The Full Moon occurs when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the zodiac, completing approximately half of the lunar cycle. In astrology, this phase represents culmination, illumination, and emotional clarity. It is the peak of the lunar cycle, where intentions set during the New Moon come to fruition or are tested.
