Full Moons in 2025: A Year of Cosmic Significance
In astrology, full moons are seen as pivotal moments for releasing and letting go. Each full moon carries its unique energy, shaped by the surrounding celestial events.
2025 Full Moon Calendar: Lunar Eclipses and Supermoons
The year 2025 will feature 12 full moons, beginning with the Full Wolf Moon on Monday, January 13, and ending with the Full Cold Moon on Thursday, December 4. Highlights include:
- Two Lunar Eclipses: Total Lunar Eclipses (or Blood Moons) in March and September.
- Three Supermoons: Larger and brighter full moons due to the Moon's closer proximity to Earth.
The Science Behind the Full Moon
A full moon occurs approximately every 29.53 days, when the Earth lies directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Moon's surface to appear fully illuminated. This phase typically marks the midpoint of the lunar month. Most years feature 12 full moons, though occasionally 13 can occur depending on the lunar cycle.
The Moon's Influence on Earth and Culture
Beyond its glowing beauty, the Moon exerts a gravitational pull that affects Earth's tides, with the strongest influence occurring during the full moon.
Each full moon is steeped in tradition, bearing names inspired by nature and human activity throughout the year. These names stem from a blend of Native American, Colonial American, and European origins, reflecting seasonal rhythms and cultural practices.
Timing and Variations
The precise timing of full moons in 2025 is calculated in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Depending on your time zone or future changes to timekeeping laws, the dates may vary slightly.
In 2025, the full moons will not only illuminate the night sky but also offer moments to reflect, release, and align with the rhythms of the cosmos.
