No, it’s probably not responsible for your “Excel nightmare” last night. However, in astrology, the Full Moon represents a surge of energy, unleashed creativity, and much more.
Your Cancer sister insists that if it affects the tides and we are composed of 70% water, the Full Moon must have an effect on us? Tell her that, since we’re going to bring up arguments that aren’t scientifically proven, they might as well be fun and poetic. That’s good, because that’s exactly what astrology suggests. Since the need to dream probably makes up the remaining 30% of our body, the Full Moon is precisely a symbol of imagination at its peak, of wild creativity. This is why it’s so present in horoscopes, especially your lunar horoscope. Here’s an explanation.
When is the Full Moon?
Let’s go back to basics. The Moon has a cycle that lasts approximately 28 days. During this period, the star will appear to disappear in the sky, then it will grow larger, taking the shape of a quarter, a crescent, and then a full circle. This is when the Full Moon appears, about two weeks after the beginning of the lunar cycle. To find out the dates of this unique event, it’s best to refer to a lunar calendar. They are generally indicated by a white circle. Once this lunar phase has passed, the Moon will gradually wane before disappearing once more. This will be a sign that the lunar cycle is over and that a new cycle is about to begin.
How long does the Full Moon last?
While the Full Moon has a specific date and time, its powers are said to extend over several days. Thus, its effects were felt two or three days before and two or three days after. While from an astronomical perspective, the Full Moon simply indicates the moment when the entire star is illuminated by the Sun (hence its round and complete shape), for witches and astrology enthusiasts, this lunar phase is the moment when the Moon’s powers are most intensely felt. Hence the fact that rituals and celebrations take place on Full Moon nights.
What are the powers of the Full Moon?
The Full Moon is a magical night; it is the moment when the Moon’s energies culminate. During this lunar phase, everything becomes clearer, everything becomes achievable, more intense, and more brilliant. According to some beliefs, during a Full Moon, the veil separating our world (the tangible world) from the invisible world becomes thinner and disappears. Cosmic energies are therefore intensified, allowing everyone to practice magic. For witches, the Full Moon invites us to celebrate life. And, since the Moon is the star that governs our emotions, our sensitivity is heightened. In all its radiance, the Full Moon is a time of forgiveness. It’s the moment when we free ourselves from negative energies and everything we don’t want to carry around or no longer want to carry around. Even more, it’s a time to become aware of our own power. We release our emotions, we thank the Moon for its help, for its strength. The Full Moon therefore coincides with the moment when our dearest wishes come true.
But the Full Moon doesn’t always have only positive effects. Known to cause insomnia, this lunar phase is also said to be capable of awakening certain emotions we’ve been trying to avoid. Beware of surges of stress, anxiety, or anger. On these evenings, the Moon doesn’t ignore any sensitivity. For some people, the Full Moon is a fateful moment when everything is so intense that it becomes difficult to remain calm. This moment pushes us to action, reactivating the forces that lie dormant within us. While, from a beauty perspective, it’s the perfect time to moisturize our skin or cut our hair, from a psychological perspective, the Full Moon is there to question ourselves. What do you want to reveal? What do you want to let go of? What dreams do you see materializing? It’s time to take stock…
