Full Moon Dates 2024: The full moon has captivated human imagination since time immemorial. This celestial body, brightening up the night sky, has been a constant in our lives, weaving itself into the very rhythm of life on Earth. From agricultural calendars, to spiritual practices, to religious festivals, the full Moon's regular appearance serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of time.


Historically, full moons were crucial for early agricultural societies that relied on lunar cycles to decide sowing and harvesting times. In a world without modern technology, the phases of the Moon served as a celestial clock, and were used in navigation and timekeeping. 


Culturally, the full Moon has been the muse for poets and the subject of countless stories, symbolising everything from romance and fertility to madness and mystery.


In one calendar year, you can see at least 12 full Moon nights. Each full Moon, appearing full for about three days, carries its own unique charm and name.
