🌛🌕Full moons happen once a month when the 🌞😎sun's rays fully illuminate the surface of the moon. The moon has no light of its own.  When the moon is shining at its brightest and fullest, we are receiving maximum light and vitality as the sun's rays bounce off the surface.While the energy of a full moon lasts for about three days before and three days after, the moon is technically only full for a moment—when the sun and the moon are directly opposite each other in the sky.While the new moon is a time to set intentions for the future, the full moon is a time of culmination and fruition.  Starting with the "dark" phase of the new moon, the lunar surface gathers light over a two week period, then manifests as a Full Moon.Full Moon Names and Dates of 2025 January – Full Wolf Moon The howlin...
