August 2027 full moon: Tuesday 17 August in Aquarius
The August full moon is exact on Tuesday, 17 August 2027 at 07:31 UTC, with the Moon in Aquarius and 100% of the disc lit.
Meaning
A full moon in Aquarius clarifies where you sit in a group: the community you have outgrown, the cause that is carrying you, the friendship that turned into an obligation. With a Leo Sun opposite, the question is whether belonging still leaves room for you. Leaving one thing is more useful than joining another.

Journal prompts

Questions about the August 2027 full moon
What sign is the August full moon in?
Aquarius, because at the moment of a full moon the Moon sits opposite the Sun and takes the facing sign. It advances by roughly one sign a month, so no two consecutive full moons repeat it.
What time is the August full moon in my country?
07:31 UTC is Universal Time. Take five hours off for New York, add one or two for Madrid, add ten or eleven for Sydney. When the instant falls near midnight your local date lands a day either side of 17 August 2027.
When is the next full moon after this one?
15 September 2027, in Pisces. Two full moons are 29 or 30 days apart, so the next one normally falls in the following calendar month; the table above lists every full moon of 2027.
What are you supposed to do on the August full moon?
Finish rather than begin: settle the debt, return what you borrowed, send the thing sitting in drafts. The disc reads full to the eye for about a day either side of 07:31 UTC on 17 August 2027, and practice allows that whole window. Starting things belongs to the new moon a fortnight later.
