What the Full Moon Does to Us

At the full moon, the Sun and Moon face each other exactly – the moon is fully lit, tension in the lunar cycle at its Peak. Astrologically, this is the time of Harvest and Letting Go: What was begun at the new moon now shows its result. Feelings are more intense, sleep often lighter, clarity greater.

The Moon Sign of the Full Moon colors the theme: A Full Moon in Scorpio touches different life areas than one in Libra. Click through the individual dates above – for each Full Moon you'll find the fitting interpretation.
