One of the great things about paying attention to moon cycles is that it allows you to connect with your own cyclical changes. I remember that at the last full moon I was experiencing a lot of strong emotions about my family (especially my sister and niece). At this full moon I'm missing them both very much and looking forward to spending Easter weekend with them.

    I spotted the infamous recent "Supermoon" last Saturday night while riding home in my sister's car with my niece asleep in the backseat.

What is a Full Moon?

If you think of the Sun and the Moon as the minute and the second-hand on the zodiac chart, like hands on a clock, then the Full Moon is the moment when the tips of the second and minute hands (the Moon and Sun) are at their most opposite points in the sky.  This happens about every 29 days, roughly once per month.
