Admittedly, this time of year is pretty weird. We’re nearing the end of summer, which doesn’t feel great, but there’s also an exciting, back-to-school vibe in the air. In a few weeks, you’ll break out your cozier clothes and gear up for plenty of fall deliciousness.

Well, hold that thought. Before all of that goes down, the universe is here to shake things up. It’s all thanks to the Full Sturgeon Supermoon in Aquarius, which is happening on August 19, 2024.

This super-charged moon is going to cause all kinds of unexpected things to happen in your life, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. That’s not necessarily a bad thing—it’s just, ya know, unexpected. Naturally, there’s a lot more in the mix for your zodiac sign.

Here’s what else you can expect from the Full Sturgeon Supermoon in Aquarius, and what it means for life going forward.

Meet the Expert: Donna Page is a certified astrologer in Atlanta.

What is the Full Sturgeon Supermoon in Aquarius?

Let’s cover some basics first: In astronomy, a full moon is when the moon looks like a big, round ball in the sky.

This particular full moon’s name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. The Full Sturgeon Supermoon’s name is from a big event that happens around this time—the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain are historically abundant right around now, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

In astrology, each full moon lines up with a different astrological sign, creating a vibe that influences what you do and how you feel. This month’s full moon is also a supermoon, which makes it really powerful, Page says. In fact, Page calls it “one of the most intense full moons of the year.”

How will the Full Sturgeon Supermoon in Aquarius impact your zodiac sign?

There are a few things to unpack here. This supermoon is in Aquarius, which is typically a sign that’s focused on creativity, being social, and forging your own path in life. That’s all still there, but there’s an element in the mix that’s throwing things off: the planet Uranus.

“Uranus means expect the unexpected,” Page says. “Things won’t necessarily go the way you think they will.”

Again—that doesn’t mean bad things are going to happen. It can translate to a stranger picking up the tab for you at your local coffee shop or going on a spontaneous weekend beach trip to soak up the last few days of summer. “It can be a very exciting time,” Page says.

You might have some changes around friendships, for example expanding your circle to include some new people you’ve met along the way this summer. But it can also mean weeding out a person or two that doesn't enhance your life in any way, shape, or form.

Your love life will come under the microscope, too. You might decide you’re just not interested in a third date with that person you’ve been seeing, or maybe you’ll even find yourself in a “Cruel Summer” situation ala Taylor Swift.

“There may be one lover out and one new lover in,” Page says. She points out that it’s not necessarily “a smooth-going time” for your love life, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad—it just may be different than what you’d thought things were going to look like.

Because of all this, Page recommends going with the flow as much as you can. “If you’re on vacation, be really flexible about where you’re staying or how you’re getting there,” she says. “Things may change.” (And hey, maybe you’ll get upgraded to business class seats—it’s happened before!)

The full moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says that Leo, Virgo, and Aquarius will feel it the most.

How will the Full Sturgeon Supermoon in Aquarius impact your future?

If you take only one thing away from this supermoon, it’s that life can be unpredictable sometimes. With that, you’ll emerge a little more flexible than in the past—and really, that’s a great thing.

You may end up fine-tuning your social circle, helping you to surround yourself with people who are supportive and fun. That ultimately will help you feel stronger headed into fall and beyond.

Sure, it can be a little jarring to have things be mixed up in your love life, but sometimes change is needed. You may also find that you’ll start to focus your attention more on someone who is more deserving of your love—and get even better vibes back in return.

Ultimately, you’ll come out of this full moon ready to handle more curveballs in life than you did in the past, making you more resilient than ever.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon is on September 18, 2024 in the sign of Pisces.

During this full moon, you’ll feel a little more sensitive and creative than usual. For now, just try to roll with things—you’re going to need that flexible mindset going forward.
