When to post a New Moon or Full Moon Post

Most of my content, for about the past two years, has been reblogged. Through a near “accident” (wondering what WordPress could do and testing different options) I transformed my blog into a “content aggregator blog.” The decision was the correct one for me though it requires hours a day to maintain.
That said, I see a huge variety in the timing of posts for a lunation (Full Moon or New Moon). Having watched this process for about 50 lunations or more, I have some observations:
- If you are not interested in “click through” from reblogs by someone like me, time your posts for 24 to 48 hours before the lunation. Less than 24 hours, and you have lost your audience. They have gone out to play, and they are no longer interested in what you have to say.
- If you want the benefit of reblogs, as well as the full attention of your audience, time your posts about 48 to 72 hours out. You will capture about 24 to 48 hours of audience, and my reblogs will capture the rest. Your click through rate will tell you how interested people are in your particular way of analyzing and describing the upcoming lunation (as well as providing useful solutions to the many who seek those).
- From my vantage point, I can see clear “winners” and “losers” in terms of who gets readership. If you want to see who the top five were for this Full Moon (October 15/16), check the links at the bottom of my page for the Full Moon. The order has been randomized to obscure who was “#1” and who was “#2” and so forth. But these five had nearly as much traffic as everyone else combined. (OK, my page did well, too. But I am taking myself out of the mix since I cannot evaluate myself neutrally.) See, also: Full Moon of October 2016.
As an example, here are my stats leading up to the Full Moon of October 15/16 (Saturday night, and weekend Full Moons are almost always the busiest in terms of traffic):

Note how *SLOW* the “day of” the Full Moon traffic is compared to the previous two days!
“Setting Intentions” with the Full Moon

“Setting Intentions” with the Full Moon
by Ruby
This is an opportune time to ask the Universe for new beginnings. To bless and release whatever you need to let go of, and do away with, and what doesn’t serve you. The intentions that are set during a“Full Moon”will set you on the right path towards your hopes, wishes, and desires,
During the full moon, we often experience an energy shift. So we must release the old energies to be open for the new energies that will be coming in.
What to Release under a Full Moon:
* Lower energies
* Negative patterns or bad habits
* Unhealthy situations or relationships
Have a conversation with the Universe (meaning your higher power, Guides, Angels, etc), and ask the “Full Moon” to help illuminate the path that leads you towards your deepest desires. Simply ask to be led to what…

Fiery Full Moon in Aries
October 15, 2016 at 1:13 pm | Posted in Astrology | 2 CommentsTags: Astrology
October 16, 2016 there will be a full moon in Aries. Exact around 12:23 a.m. EDT, give or take. The sun is still in Libra, a cardinal air sign. It is the sign of diplomacy and finding a way to work together. Aries is the sign of the self – the “I.” It’s also a cardinal fire sign. It likes to start things, get things moving, charge ahead. Sometimes, without thinking things through.
Uranus will also be opposite the full moon. Uranus is the planet of sudden changes, unpredictable surprises, shifts from out of nowhere, rebellion and revolution. There’s an element of surprise and sudden change with this full moon.
This weekend may be a bit tense. Full moons, no matter the sign or position or other planetary transits, tend to bring with them endings and change. But when Uranus is involved – expect the unexpected. Be ready…

A Look at the Aries Full Moon Energy
October 15, 2016 at 1:12 pm | Posted in Astrology | Comments Off on A Look at the Aries Full Moon EnergyTags: Astrology
The Aries Full Moon window is open! Exact at 9:23PM PDT on October 15th with the moon (our emotions) conjunct Uranus (the erratic, unpredictable change-maker) and Eris (named after the Greek goddess of discord and strife) in headstrong Aries opposite the shining Sun in fairness and balance seeking Libra.
That in and of itself is interesting enough, however add in dynamic tension with Pluto (death and rebirth) and passionate, warrior Mars in make-it-happen Capricorn creating a square to both the Sun and the Moon. We balance this energy by actively doing something transformative. If you haven’t already done it, now is the perfect time to “clean out your closets” in preparation for the next stage of your growth.
Where I live, the energetic Aries Full Moon will be dramatically punctuated by a big rain and wind storm, which I find apt and very interesting.
We have had enormous opportunity to…

