Full Moon
Definition of Full Moon
When the entire face of the moon is visible from Earth, opposite the sun and unobstructed from Earth's shadow, it is considered a full moon. A full moon occurs approximately every 29 days.
The full moon rises in the east. Astrologically speaking, the full moon phase lasts less than three days. Astrologers believe that full moons are when energy peaks. Many cultures schedule their rituals and ceremonies to happen during a full moon because of this.
TERM OF THE DAY
Gibbous
When someone says the moon is gibbous, it means that more than 50% of the moon is illuminated in the sky. This happens when the moon is moving towards a full moon and after the full moon when we are approaching a new moon.
