake sturgeon of the Sturgeon Moon. Sturgeon are not schooling fish, but they can and do find value in communicating with each other. During this Full Moon, we should remember that principle.

We don't have to fully align with a cause or group in order to appreciate the wisdom or benefits we can gain from it. Take this lunation as an opportunity to think about associations in your life that came to a natural end -- maybe you moved away from a local congregation or graduated from school. How has your past with an organization impacted your life since then? If you can't quite nail down your emotions, a Life Cycle Tarot reading, empowered by the Sturgeon Moon, could offer deep insight.

Full Moon in Pisces on September 7, 2025

Just like last year, this September's Full Moon is in Pisces and is a Lunar Eclipse. Unlike last year, it isn't the closest Full Moon to the Fall Equinox -- we've still got two more weeks of summer! As the last of the summer corn ripens in fields, it may not look like it's doing anything, but inside the husks, a lot is going on. Similarly, this Full Moon's energy may seem low-key, but we, too, can be active on the inside rather than the outside.

Optimize your days around this Full Moon by looking for calm places to meditate and immerse yourself in the spiritual seas of Pisces. Don't let the distractions of the Moon opposing Mercury in Virgo overpower the soothing Lunar Eclipse! Stay focused and ready for the month ahead by clarifying your inner self.

Full Moon in Aries on October 6, 2025

The Harvest Moon refers to the Full Moon that occurs closest to the Fall Equinox in late September. Most years, the September Full Moon gains this title. In 2025, though, the Aries Full Moon in October takes place nearest to the Fall Equinox, netting it the title of Harvest Moon.

We're all probably going to be busy bees this harvest season, thanks to all the Moon's Aries fire. We also may feel a little easier to rile up, as the Moon conjoins Neptune, further enabling the more aggressive aspects of Aries. Make an effort to avoid getting into overwhelming situations, no matter how much you think you can handle. Continually stretching yourself thin will end with an abrupt snap sooner or later -- and if you aren't careful, it might happen during this Full Moon.

Full Moon in Taurus on November 5, 2025

Patience and luxury walk hand-in-hand during this November's Taurus Full Moon. It's known as the Beaver Moon, since at this time of year, beavers are typically preparing their dams for winter. In turn, we're reminded that the conclusion of one monthly cycle brings another, so we should prepare for that as well.

The Moon's cycle isn't the only one that's shifting -- this lunation also serves as advance warning for radical Uranus's shift into reliable Taurus on November 7. How could you have made your work over the past month easier? Taurus has an answer: enjoy yourself! If you're cleaning around the house, put on your favorite tunes. When yard work is on the docket, be sure to have your favorite hydrating beverage nearby. Stuck in the office? Brighten up your space with some work-friendly decor.

Full Moon in Gemini on December 4, 2025

We probably won't have time to hibernate this winter if December's Gemini Full Moon has anything to say about it -- and that's before we mention the Moon trining Pluto in Aquarius and opposing Venus in Sagittarius. There's no doubt about it -- this is a busy Full Moon. Fortunately, that's how Gemini likes it.

The Cold Moon is named for -- you guessed it -- December's cold weather. The best way to stay warm this season is to stay busy, and there should be plenty to do! Full Moons signify completion, but you might not be quite done with a couple of current projects. Let the Gemini Moon motivate you to finish up any lingering goals from the year overall, whether that means polishing a homemade gift before the holidays or practicing a personal skill that you haven't touched in some time.


The Full Moons each year can be amazing influences on our lives, as long as we're willing to put in the work to utilize them. Of course, "work" doesn't have to be literal -- for you, it might simply look like a moment of quiet reflection once a month. Maybe you want to go all out and cook special meals correlating to the traditional names of each Full Moon! Whatever your preference, you can't go wrong with a little direction from a Full Moon Tarot reading.
