Full Moon August: Ex Partner Contacts These 2 Zodiac Signs!
Suddenly, your ex contacts you: These two zodiac signs are affected in August!
Summer 2025 is in full, warm bloom – the days are endlessly long, the evenings gentle and balmy, and over all there’s a special lightness that invites flirting, falling in love, and dreaming.
It’s a time when new stories are written and old dreams come alive again.
But while many singles longingly hope for exciting new encounters and enjoy life to the fullest, there are two very specific zodiac signs for whom a familiar, long-forgotten chapter of their lives suddenly returns.
And not quietly or casually – but with emphasis and an intensity that leaves no one unmoved.
The astrological constellations in August 2025 create a fascinating cosmic theater: Mercury ends its retrograde phase on August 11, bringing clarity to communication and long-forgotten connections.
At the same time, this transition creates nostalgic vibrations, emotional flashbacks, and unresolved relationship issues that suddenly resurface – like messages from another time.
And not only that: The powerful full moon on August 9, 2025, in revolutionary Aquarius sheds a dazzlingly bright light on old connections, unresolved emotional issues, and matters of the heart that seemed long forgotten and buried.
It’s as if the universe decided to retell old stories – but this time with a different ending.
If you belong to one of the affected zodiac signs, you should prepare yourself mentally: A message from your ex-partner could reach you completely unexpectedly and out of the blue.
Maybe it starts harmlessly with a belated birthday greeting or a random memory of times spent together.
But perhaps it is also a sincere, courageous attempt to relive the past and ask for a second chance.
In this detailed article, you’ll learn exactly how the fascinating astrological constellations work in August 2025, why you, in particular, are drawn to this cosmic energy—and, above all, how you can use this special time wisely and consciously for your personal development.
Cosmic Overview: What will happen astrologically in August 2025
Before we turn to the individual zodiac signs and their specific experiences, it is worth taking a detailed look at the planetary movements.
Because what is happening in the sky influences our feelings, decisions and our entire emotional experience far more than many of us consciously realize.
Full Moon in Aquarius on August 9, 2025:
A full moon always brings clarity and revelations – it ruthlessly illuminates what was hidden and shines a bright light on what we might have preferred to leave in the shadows.
The innovative, freedom-loving Aquarius is particularly concerned with themes such as independence, authentic self-realization, but also with surprising twists and turns and completely unexpected developments.
This full moon has a special quality: it puts relationships to the test. Connections that have constrained or belittled you may be critically examined during this time.
At the same time, people from the past suddenly reappear – as if the universe wanted to pick up old threads.
Mercury’s direct motion from August 11, 2025:
Mercury, the messenger of the gods and planet of communication, ends its retrograde phase on August 11th.
During this time, misunderstandings were commonplace, messages suddenly reached us from long-forgotten contacts, and conversations with the past became a central theme.
Now that Mercury is moving direct again, the fog is clearing. The time of confusion is over—but the messages that emerged during the retrograde are now revealing their true meaning.
Venus moves into Leo (from August 25):
Venus, the goddess of love, moves into the fiery, passionate sign of Leo on August 25.
The love energy becomes more intense, dramatic, and demanding. You don’t just want to be loved—you want to be admired, desired, and appreciated.
People from the past who contact you now usually do so for a deeper reason. They sense this changed energy and are magically drawn to it.
Mars in Libra (from August 6):
Mars moves into harmony-seeking Libra on August 6th, bringing with it an interesting dynamic: You analyze your relationships, consider what was fair and what wasn’t, and remember old conflicts and unresolved issues.
This energy can lead to old chats being reactivated or you “accidentally” scrolling through old messages again.
Cancer zodiac sign: The past knocks – gently but firmly
Dear Cancer, if you were born under this sensitive, intuitive sign of the zodiac, then you know from your own experience: Your feelings are as deep as the ocean, as honest as a child’s heart, and often inextricably intertwined with the past.
You don’t forget easily—especially if you truly loved someone with all your heart. August 2025 will be emotionally intense for you, but also incredibly healing and transformative.
Why you are affected:
The full moon in Aquarius on August 9th activates your eighth house—the mystical house of emotional transformation, deep connections, and also secrets from the past.
It’s as if the universe were opening an old treasure chest containing long-forgotten memories and feelings.
At the same time, this full moon opposes your Cancer energy. While you typically seek safety and security, the Aquarius full moon challenges you to look beyond your comfort zone and ask yourself: What do you truly need for your emotional well-being?
What you can expect:
Between August 9th and 15th, the probability that an ex-partner will contact you is particularly high.
The message could come completely unexpectedly – perhaps as a WhatsApp message that reaches you in the middle of your everyday life.
Maybe via Instagram, in response to a photo that evokes memories. Maybe even in an old-fashioned romantic way with a handwritten card or a spontaneous phone call.
You will suddenly remember times you spent together – everything that was beautiful and touching, but also the things that hurt and left scars.
And this is where your big opportunity lies: You can see with crystal-clear clarity how much you have grown internally and how strong you have become.
