This is a general post on the energy of a Full Moon, from my blog at astrology.com
As the Moon waxes and becomes increasingly brighter, your spirit expands and opens. The light of the full Moon may help you see something you’ve been missing, or make it easier to understand what’s really going on with someone special. The luscious lunar orb at its fullest is indeed a time of magic.
During a full lunation, the Moon stands equal to the Sun. This creates themes of balance, harmony and equality. Thus if life or a particular personal situation seems out of balance, it may be that under the full Moon some heart-warming, healing
adjustments can be made.
As the full Moon brings light and insight, and awakens awareness, you’re likely to discover things that were previously hidden. This new understanding can help you make a more meaningful decision or better organize a work or personal relationship so that it’s fair for everyone involved.
The Moon has long been associated with emotion, which means feelings which can run strong under a Full Moon. While this might mean you are more emotional at this time, it also means your true feelings will come to light. Even if these feelings surprise you, or are stronger than expected, they are they to serve and guide you. If the Full Moon helps you know your feelings, then you’ll be better able to make a heartfelt choice, or nourish yourself in truly meaningful ways.
In this way the emotional quality of the Full Moon has a purpose. It’s like the cosmos shines a light into your heart, helping you see what’s been hidden or tucked away.
As the Full Moon is about insight and emotion, it’s a great time for personal reflection. This might involve meditation, journal writing or healing therapies of all kinds.
The Moon is your unconscious or hidden self. When the Moon is full your unconscious or hidden self is most accessible, as if the veil between your heart and your mind is thin enough that you can access your own wisdom in ways you can’t at other times of the month.
Nurturing, of body, mind and spirit is important under a Full Moon. If you have neglected your body, the Full Moon may remind you of what you need to enhance wellness.
Whether the Full Moon stirs your soul, triggers your mind or opens your heart it will bring new insight to help you live a more meaningful existence.
