Full Moon

Accomplishments · Rewards · Balance

A Full Moon happens when Earth locates between the Sun and the Moon, so the Moon's entire day side faces us — 100% illuminated, rising as the sun sets and setting as it rises. It's the midpoint of the roughly lunar month. Not every Full Moon looks the same: some coincide with the Moon's closest approach to Earth (Supermoons), some turn red during a total lunar eclipse (Blood Moons), and some are simply the second one in a calendar month (Blue Moons). MOONX tracks exactly where you are in the lunar cycle right now — illumination percentage, moonrise and moonset for your location, and others.

What the Full Moon means

A Full Moon - is the midpoint of the lunar month, the moment everything the Moon has been building toward since the New Moon becomes fully visible. Despite centuries of folklore blaming Full Moons for sleeplessness, strange behavior, or emergency-room spikes, controlled studies haven't found a consistent link — what does shift is how much moonlight there is, which measurably affects nocturnal animals, tides, and how visible the night sky feels to us.

Celebrate accomplishments and reap the benefits

As the Full Moon illuminates the night sky, it reminds us of the power and beauty of completion and fulfillment. This is a time to celebrate and honor the things in our lives that have come to fruition. Take a moment to reflect on your own achievements and the things that bring you a sense of completion. Allow yourself to fully embrace and bask in the energy of fulfillment that the Full Moon offers. During this phase, it's a good time to focus on completing projects and bringing things to fruition. It's a time to focus on the results of your hard work and to see the fruits of your labor. It's also a good time to focus on letting go of things that no longer serve you, whether that be physical possessions, negative thought patterns, or relationships. In terms of emotions, the Full Moon phase is known for bringing emotions to the surface and can be a time of heightened emotions. It's important to take care of yourself and to practice self-care during this phase. It's also a good time to focus on self-reflection, meditation and journaling to help process your feelings. In summary, the Full Moon is a time of completion, fulfillment, and letting go. Embrace the power of the Full Moon, set intentions, make wishes, release what no longer serves you, and celebrate your achievements. Allow the light of the Full Moon to guide you towards a fulfilled and abundant life.
