The Full Moon is the peak of the lunar cycle, when the Moon sits opposite the Sun and its face is fully lit. It is the moment of culmination, when what began at the New Moon comes to light and reaches its height. The Full Moon carries the energy of fulfillment, illumination, and heightened awareness, often felt as a time when emotions and results both come to a head. As current sky, a Full Moon is a time of completion, revelation, and strong feeling, when things hidden become visible and matters come to fruition. The mood is bright and charged, and relationships and emotions are especially vivid. As a birth phase, people born under a Full Moon tend to be aware, expressive, and oriented toward others. They often experience life through relationship and seek meaning and clarity, weighing their own view against the perspectives of those around them. There can be a sense of polarity to balance. The gift of the Full Moon is illumination, and its work is to bring awareness and fulfillment while finding balance between self and other.
