Full moons and relationships
I'm so biased in posting about this.
People born under a Full Moon are generally very “you-me” oriented–drawn to partnerships almost as if to play out their own inner drama. This inner drama involves a struggle between two very different (opposite) natures represented by the Sun and Moon signs. What they feel they want, and what they feel they need, are often at odds. A long time ago, I read an astrology book (and I can’t remember which one) that stated that there are more people than average with Full Moons in their natal charts whose parents divorced. While this is not necessarily the case, experience has shown me that people born under a Full Moon perceive their parents to have very different (opposite) personalities and/or their parents gave them two distinctly different (opposite) messages growing up. Whether or not this was the case literally speaking, this is how the Full Moon person perceived the situation, and generally grew up struggling with two different “scripts”. Indecision is often a problem. Projection is often a problem as well. Guilt can be a big issue. Feedback that I have received, with my Virgo Sun in opposition to my Pisces Moon, has been on the lines of “I am never sure who I am going to meet”, but only from people who know me intimately. It should be noted that Full Moon people are rarely dramatic in the expression of these two different natures, likely because opposite signs do share common ground. These “opposite” signs, unlike side-by-side signs or signs in quincunx, share the same mode (cardinal, fixed, mutable) and masculine/feminine nature. Generally the struggle is expressed mostly on the inside and with close partners.
Those born under a Full Moon are learning about themselves through their close partnerships, and they need partners who want to be part of that process. If you’re the type of person who prefers to let things be, a Full Moon person might drive you a little nuts! They are very sensitive to fluctuations and potential conflicts in their relationships. It’s not that they are conflict-oriented exactly–in fact, their ultimate goal is to make peace–but they are constantly trying to find a healthy balance. It’s a very Libran type of energy. In fact, people born under Full Moons, even in the absence of any planets positioned in Libra, possess distinctly Libran traits in both their attraction to (or dependence upon) partnerships and their sensitivity to imbalance. Full Moon babies are negotiators and go-betweens.
People born under a Full Moon generally have a hard time deciding what it is they really want and need. Needless to say, it can be very challenging for their partners to know how to satisfy them! However, the positive side to the story is that Full Moon babies are generally very accommodating and willing to try to make things work. (And they’re usually a lot of fun!)
