Do Full Moons Always Cause Breakups?

Full moons are notorious for making people feel emotionally everywhere and blurring out the things they are most offended by other people. Because of that, Full Moons is also representative of “endings” in astrology, including (sorry!) Breakups and falling-outs.

However, this myth could not progress further from the truth. As a professional astrologer for over a decade, I have noticed that during the full moon more people than any other person want to work on the current issues in their relationships. Why? Because the Moon represents our emotional truth. More often than not, people declare some intense-ace things for their boo during this time.


The full moon allows us to take a deep dip and speak from the heart – without a filter. If there is growing hostility between a couple, they usually want to listen to problems and work through them at this time. Truth comes naturally and people do not back down.

In the days leading up to the full moon, there is usually an inhibitor that is between us and our partner. At this time, we can feel lunar pressure to exacerbate emotional situations. Do not stress! Calm down tf! Understand that the current cosmic thermometer is pushing us to be extra with our desires. Meaning, we think we have to bring our relationships to ASAP- or GTFO levels. This tension is felt even before the full moon, so if there was a big fight between you and the bae last week, now you know why!

Full Moon is actually a time when people want to work on a relationship drama. Remember, this shining sheds a bright glow on the earth, which actually makes us see situations and people more clearly. Don’t forget, in astrology the moon is a part of ourselves that we cannot express. So when the moon flickers a luminescent on this part of itself, we can open up because we think our S.O. (No decision) – and vice versa. We are a little more emotionally intelligent right now and are able to see how much someone really cares about us.

So, yes, full moons technically mark the “end”, but not in the way we think. By helping us see the relationship from a deeper and clearer perspective, the moon ends the play and increases our commitments. Of course, if the issues cannot be fixed, there will be a breakup, but then you at least know for sure that it was the best. Full Moon is just here to make us work hard on the matters of our heart – and they do not deserve the ominous reputation they have.
