Today's Moon Reading
With the Moon moving through Aries during a Full Moon phase, traditional astrology associates today's lunar themes with initiative, courage, and the urge to act quickly on impulse. This is a waning Moon, so in astrology that energy is generally read as settling and winding down right now.
In astrology, lunar themes are traditional and symbolic - not scientific predictions.
Understanding the Full Moon
The Full Moon occurs when the Moon is fully illuminated, opposite the Sun from Earth's point of view. In traditional astrology, this phase is often associated with culmination, illumination, heightened emotion, and things coming to a head.
