Full moon
The beginning of the full moon
Full moon is a celestial event that has fascinated humanity for centuries. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon. As the Moon travels around the Earth, we start to see more of it illuminated by the Sun until it reaches a point where it appears as a bright, glowing disc in the sky. This is what we call a full moon.
The full moon cycle lasts approximately 29.5 days and is an incredibly powerful time for people who believe in astrology and lunar magic. It is believed that the full moon has the power to enhance our emotions, amplify our intentions and heighten our intuition. During this period, many people engage in spiritual practices such as meditation, ritual ceremonies, and manifestation exercises. It is a time of deep reflection and growth, making it an important moment in the lunar calendar.
The significance of the full moon
A full moon is not just a beautiful sight to behold but holds great significance in various cultures around the world. In some traditional societies, the full moon is used to mark the beginning of a new month, while in others, it signifies the end of a harvest season. For example, in Hinduism, the full moon known as Purnima, is celebrated as a day of fasting, prayer, and charity.
Many people also associate the full moon with a spike in certain behaviors, such as an increase in emergency room visits and a rise in crime rates. Some scientific studies have found that this could be linked to the effect of the moon’s gravitational pull on our bodies and emotions.