How to deal with it wisely:
Allow the feelings to come, but don’t get lost in them. It’s completely normal and human for old memories to trigger emotions. You’re allowed to feel whatever comes up—but you don’t have to stay trapped in those feelings.
Ask yourself the crucial question: Do I really want to rekindle this relationship and give it a real second chance – or am I just missing the familiar feeling of comfort and security that I associate with this person?
An honest conversation can work wonders. It can help to finally heal old wounds and make peace. But remember: It doesn’t necessarily have to be a romantic comeback—it can also be a loving, final closure.
Your astrological advantage:
The full moon on August 9th will illuminate all your relationships in a completely new, clearer light.
You’ll suddenly be able to tell whether someone truly sees and values you for who you are—or whether they’re just addressing old, unmet needs within you.
My loving advice to you:
- Listen to your gut feeling – it is your wisest advisor
- Don’t let yourself be rushed or pressured
- If you notice that you are giving too much without receiving something in return, this is not a sign of love – but an important warning signal
Leo zodiac sign: Why is he or she contacting you now?
Dear Leo, you are proud, strong, and independent—and yet a deeply emotional, passionate person with a big, warm heart. You love with every fiber of your being, with complete devotion and unconditional intensity.
And when you have been hurt or disappointed, you step back with royal dignity, adjust your invisible crown, and move on with your head held high.
But what happens when someone from the past suddenly reappears and knocks on the door of your heart?
Why August 2025 is special for you:
The Aquarius Full Moon on August 9th is in direct opposition to your Leo sign, creating a powerful tension.
While as a Leo you naturally want to be the center of attention and be loved, Aquarius encourages you to maintain your independence and ask yourself: Do you really need this person, or do you just want them?
Venus moves into your sign on August 25th, greatly amplifying your magnetic aura. People from the past sense this shift in your energy and feel magically drawn to you.
What you can expect:
Especially between August 20 and 28—when Venus is already in your sign—the probability that an old flame will contact you is very high.
The message could take different forms: Perhaps a belated birthday message with a “I thought you should know I was thinking of you.”
Maybe a nostalgic “Do you remember when we…” or even an honest request for a clarifying, personal conversation.
How your reaction is likely to go:
Surprised at first: It will take you a moment to realize that this person has really contacted you.
Then you’re interested: Your natural curiosity is piqued. What does he or she want? What is the real reason for this contact?
And finally, critical: Because you have changed and developed in the meantime – and that is the best thing that could have happened to you.
The deeper cosmic background:
Venus in your sign not only brings you added charm and magnetic attraction—but also a new, crystal-clear understanding of what you truly need and deserve in a relationship. You now know your worth and won’t sell yourself short.
With the Aquarius Full Moon, you will also feel very clearly which people encourage you to grow and support you in your development – and which ones want to hold you back or belittle you.
My warm recommendation for you:
Be open to a conversation if it feels right. But do it for yourself and your inner clarity—not to do the other person a favor or to heal old wounds that aren’t yours.
Ask yourself the crucial question: Do I still have real, vibrant feelings for this person – or is it just nostalgia and longing for a time that is irretrievably gone?
Never forget: You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Neither to yourself nor to them. Your personal development and growth speak for themselves.
The astrological explanation: Why these two zodiac signs?
The combination of the Aquarius Full Moon and the other planetary movements has a particularly intense effect on Cancer and Leo, because both signs have a direct astrological relationship to this Full Moon:
Cancer is challenged by the opposition between the full moon and their natural need for emotional security. The Aquarius full moon forces them to look beyond their comfort zone.
The zodiac sign Leo is in direct opposition to Aquarius and therefore experiences a powerful tension between the desire for attention and the need to remain independent.
Both signs are also strongly influenced by Venus – Cancer through the emotional component of love, Leo through the passionate, dramatic side of romance.
Conclusion: August does not bring you an obligation – but a conscious choice
The end of Mercury retrograde, the powerful Aquarius full moon on August 9, 2025, and Venus’s move into Leo combine to ensure that the past gently but firmly knocks on your door.
If you are a Cancer or a Leo, this special time is a loving invitation from the universe—but definitely not an obligation or duty.
You have the power to decide
You’re completely free to decide whether you’re ready to reopen an old chapter and give it a new twist.
Or whether you finally close it lovingly and definitively – with an honest, clear view of what was and an upright, hopeful heart for what may come.
The true key to your happiness lies not in the message that will reach you, but in yourself and your ability to make conscious, self-determined decisions.
Your next steps
So take a deep breath when the message arrives. Read it calmly (or not, if you don’t feel ready yet). Mindfully feel what these words trigger within you.
And then make the decision that strengthens you, that allows you to grow, and that is in harmony with the person you are today.
Because even if the past comes back and old stories want to be told again: your true life takes place in the here and now.
And you not only have the right, but also the responsibility, to shape it in a way that is good for your soul and makes you shine.
The stars may light the way, but you have to walk it yourself. And that’s the best part—you are the author of your own story.
May this special August give you the clarity you need to make wise decisions—decisions that make your heart and soul sing.
