The Full Moon in Sagittarius occurs today morning at 7:52 a.m. EDT, when the Moon opposes the Sun in Gemini. The Full Moon is an emotional time, a time of passion, fertility, and relationships, as well as a time of culmination. The Sun in Gemini urges us to give greater attention to facts and reasoning, while the Moon in Sagittarius pushes us to think more broadly and intuitively. Sagittarius represents the search for significance and for concepts that go beyond the “here and now.” Gemini is at ease in its immediate surroundings, whereas Sagittarius encourages us to expand our horizons. Neglecting either end of the axis will backfire, so find a happy medium. This Full Moon is all about communicating, having a positive attitude, and having a spirit of adventure. It forms a square with Neptune, and new information could lead to a diversion from our goals currently. We must be wary of misinformation. Its harmony with Saturn, on the other hand, helps to ground us and draws on our perseverance and will to improve. Today, Mercury’s semi-square to Chiron suggests some hesitancy in making judgments. This transit pushes us to be more sensitive in our communication.
The Moon is void from 10:59 AM EDT, when it makes its final aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), to 6:15 PM EDT, when it enters Capricorn.

Is the Full Moon a factor in human behavior?
Although there is no clear proof that the Moon has an impact on human mental and physical health, it has been observed in other organisms: corals, for example, appear to time their spawning according to the lunar cycle.
What about humans? Niall McCrae, author of The Moon and Madness, has criticized prior scientific studies that show a link between the Moon and health, but he does not rule out the possibility of a “lunar influence.”
“We can be confident that the Moon has little effect on most people’s life the most of the time, but we can’t rule out the potential that it plays a part among other environmental factors that affect our sleep, moods, and vigor, he says.
In his book The Moon, Richard Dunn states, “Convincing scientific proof that the Moon influences human biology or mental health has yet to be found.” “Nonetheless, its more visible impacts on Earth, such as light and gravity, as well as its regular cycles, have had a significant impact on how humans have lived their lives, whether through the ordering of time, navigation, or attempts to predict what the future might contain.

What does a Pisces Full Moon mean?
Each of the 12 full Moons of the year has a name originating from European or Indigenous traditions that corresponds to the events of the season. The Sturgeon Moon, for example, rises around August, which is when the enormous fish are historically harvested from the Great Lakes region.
The Harvest Moon is almost always the luminary closest to the autumn equinox. The full Moon in October is sometimes closer to the equinox than September’s, earning it the name. However, because the fall equinox occurs two days after the Full Moon this year, the Harvest Moon occurs in September.
Other names for September’s full Moon, according to the Farmer’s Almanac, include the Corn Moon (because it corresponds to the corn harvest), the Autumn Moon, the Falling Leaves Moon, and the Yellow Leaf Moon.
Each full Moon of the year takes on the personality of the zodiac sign in which it falls. The full Moon this month is in Pisces, a water sign famed for its empathetic viewpoint, dreaminess, and intuitive ability to connect with others.
In short, the full Moon in Pisces has a significant potential of making you emotional. The full Moon, on the other hand, encourages you to interact with others from a place of openness and sensitivity, rather than separating yourself.
Full Moons in Pisces are a time for giving and assisting without expecting anything in return. If you appreciate a charity or organization, now is the time to become involved, whether by volunteering, donating money if you can, or spreading the word about its mission. The full Moon, visible at the same moment all across the world, serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness. Allow your compassionate actions to be guided by that sense of community.
Astrologers also consider how other celestial motions may influence the effects of the full Moon. The presence of tender Neptune and transformative Pluto provides an opportunity for repairing old interpersonal wounds. When the lunar cycle begins on October 6 with the new Moon, you may feel ready to start over with this individual.

How are your personal and professional relationships? Being aware of your emotions will help you stay grounded and make beneficial adjustments more quickly.

May affect sleep latency
Researchers found that the full moon was associated with reduced deep sleep and higher REM (rapid eye movement) latency in a 2014 study comprising 319 participants who had been sent to a sleep center.
The time between falling asleep and entering the first stage of REM sleep is known as sleep latency. As a result, higher latency means it takes longer to reach REM sleep.
Other factors that contribute to REM sleep delay include:
May affect men and women differently
The full moon may affect sleep differently in males and females, according to a 2015 research of 205 people. When the full moon phase approaches, many ladies sleep less and have less REM sleep, whereas males have greater REM sleep.
A group of academics looked into the sleep schedules of children in 12 nations in 2016. They discovered that during the full moon phase, youngsters slept 1% less. They did not, however, discover any link between the decrease in sleep and substantial differences in behavior over that time period.
Despite the fact that many research show a link between sleep and moon cycles, not all of them do. There was no link between the full moon and changes in sleep patterns in a 2015 research of 2,125 participants.
On a full moon, why do I feel strange?
Because our brains contain a big source of water, Dutch researchers believe the Moon’s gravitational pull could have an influence on your brain, creating erratic behavior, similar to how the Moon is responsible for the ebb and flow of tides. Read more about Do Full Moons Drive People Crazy?
According to other research conducted by British experts, a full Moon may actually reduce seizure activity in epileptics. However, astronomers believe it may be related to the Moon’s brightness rather than its phases in these circumstances. Participants had fewer epileptic episodes when the Moon was shining. They relate this to the hormone melatonin, which is naturally produced in the brain when the sun sets, signaling that it is time to sleep. They believe that the brightness of the full Moon counteracts this release in epileptics, resulting in fewer seizures.
We also get a lot of complaints about headaches and migraines around the full Moon from our Facebook users. While there is no scientific evidence linking migraines to full Moons, full Moons can disrupt sleep (see #4), which affects hormone levels, producing headaches.
