Experiencing a full blood moon is like embarking on an emotional journey. As an astrology enthusiast, I eagerly await celestial events that spark transformation. March 14th brought such an event with the full blood moon, known for amplifying emotions and energies. In this post, I’ll share my personal journey and insights on how this fascinating phenomenon influenced my mood and the atmosphere around me.
What is a Full Blood Moon?
A full blood moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse. This is when the Earth passes right between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to take on a striking reddish hue this is due to Earth's atmosphere filtering out shorter-wavelength blue light, allowing longer-wavelength red and orange light to reach the lunar surface. Astrologically, this period is believed to significantly heighten emotional reactions and prompt deep self-reflection. For example, during a full moon, studies indicate that people can experience a 20% increase in emotional sensitivity, leading to a range of reactions from joy to anxiety.
My Emotional Roller Coaster
In the days leading up to the blood moon, I felt a notable emotional shift. I became more sensitive and introspective. Simple songs I usually enjoyed began to awaken memories I thought were long forgotten, and my dreams took on vivid scenes filled with symbolism.
As the full moon drew closer, this emotional wave intensified. Research has shown that lunar events can bring unresolved feelings to the surface—similar to a cosmic therapy session. I found myself reflecting on moments of the past—both joyful and painful. Instead of pushing these feelings away, I welcomed them. For instance, I revisited cherished memories of friends I had lost touch with, and I felt compelled to reach out and reconnect.
The Influence on the Environment
That night, as I gazed at the moon, the atmosphere felt charged with energy. The air was crisp, and the world around me seemed to brighten. I wondered if others felt this too. During a full blood moon, it’s common for people to connect more deeply with nature.
I noticed sounds I typically overlooked: the leaves rustled more vigorously, the howls of wolves echoed in the distance, and the stars twinkled with a newfound brilliance. Some research indicates that sleep quality may be affected during the full moon. A 2013 study observed that participants experienced reduced deep sleep and took longer to fall asleep during this lunar phase. However, subsequent studies have produced mixed results, and the exact relationship between the lunar cycle and sleep remains inconclusive.
Celestial Energy and Personal Growth
The blood moon symbolizes completion and new beginnings, making it an auspicious time for personal development. I decided to create a small ritual. I wrote down things I wished to let go of: negative thoughts, unproductive habits, and toxic relationships.
As I released these intentions into the night sky, a wave of empowerment washed over me. I felt lighter, as if the full moon was absorbing my troubles and replacing them with hope. This experience helped me appreciate that the moon not only illuminates the night but also sheds light on our paths for growth and transformation.
Reflecting on Astrological Insights
As a Cancer, ruled by the moon, the blood moon resonated with me deeply. I explored how different zodiac signs felt during this event. For some signs, heightened anxiety may have surfaced, while others found clarity and peace. This curiosity about others' experiences prompted me to conduct a mini-survey among friends. Out of 50 respondents, 70% reported feeling emotionally awakened during the full moon, while 30% felt a sense of calm.
Taking Action
Fueled by the energy of the full blood moon, I felt inspired to take action on my goals. I wrote down intentions for the coming month, focusing on what I wanted to achieve. The full moon is not only a time of endings but also a springboard for new beginnings. Writing these intentions helped me channel the moon's energy into tangible actions.
Previously, I had trouble setting goals that felt achievable. However, basking in the moonlight reminded me I wasn't alone. Many people experience similar cosmic influences that can guide their paths forward.

Reflecting on My Experience
As the blood moon began to wane, I carried with me valuable lessons about awareness, connection, and empowerment. This cosmic event became a catalyst for reflection and renewed hope.
The full blood moon on March 14th did more than just amplify my emotions; it deepened my connection to the universe and my inner self. This experience serves as a reminder to be aware of the profound insights available to us during such celestial events. As we continue in this lunar cycle, I encourage you to embrace the energies surrounding you, reflect on your emotional state, and set intentions that align with your personal growth.
Whether you are a seasoned astrology lover or just beginning your cosmic journey, remember that you can harness the full moon's energies. After all, we are all unique parts of the universe, filled with potential and light.
