Every Full Moon in 2023 and what to expect
The energetic climax of a Moon Cycle, Full Moons occur when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth in its entire polarity to the Sun. It’s a deeply spiritual time for many of us as the Moon rules over our inner selves and its astrological placement can impact the energy we feel at this time.
Full Moons are also a time of illumination, with the undercurrents and themes of the current lunation coming to the surface allowing for a moment of transformation and release. It’s also the time that the fruits of any manifestations may be ready for harvest. And of course, as the energetic peak of the current Moon Cycle, we can feel more sensitive to the world around us – emotional, angry or even invigorated.
For some of us, living in tune with the Moon Cycles and retrograde patterns brings peace and abundance – especially since 2023 brings us 13 Full Moons. For others, the Full Moon is just an opportunity to see a pretty skyscape. Either way, find here, a list of the full moons in 2023, the star sign they fall in and what to expect.
