🌕 Full Moon

- Angle
- 180° — an opposition between Moon and Sun
- Illumination
- 98–100% lit
- In the cycle
- the two or three days around exact opposition
The Moon stands opposite the Sun and is lit from edge to edge. Everything is visible, including what you would rather not see — which is why the Full Moon has a reputation for feelings arriving all at once.
As an opposition it works by contrast: the Sun's sign and the Moon's sign are pulling against each other, and the phase asks for both instead of a winner. Results show up now, and so do the consequences of how you got them.
What it is good for
- Let the thing be seen: publish, say it, show it.
- Release what the light has made obvious — the Full Moon is better at endings than beginnings.
- Sleep is genuinely worse for many people here; plan for a short night.
