In the evening, when the Sun sets, our satellite will exceed 99.7% illumination. Thus, the Moon says goodbye to its crescent phase, now showing itself with almost all its strength and is preparing to enter, tomorrow during the first part of the day, the full moon or full moon phase. This milestone in the August 2025 lunar calendar comes this year 2025 just a few days before another highly anticipated nighttime spectacle, the peak of the Perseid shower, which will take place with the Moon waning but still brightly illuminated.

You will want to know how the full Moon influences you, and the key moment for this is tomorrow, but these days surrounding that moment you can already feel its magic. The movement does not stop and the path is a process in which each step leads to the next. The preparation, conscious or unconscious, began days ago, it began at the same moment in which the Moon overcame the darkness and its growth phase began. These days it simply intensifies, because the energy has increased and because the moment has become more present in you.
