A full moon occurs when the Moon is fully illuminated as seen from Earth, opposite the Sun. Its significance across history and cultures: • Cultural & Spiritual: Marks major festivals/rituals (e.g., Mid-Autumn Festival in China, Passover, Easter timing, Vesak in Buddhism, Hindu Purnima festivals). Often seen as a time of completion, heightened energy, or spiritual power. • Mythology & Folklore: Associated with transformation (werewolves), madness (“lunacy”), fertility, and magic in many traditions. • Agriculture: Brightest night of the month; traditionally used for harvesting by moonlight (hence “Harvest Moon” in autumn). • Tides: Full moons create the strongest spring tides (with new moons) due to aligned gravitational pull of Sun and Moon. • Biological rhythms: Influences some animals’ behavior (e.g., coral spawning, nocturnal activity). Human sleep studies show slight disruptions in sleep quality around full moons. • Astronomy: Best time for casual moon observing (craters, maria very sharp); signals halfway point of the lunar cycle. In short: it’s the brightest, most visually striking lunar phase and has been a calendar marker, spiritual symbol, and natural timekeeper for millennia.

Hey unbreakable community. Hope everyone is doing well! I’ve been a bit absent from posting over the past week as I made a big move overseas. I see my life shifting in a different direction so actively working on the change. I am already feeling a bit more calm with the difference in the pace of life, outlook on life. I am currently in Portugal visiting. Hoping to make it my home sometime in the future.
