Full moons occur roughly once every month (sometimes twice - blue moons; and occasionally not at all in February, the short month). Full moons go back and forth with new moons, and every two weeks or so, we have one of them (so we have a new moon, then about two weeks later, we have a full moon, and then two weeks later, a new moon, and then two weeks later, a full moon, and on and on). Full moons occur when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in exact opposite positions in the Zodiac. The sign the full moon occurs in is the sign the Moon is in. Full moons are times of endings, culminations, and highly emotional energy. This can make full moons a challenge! They kick up our emotions, we can be overly subjective, and things can come to an end we don't want to or don't feel ready for. So, the important thing is to get ready for them! The easiest way to use a full moon properly is to focus on the house in your natal chart the full moon occurs in. The areas of life ruled by that house get amplified, and you can focus on trying to make this positive. Surviving Full Moons in the HousesFull Moon in the 1st House
The 1st house is the house of the self, so a full moon in your 1st house greatly amplifies your emotions, and you can be more outward with them. You may have a harder time than usual with logic and reason, and see everything through an emotional lens. You can be extra sensitive, and you may see results of something you don't like.
How to survive: First, you'll need an outlet for your emotions that is healthy and positive so you don't blow up on anyone, and aren't as sensitive. Then be more flexible with developments and less rigid. Be open to other avenues for results that you hadn't thought of, and try to see anything unexpected as an opportunity. And focus on what you can take control of finishing or letting go of in a productive way. Full Moon in the 2nd House
The 2nd house is the house of values and self-esteem, so a full moon in your 2nd house can make you feel more insecure. Your confidence can be easily swayed by what other people think and feel. You may connect more strongly to your values, but need to make sure you're not stubborn about it. There can also be financial developments, and you may be more indulgent than usual.
How to survive: Work on getting grounded. As you feel more grounded, this can help protect you from feeling so insecure and not care as much what other people think of you. You may also want to slow things down and give yourself permission to take your time. This likely isn't a time for you to pushy and make things go faster. Try to reconnect with the present moment and be still. As for your finances, try to be as smart as you can with decisions so you can make them logically instead of emotionally. Full Moon in the 3rd House
The 3rd house rules communication, so a full moon in your 3rd house can make you more expressive with what you feel. You may connect deeply with your ideas and plans, and may lack objectivity at times. You may struggle to feel understood, and can be more defensive with your words. You may read into what other people say a little too much, and can be easily wounded by words.
How to survive: Your head and your heart are likely connected, so try to use that to your advantage. Figure out how you really feel about certain relationships, projects, and situations, and find ways of opening up communication in a healthy way. Your mind may need you to keep busy to use up your mental energy, but your emotions also need a healthy outlet. Try to use more of your logical mind. Full Moon in the 4th House
The 4th house rules your emotions, home, and family, so a full moon in your 4th house can make you much more emotional. Everything you feel can be stronger than usual, and it can be difficult to separate yourself from such strong feelings. You can experience developments at home, with family, or that impact you at your core and make you feel more shaky internally.
How to survive: A healthy, positive outlet for your emotions is very important, and this can help you express what you feel. The most important thing though is to have a solid support system already in place. If you feel supported emotionally, you can feel even and calm. If you don't, then you can be extra sensitive and emotional. Issues in your support system may become more obvious so you can deal with them. Work on strengthening yourself internally, your internal foundation, so you're in a better position. Full Moon in the 5th House
The 5th House rules love, so a full moon in your 5th house can bring some issues in your love relationships. You may want more attention from others and not get it, or may deal with someone clingy and emotional. You may struggle with getting work done, and only want time to play.
How to survive: Make time to play as much as you can without sacrificing the things you have to get done. Prioritize what's most important so you know exactly what you need to work on. If issues pop up in relationships, this may be exposing already existing issues that need to be addressed. If you're in need of attention, try to get it from yourself, and if you're dealing with anyone clingy, ask yourself why you're putting up with it and what it is they really need. Full Moon in the 6th House
The 6th house rules work and daily life, so a full moon in your 6th house can bring challenges with your work or at work. How you really feel about the work you do can be more obvious to you, and if you hate it, those emotions can intensify. You may be more emotional in your daily life, and may take on too much that causes overwhelm. There can be extra stress that leads to feeling rundown physically.
