What is the Full Moon? — It's a period of reward 🌕
The Full Moon is the lunar phase in which the surface appears fully illuminated. When the Moon and the Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, we view the Moon as being full. The side facing Earth is completely lit up by the Sun and appears as a disk. This amazing event occurs once roughly every month, as shown in our Moon calendar for 2024.
What it means in astrological terms
A Full Moon is a time when we reap what we sowed during the New Moon. If one has acted positively and worked hard during the New Moon, one reaps the first fruits of their labor at Full Moon. This cycle therefore represents a reward or the beginning of a reward, plus it also acts as an indicator that we're on the right path to success. On the other hand, if you have been passive or lazy in your initiatives during the New Moon, the Full Moon acts as a light, a revelation, a clarification, and even a small crisis. It therefore allows you to reorient yourself and act differently afterwards. Indeed, it is the moment to readjust your tactics.

What is a New Moon? — It's represents a new beginning 🌑
The New Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are on the same side of the Earth. During this cycle, the face of the Moon that we see from Earth is not lit up by sunlight. From Earth, we are unable to see the New Moon in the sky, unless there’s a solar eclipse, with the Moon positioned directly in front of the Sun.
This period symbolizes a second chance and a clean slate. If everything went wrong for you during the Full Moon and you made mistakes you shouldn't have made, here, you'll be granted a second go. That's why it's the perfect time to meditate, plan, organize and plan your next steps. Its purifying energy is there to help you in your reflection and analysis.

What kind of influence does the Moon have on us as humans?
The moon's gravitational pull and its changing phases have subtle yet profound effects on Earth and its inhabitants. From influencing tides to potentially impacting sleep patterns and mood, the moon's presence plays a role in various aspects of human life. Here's what it's thought to do;
The Moon's influence on our hair 💇♀️
Lunar cycles have a direct influence on hair regrowth, which is why it is important to choose the right Moon phase to wax or shave. The ideal time to shave or wax is during the Waning Moon phase, which is the phase in between the Full Moon and the beginning of the New Moon. This is the best time to ensure slower and less visible regrowth. Equally, it's essential to pay attention to the lunar phases when it comes to your hair as well. Depending on which phase the satellite is in, your hair will grow back at a different rate.
Moon's Influence on your libido ❤️🔥
For years, this lunar star has intrigued and fascinated us. Its power of attraction is not only found on the tides, but also on our sexual drive. The Full Moon period awakens passion and physical attraction. During this phase you feel more energetic and emotionally strong, plus, if you are single it could definitely be the best phase to find a partner. It is therefore evident that the Moon has a strong influence on our sexuality.
Moon's influence on your sleep quality 🛌🏾
It's official, according to some studies the Full Moon can cause insomnia and alters our sleep rhythm. In fact, it has been shown that during certain phases of the Moon, we take longer to drift off to sleep. Melatonin; the hormone that regulates sleep patterns, decreases considerably during the Full Moon phase.
How does the Moon impact our bodies? 🏃♀️
Our body also reacts to the Moon's rays. Now, the Moon is related to everything that is liquid in our body. It therefore plays on our lymphatic system, our digestive system and through this, on our circulatory system, as well as on our brain. For women, it is a symbol of femininity and fertility, meaning the Moon influences our menstrual cycle, our uterus, our ovaries, or even pregnancies.
FAQ - What if my birthday falls on a Full Moon or a New Moon? 🎁Is the influence of the Full Moon or New Moon intensified if it falls on your birthday?
My birthday falls on a New Moon, what does this mean? If your birthday falls on a New Moon day, you were born with a Sun-Moon conjunction in your natal chart, so there may be confusion between your feminine and masculine influences, because these two planets are antagonistic. Here the feminine, represented by the Moon, is intimately linked to the masculine, represented by the Sun. It is also possible that the unconscious (the Moon) and the conscious (the Sun) are mixed together, meaning your energies will be slightly muddled. With time and with age, it becomes easier to find one's balance and one's bearings. During a New Moon, we are more sensitive, especially during a New Moon in our birth sign.
My birthday falls on a Full Moon:If your birthday falls on a Full Moon day, you were born during an opposition between the Sun and the Moon. Here there are more risks of difficulties, for instance, harmony is complicated with the other sex (the native could for example experience a divorce during their life). One can also experience inner imbalance, emotional instability, very variable moods, etc. or be torn between professional ambitions (the Sun) and private or family projects (the Moon). During a Full Moon, one is much more sensitive and impacted, especially if it occurs in the birth sky.

The importance of our lunar and rising signs during New and Full Moons
When a Full / New Moon appears in our zodiac sign, we will typically be more impacted than anybody else. We will feel the lunar influences on our willingness and our consciousness... However, if a New Moon or a Full Moon takes place in another sun sign, it can also have powerful effects on us:
- If a Full/New Moon takes place in our lunar sign, it affects our natal moon and therefore our sensitivity, our inner and emotional world.
- If it takes place in our rising sign, our essential needs of the moment will be called into question.
Susan Taylor’s insights: Seize the lunar powersThe bigger the Moon seems, the more it will transmit its energy! We will be more dynamic with its full presence, but its disappearance will invite us to refocus and to engage in deep introspection. Synchronizing with the Moon will allow us to be in harmony with a cycle that respects our state of mind, by allowing ourselves more active moments and moments of rest..
