There's A Full Moon π Tonight
. . . so, if you're feeling strange, and/or the people around you are acting strange, and/or you're growing a lot of hair and fangs, that's why.
shareNo matter how many times I've anticipated it and tried to prepare, it still manages to catch me off guard . I especially notice how erratic traffic tends to become.
shareIf you seriously want to keep track of the phases of the moon, buy a book called an Ephemeris. You can find them on Amazon. They are usually sold by the decade, e.g., 2001-2010. I have one for the entire 21st century. You will want the book to be specific to your country, as moonrise will happen at different times around the globe. We astrologers depend on our ephemerides, but they are equally useful to astronomers.
shareWell, it's interesting to discover you're an astrologer. I became seriously interested in that in my 20's and studied it some.
From what I've learned of the night of the full moon, it's actually anticlimactic. It's supposedly the days just prior to and immediately afterward that are the most tumultuous.
I live in the mid-west and my front porch faces a wide expanse of western sky at night. I've viewed some magnificent displays of the moon here.
In astrological theory, issues and projects started under the New Moon are brought to completion under the Full Moon. The 48 hours before the peak of the Full Moon are a build-up, the 48 hours after the peak of the moon are a release. Tonight, the peak happened at 5:42 PM US East Coast time. I find that many people who work with the public, e.g., in law enforcement, hospitals or the hospitality industry, definitely notice a change in public behavior at the times of the moons.
shareYes, those people actively prepare for it, which gives the phenomenon significant credence.
I've also learned that storms are more prevalent during this time. Currently, 3/4 of my state is under an elevated severe weather watch.

That sounds amazing.
I love full moons. For their beauty, of course, but also because often I get an unusual burst of energy, more often than not creative energy. share
Buying a book in this day and age, for information that is readily available for free online? Hell you can even get free apps for moon phases/sets and rises. Oh you astrologers and your scams. When will it end?
