Tonight, there’s a full moon in Leo. There’s something about the moon that draws all of our eyes to it in the nighttime sky, but a full moon feels especially magnetic, as if it’s illuminating more than just the world around us—it’s shining a light within.
Although science hasn’t proven a direct connection, countless doctors and nurses report that emergency rooms—especially psychiatric wards—become busier during a full moon. We know the moon influences ocean tides, and since we’re about 60% water, it’s not unreasonable to wonder if its pull affects us too. Even the word lunacy traces back to La Luna, the moon, hinting at an ancient belief in its power over the mind and emotions.
From a spiritual perspective, you’ll find endless advice on what to do (or avoid) during a full moon. Feel free to explore the resources I’ve linked or do your own research. But after sifting through countless perspectives, what I’ve taken away is this: the full moon is a time to elevate your energy, to engage in mindful, high-vibrational activities, and to steer clear of anything that drains you.
I like to think of it as a thinning of the veil—the space between the seen and unseen, the physical and the spiritual, the conscious and the unknown. The full moon isn’t a time to reinvent yourself; it’s a time to honor who you are. To celebrate the person you’ve become and are still becoming. This is your moment on stage and your higher self is watching.
How do you plan to honor yourself this full moon and many full moons to come?
