Dear All

Hello

The moon will be at its fullest at 16-38 hours (4-38 pm).

It is placed in the astrological sign of Virgo.

A good time to deal with all aspects of health and healing and paperwork that needs more attention to detail.

Gardening and helping the environment are well favoured too.

Traditionally, this full moon is called the Storm moon.
There is a need to take more care because of the weather.

The effects of the full moon can be felt the day before and after.
Work hard to avoid confrontation.

Take care all
Very best wishes
xx

Hi Elizabeth OS,

And for the technologically minded and just in case some smarty asks the question.

If it is a full moon in Australia is it also a full moon in the united kingdom?

Of course!

Full moons are a result of the juxtaposition of the earth and the moon and the sun as the moon rotates around the earth once per month and the earth and the moon rotate around the sun together.

While it will be a full moon on the same date, it will be 12 hours later (or earlier) as Australia and the UK alternately face the moon or the sun as the earth spins on its axis.



Just to be clear: it is a bit misleading to suggest that the full moon takes place at a certain time in Australia and then it doesn't happen in the UK until several hours later. The full moon technically happens in a moment, although the full appearance of the moon lasts for the better part of a day. The difference between Australia and Europe is when the full moon is visible.


Just so you all know we will all be howling at the same moon!!

Whenever a full moon appeared, my father used to tell us to:

'Turn your siller'

(Siller is an old Scottish word for silver) meaning turn the silver money in your pocket.

Presume this was for luck ...

I find myself still repeating this old saying whenever a full moon appears.