How to survive: Try to put together a schedule and get organized so you can maximize your time, but include in that schedule blocks for time off. Don't push yourself so much you break down. If you're stressed, that's probably a clue you're pushing too hard. If you hate your work, try to either find new work you do love, or make more time in your daily life for what you do love so you can better tolerate what you don't. Full Moon in the 7th House
The 7th house rules your relationships, so a full moon in your 7th house can bring out issues in your relationships. You may be more impatient with others, and can be more emotional. But you may have to focus on others instead of yourself, and give way more than you get, which can make you feel out of balance. Chaos can cause indecisiveness and insecurity.
How to survive: Issues that come up in relationships are likely ones that have been there for a while and want to be addressed now. You can become more aware of who you really care about and who you really don't, and this can help you prioritize who you give your attention to. If you feel out of sorts and unbalanced, focus on the cause. Are you giving too much? Is there a drama person you need to avoid? Is there chaos that can be resolved with compromise, or do you need to walk away from the situation? Full Moon in the 8th House
The 8th house is a dark house showing what we hold deep within, so a full moon in your 8th house can dig up all sorts of deep emotions that you've been avoiding. Inner demons may be a little louder, and the serious stuff that you haven't worked on can make demands of you now. You can feel uncomfortable emotionally, sway between emotional extremes, and struggle with emotional control.
How to survive: This is usually your hardest full moon of the year, and it's one that usually requires you to transform in some way. The 8th house is ruled by Pluto, planet of transformation, so this is how to use the energy. It needs to be something that will last and that is done starting from the core. This may involve facing something you haven't wanted to face that seems loud now. That can be emotional, but eventually liberating. If you're swaying between extremes, it's likely you're avoiding, so stop doing that and deal with what needs to be dealt with. Full Moon in the 9th House
The 9th house rules your beliefs, so a full moon in your 9th house can make you more focused on your beliefs. You may commit to them fully, but can be preachy and condescending in that way. Or you may feel no connection to them anymore, and ditch them. You can crave much more space and freedom from others, wanting to run.
How to survive: When it comes to your beliefs, focus on the ones that jive with who you are now, and don't stress too much if that means changing them. At the same time, remain open to other people having different beliefs from you, and try not to box anyone else in. If you feel the inclination to do that, it may actually be your own insecurity and needing to convince someone else in order to subconsciously convince yourself. If you want space, try to find some within the limitations you have. Just a little bit of breathing room can help. Full Moon in the 10th House
The 10th house rules your goals, ambitions, and direction, so a full moon in your 10th house can bring developments with what you're striving for. If you haven't done things right, you can experience setbacks, delays, and failure, and this can be deeply emotional. Even if you don't, you may still be more sensitive to success and perceived failure, and hard on yourself for not yet being where you want to be.
How to survive: You need to be more patient with yourself if you're not at the destination yet. It's okay to still be on the journey, and celebrate your small wins. Recognize all you've already done to this point. If you're uncertain and emotional, you may need to change what you're working toward. If you experience setbacks, delays, and failure, this may mean you need a whole new direction or approach, or that your heart just isn't in it. If you do it right, this can be a time of progress. Full Moon in the 11th House
The 11th house rules your friends and dreams, so a full moon in the 11th house may show you worrying about your dreams or future, not as hopeful as usual, and extra emotional about it. You may be defensive with your dreams, and too wrapped up in it. You may have challenges with your friends or groups, and you can struggle with feeling connected.
How to survive: Try not to give up on your dreams at the moment. You need to get through the emotional period first so you can make logical decisions. Remind yourself of the good things you've already accomplished and of the way your dreams make you feel normally. If you're defensive, this is likely reflecting insecurity and self-doubt. What's causing that? If there are issues with friends or groups, these have likely been there all along and now require attention to be worked on, or to walk away. Full Moon in the 12th House
The 12th house is the house of endings, so a full moon in the 12th house can show a period of major endings, and this can be emotional. You may also be more aware of your subconscious motivations, desires, and issues. You may want to help others as much as you can, but sacrifice yourself as a result. The past may be an issue in some way.
How to survive: The 12th house is the house of the hidden, so try to get some time alone, to yourself, as much as you can. This can help keep you from being drained, and you can better control your emotions. It also gives you time to be introspective and better understand yourself subconsciously. Try to work on healthy boundaries with others so you're not ignoring yourself, and if any past issues come back, work on resolving them once and for all now.
