If you’ve been along with us for our articles about astrology charts, you’re most likely well aware of the concept of moon signs. Depending on the time and location of your birth, you’re given a moon sign which gives insight on your emotions, moods and feelings. The moon cycles through the twelve signs every 2.5 days during a 28 day cycle, which means that your moon sign will likely differ from someone who shares your birthday but was born in a different year. But the moon’s placement does more than tell us about ourselves, it also plays an important role during full moons.
Every full moon is in the placement of one of the twelve signs and during this time, we feel emboldened by the characteristics of that particular sign. Full moons are all about release, illumination, extremes and intensity—which is why there’s plenty of folklore surrounding full moons. However, unlike what you’ve seen in literature, the full moon doesn’t always mean spooky things are going to happen. Instead, full moons can be tracked depending on the astrology sign they fall into to awaken or fulfill a facet of our lives.
