ALL ABOUT THE MOON ON AN ASTROLOGICAL LEVEL

Everything You Need To Know About The Full Moon From An Astrological Perspective

This is what a Full Moon Means from a spiritual and Astrological level.

The most well-known lunar events for everyone are full moon cycles. Most people have undoubtedly heard of eclipses, which are also fundamental lunations.

Full Moons in Astrology help us look at what's ready to launch and how to let go of what’s no longer helpful in our journey.

This is why paying attention to the most significant Moon Events enables us to reflect on who we are. We can take a step back and review to evaluate if we genuinely want a particular situation.

So, how does a Full Moon affect us?!

Full Moon Meaning in Astrology

Full Moons are the height of the lunar cycle. Unlike New Moons, Full lunar events are in the opposite Sign from the Sun rather than the same Zodiac. In Astrology, we look at the Moon Sign to determine the energy of this lunation.

Therefore, we experience this lunation when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, creating an Opposition in Astrology.

Oppositions happen when two celestial bodies face each other by 180 degrees and occur within the polarity of the Zodiac Sign.

During this phase, the Sun can illuminate the Moon because it is on the other side of the Earth. From our point of view, we see the bright side of the Moon; the other part does not reflect this light.

Full Moons occur at certain times of the month depending on lunar orbit. They can happen at the end or middle of the month once the Moon is in the opposing Sign of the Sun. For example, during Aquarius Season, the Sun is Transiting the Sign of the Water Bearer.

Because the Sign of the Moon dictates a Full Moon Sign, they carry more feminine or nocturnal energy. This brings in more intuition and a time to look at complexities. For this reason, we analyze what the Zodiac Sign associated with the Full Moon has brought to our lives and if it has fulfilled us.

Visibly these lunar events last approximately 3 days, so we get to see the Moon at its entire point for at least 72 hours.

Our Perspective During Full Moons

Spiritually, we are at the maximum point in our journey. This is a period to step back and look at what’s been created because now you can see the results of the intentions set 6 months back.

The Full Moon is a period of light being shed on half a year’s hard work.

These lunations mark the peak of a six-month cycle in which we evaluate what we’ve accomplished in a particular Sign. We look back at the Sign we started in during the New Moon and see if things have flourished as we intended.

In other words, if you planted seeds of intention during the New Moon in Aquarius, the Full Moon in this Sign will be an illuminated point where you know what’s what.

During this Signs energy, we consider what we’ve acquired, the positive attributes we’ve adopted, and those that aren’t healthy.

These fresh cycles are an assessment period. If things pan out the way we hoped, we’re ready to move forward and harvest the fruits of our labor. If you’re in this condition during the Full Moon, then this could be a period you’re ready to show off your hard work, launch a project or business, celebrate your accomplishments, and continue on this path you created.

Sometimes this is a period when we’re at a fork in the road. A complete lunar cycle could bring you to the point that shows two clear paths, so it might be a period of making the choice that aligns with who you’ve become.

Emotionally, this can be frustrating because we’ve gained some momentum but have plateaued, so modifications are necessary before moving to the last step. In other words, we’ve worked on our aspirations, but something still needs to be tweaked. For the most part, this time is used for modifications before you reach the finish line.

With this portion of the lunar phase, we reflect on the knowledge we gained. The lessons we’ve learned during this period are valuable because we can use that data for something important.

Or, we’re at a period where things have reached their pinnacle. During Full Moons, we can be closing chapters. Additionally, we could be at a point when we’re looking at what no longer works for us, so this could be a time to delete things in your life that aren’t bringing good energy to you.

Getting The Most Out Of A Full Moon

With this phase, we can still set intentions, but the objective is different.

Mostly, Full Moons can be considered a period to further your efforts, stabilize a situation, or release something. One of the ways to understand this is by using reflective questions to see where you’re at during the peak of the lunar cycle.

A complete lunar cycle is excellent for adding an extra boost to your goals or intentions you set 6 months ago.

One thing to note, if you’re boosting something you’ve been trying to manifest, make sure it already has a stable foundation because if it’s not feasible, it might not work.

The Full Moon is an excellent time to clear negativity in your home or go for some sort of energy work for yourself. Clearings can be done by using sage or palo santo, salting the corners of your home, and ensuring you’re filling it with good vibes. You can flood your home with good vibes by cooking, playing music, and burning your favorite scents.

Immerse yourself in H20.

You can take a spiritual bath or shower to draw in good vibes and relax. The Moon represents Cancer which happens to be a Water Sign. Also, this luminary moves the tides in our oceans so connecting with this element is helpful. Another excellent way to connect with water is going for a swim or buying one of those inflatable pools.

Alternatively, if you have the funds, an inflatable hot tub is also lovely to soak in during this lunation. But no matter what you choose, soaking in water is an excellent way to do an energy cleansing ritual at home.

Gathering with others is a great way to enjoy this complete cycle. In other words, why not have a dinner party or celebration of sorts with friends or loved ones?! Especially if it’s a Full Moon in Sagittarius, it’s terrific for throwing a shindig with some of the most decadent food and drink!

Depending on the quality of the Moon, one of my favorite things is to hang outside and soak up the lunar light. I usually go out there to burn some incense, journal and reflect on things. Not to mention, hanging out under the Moonlight is relaxing, grounding, and healing AF.

If you have a fire pit, light it up and hang out by it.

These Cycles are great for getting outdoors, so it doesn’t have to be sitting by the fire on your patio or backyard. One of my friends would have a monthly Full Moon bonfire years ago in the woods, and it was an excellent way to enjoy the lunar events.

So, if you live outside the city and have the extra land, why not have a bonfire?!

But again, it doesn’t have to be grand; it’s just great to get out and ground your energy. Nature is one of those things that helps us center ourselves, so if you’re looking to absorb some good vibes, hangout side for a bit.

Coming back to the fire pit and Full Moon scenario, this could be used to burn off old energy. In other words, maybe this is when you’re letting go of something, so this could be a night to release what’s no longer serving you.

Caution, please don’t burn anything huge or obviously something unsuitable for a fire pit.

Mostly this is about letting go but in a practical manner.

Hence, this could be writing a letter to someone you didn’t get closure from, but your mind is stuck on a loop so writing it out helps to purge those thoughts. Take that letter and burn it when you’re done. Or even old photos that tell a story you no longer resonate with for one reason or another. Take that letter and burn it when you’re done.

Another fantastic thing to do if you’ve come full circle and see the fruits of your labor from the last 6 months; write in your journal about your gratitude for a job well done.

Use this time to reap the rewards of your hard work and celebrate.
