A Full Moon occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon and the side of the Moon facing the Earth is completely lit by the Sun, making it a beautiful and bright shining light in the heavens. We have a Full Moon every 29 ½ days.
It is the Moon’s revolution around the Earth that makes it seem as if the Moon is changing shape or going through phases.
At the Full Moon, the Sun and the Moon are opposing or exactly 180 degrees apart. This opposition is powerful and brings matters ruled by the Moon to the forefront while creating tension between those governed by both of the two great luminaries.
This opposing energy can create a tug of war between the areas ruled by the Sun (power, action, advancement, father) and the Moon (passive, emotions, intuition, mother).
Your intuition and dreams should be heightened during the Full Moon and the effects last for about two weeks.
