what a full moon does
Emotions sit on the surface. Sleep gets measurably weirder (that's not just vibes: sleep-lab studies found shorter, shallower sleep around the full moon even with the curtains closed). Things hidden become obvious. People text their exes. The moon also changes sign every two and a half days, which flavours HOW the fullness lands: a Scorpio full moon and a Pisces full moon are different animals.
Each one above is computed to the exact instant from ephemeris maths, not scraped from a listicle, and the eclipses are worked out from sun-moon geometry at each lunation.
