Have you noticed that anything tends to be different for you around the time of the full Moon?
I've noticed that I tend to feel more on edge, more emotionally keyed up, at such times, especially during the two days or so leading up to the full Moon (such as today), though I haven't tried to research this is any particular (much less rigorous) way.
It's at times like this that I think about Donna Cunningham's book, "The Moon in Your Life: Being a Lunar Type in a Solar World." Cunningham defines a "lunar type" as someone who has any of the following: the Sun, Moon, Ascendant or several planets in Cancer; the Moon within 10 degrees of the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, or Nadir; a heavily aspected Moon, especially a Moon that is part of a major configuration (such as a T-square or grand trine); or several planets, the Sun, or the Moon in the 4th house.
Based on that definition, I would be considered a lunar type because I have a 4th-house Moon that is within 10 degrees of my Nadir and that has seven major aspects. It's part of both a T-square and a grand trine.
Are you a lunar type, too?

"the Moon within 10 degrees of the Ascendant"
With that, my husband certainly qualifies, and the full moon that just passed was a doozy for him. He was scheduled for a business trip, but thanks to various circumstances, he ended up booked on 3 different flights in succession, at one point was directed to board the wrong plane, and never got off the ground (among other incidents).
He ended up coming back home and moaning "why me?" I looked at his chart and noted that not only was the Moon full, but ME was cj the SU, both of which were exactly op his natal Neptune. A recipe for confusion for sure.
Personally, I don't qualify as a lunar type and while some lunations stand out more than others, I don't feel especially sensitized to them. So maybe there's something to that theory.
