Full Moon

The Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon oppose each other across the zodiac, the Moon fully illuminated. This is the climax of the lunar cycle -- revelation, fulfillment, and heightened emotion. What was seeded at the New Moon now comes to fruition or reaches a turning point. Full Moons illuminate both external situations and internal truths, like someone flipping on the lights at a party: suddenly you see everything, including what you'd rather not. Emotions run high because the opposition pulls between two competing needs. Whatever sign axis the Full Moon falls on tells you what tension is peaking. Traditionally, harvests and celebrations were timed to the Full Moon's light. Those born under a Full Moon carry an innate awareness of polarity and relationship -- they see both sides, which grants perspective but can breed indecision. As a transit, Full Moons favor completion, honest conversations, and releasing what no longer serves. Breakthroughs and breakdowns both live here.
