About Tonight's Phase
Full Moon
The Full Moon occurs when the Earth sits between the Sun and Moon, fully illuminating the lunar surface. It rises at sunset and sets at sunrise, dominating the night sky. This is the brightest and most dramatic phase of the cycle.
The Full Moon is a time of culmination and clarity. Projects reach milestones, truths come to light, and emotions run high. It is simultaneously a celebration of what has been built and an invitation to release what no longer serves you. Many people report heightened energy, vivid dreams, and difficulty sleeping during this phase — scientific studies on lunar effects remain mixed, but the anecdotal tradition is ancient and cross-cultural.
