Questions to carry

What would it mean to put your name behind the work that feels generous as well as personally true, without treating this full moon as a deadline?

In the real sky

The Moon is opposite the Sun, so the whole face turned toward Earth is lit. The exact moment is an instant; to the eye the Moon looks full for about a night either side of it.

What to look for

It rises in the east around sunset, is highest around midnight and sets in the west near sunrise. Wherever you are, the night closest to the exact moment is the one to watch.
Moonrise is the easiest moment to share: low on the horizon the Moon often looks large and orange.
Its light washes out faint stars, so this is a poor night for the Milky Way and a good one for walking without a torch.

Behind this eventExact times, positions, sources, and method

Exact instant: 2030-02-18T06:19:50.394Z
Ecliptic longitude: 149.64° · 29°38′ Leo
Fact source: transits-2030-02.json

The times of planet ingresses, stations and aspects come from NASA JPL's DE441 ephemeris, read through its Horizons service. Other instants and the positions come from the site's astronomy engine and its committed yearly and monthly sky catalogs, the same data behind the Almanac and the daily horoscopes. Times are universal time; in the Americas an instant can fall the evening before the date printed. Sign-by-sign notes, where present, use whole-sign solar houses. The readings are a tradition being applied, not a forecast. The methodology page sets out both halves.