BREAK FREE : Full Moon in ARIES
October 15, 2016 at 1:11 pm | Posted in Astrology | Comments Off on BREAK FREE : Full Moon in ARIES
The Full Moon brings to the surface our instinctual, emotional truth…like sea life drawn to the surface of the water by lunar light.
Look for the fruition of seeds planted 6 months ago on the ARIES New Moon. What were you dreaming of, or planning for then? What is your harvest looking like now?
For your revision, this was the post for the New Moon in ARIES…
FEEL THE FEAR & DO IT ANYWAY : New Moon ARIES
At Full Moons the polarity of the opposite sign, in this case, the Sun in LIBRA, comes into play.
We need to balance the Sun, the Ego principle, which is our interface with this this material world, with our emotional and instinctual, less rational side. Experience doesn’t have to make sense to be meaningful, as long as it’s meaningful and heart felt for you personally.
SOLO WOMAN/MAN VS 2 for TEA

Full of CHANGE Moon in Aries -Oct15&16
October 15, 2016 at 1:07 pm | Posted in Astrology | 2 Comments
Snapshot: Saturday is a very powerful day! From the shocking clarity early in the morning, to the suspicious expressions as we move into the Full Moon which will shake-up our emotions and show us another path to freedom and relating. But by Sunday morning we will be magically putting some new structures in place to support our changed emotions and relating-ships.
At 6:43am Saturday morning, the Sun at 22:30 Libra Opposes Uranus Retrograde at 22:30 Aries.
We may have been sleeping (or awake for those in the Eastern Hemisphere), but the clarifying revelations were shooting through to surprise us an show us something in a new light. Uranus in Aries is about finding our personal path (Aries) to freedom (Uranus). The Sun in Libra is helping us to relate more and through our relating we can become clearer about ourselves. This Opposition showed us a contrast between our own drives…

Full Falling Leaf SuperMoon 2016
October 15, 2016 at 1:06 pm | Posted in Astrology | Comments Off on Full Falling Leaf SuperMoon 2016
The Moon orbits Earth in an elliptical orbit, hence the distance of the Moon from the Earth varies, throughout the year, between 363,396 km at its Perigee and 405,504 km at its Apogee. The term ’SuperMoon’ was coined by an astrologer, Richard Nolle roughly 30 years ago. He defined the ’SuperMoon’ as ‘… a new or a full Moon that occurs when the Moon is at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in its orbit’. As Nolle is an astrologer, most astronomers prefer using the term ’Perigee Full Moon’ rather than this one. The next three Full Moons – in October, November and December – all are qualified as ’SuperMoons’.
Some Native American tribes referred to October’s Full Moon as the ’Full Hunter’s Moon’ as it was the time to go hunting in preparation for winter. This full Moon is also called the ’Travel Moon’, the…

Full Moon in Aries – October 16, 2016
October 15, 2016 at 1:04 pm | Posted in Astrology | Comments Off on Full Moon in Aries – October 16, 2016
I love Aries energy; the fiery, impulsive sign is associated with drive, personal power, and general gumption (I also have three natal planets in Aries, so I might be biased). As the first sign of the zodiac, it has direct ties to new beginnings and new passions. With winter approaching and the year almost done, our energy is becoming refreshed and restored. What a perfect time for us to examine what we’ve worked for throughout this year and use this energy to push ourselves forward into the new and next.
We’ll be impulsive, ego-driven and rebellious this full moon!
The Aries Moon is conjunct Uranus, so we’re picking up on all kinds of powerful energy related to the Aries sign and planet Uranus. This is an interplay that makes us a little impatient and quite resistant to authority and other forces that seek to control us. It’s very important for…

“How does the ‘Full Moon’ affect you, and how do you utilize its potent energy?”
During a ‘Full Moon’ you have an opportunity to bring about some positive changes in your life if you use its energy wisely.
