FULL MOON. The next full moon on August 31, 2023 placed under the sign of Pisces will be a lunation under the sign of renewal. According to astrology experts, the astrological signs most affected by this phenomenon will be Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
[Updated August 29, 2023 7:03 PM] The second full moon of August 2023, dubbed the blue moon, will come under the astrological sign of Pisces this Thursday, August 31, 2023. A full moon under the sign of Pisces romance, “favorable to dreams, sensitivity and the development of intuitions” according to astrologer Joyce Duval of Femme Actuelle. For Vogue astrologers, this full moon in Pisces also evokes change: “Something can leave our life, like a relationship, job, trauma, or even psychic energies that aren’t ours.”
Regarding its observation, this August 31 full moon will have the distinction of being a Super Moon. An astronomical phenomenon that scientists call “perigee-syzygia”, and which only takes place when the full moon is at the point of its orbit closest to Earth, less than 360,000 kilometers away. It can be observed with the naked eye, bigger and brighter than usual, if the sky is clear enough… What are the effects of the Full Moon on your astrological sign, your body and your mood? In our file below, you will know everything.
This full blue moon in August is “a prelude to love, romance, but also a possible return of exes or old acquaintances”, announces astrologer Joyce Duval of Current Woman. It will also herald transformations. Let’s see its effects sign by sign:
While each month of the year normally has its unique full moon, this year 2023 is a year with 13 full moons and it is this month of August that the second full moon of the same month occurs (the first having occurred on the 1st August and the last this Thursday, August 31, 2023). This is why the phenomenon is called a “full blue moon”, which has nothing to do with the color of the star.
Thursday, August 31, 2023 at 3:37 a.m. will be precisely the next full moon. The schedule is established by the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Ephemeris Calculation (IMCCE).
The influence of the Moon on the Earth is real and scientifically proven: its role is well known and major in the tidal cycle, which itself has multiple implications for the life of our planet. The lunar cycle might also have a slight impact on our bodies and plants, but many popular legends give it far more importance than it actually has: insomnia, aggression, gardening, hair growth, outbreak of deliveries… We help you sort out the (very few) true from the false.
The year 2023 is a year with 13 full moons (two occurring this August). Here are the dates and times of the next full moons in 2023 in detail:
