I've had profound change and insight lately (past 3-4 weeks)... I'm not sure if it's the full moon or what but it's big. Life changing stuff.
A relationship I thought would work out this time around will definitely not happen. I've made other big adjustments and new commitments in my day to day life as well.
Is this all due to the Full Moon? What is a good source for more information on this phenomenon?
Thanks!

Hi, S1.
Please forgive if you are already aware of this. The lunation cycles are a continuum through our charts, with a particular house being highlighted by each New Moon [at least in the Equal or Whole Sign house systems] and sometimes planets or points in that house being aspected which then may provide additional meaning. And each lunation cycle and its meaning is connected to the next, much like the meaning of one house flows into the meaning of the next.
With that mind, I am going to go back to the mid-August New Moon in late Leo, which seeded your second house. It pointed to what you have: your possessions, your talents, your personal attributes. So the backdrop refers to all that is yours.
The Virgo New Moon's illuminating Full Moon came along at the end of August at 7 PIS , to include the symbolism of the 8th and to bring in the 2nd-8th house axis, instead of the 2nd house alone. The Pisces Full Moon's placement also strongly activated the issue of relationship, as it made a T-square to your natal Venus. Venus rules the 11th house of friends and friendship, and it rules the 4th house matters in the home. The 4th house is also the house of endings, not of life, but rather the end of matters.
About a week ago the last New Moon seeded the 3rd house of how you think. It is directly connected to the illumination of the upcoming Aries Full Moon, itself empowered by its conjunction to transiting Uranus and its simultaneous square to transiting Pluto. Transiting Uranus, bringer of insight/change and breaker of old forms, has been triggering the ruler of your 7th house, Saturn, for quite a while. The Aries New Moon will make a T-square to natal Saturn. So it is quite possible that this lunation, with its upcoming Aries New Moon, may have brought it all home to you at this time.
From a broad viewpoint, as Saturn is strongly triggered, so are the planets near the same degree in your chart, the personal ones being Mars and Venus. But even more so, because of a great interconnectedness of many planets in your chart by major planetary configurations, this lunation could represent a reworking of your life on many levels, including day to day matters, which are most certainly the domain of the Moon and its lunation cycle.
You request sources of information. I cannot refer you to materials about this specific lunation, but many other members know good sources for that. If you are interested to learn more about the symbolism of the lunation cycle, I would refer you to the classic by renowned astrologer, Dane Rudhyar, entitled
The Lunation Cycle. You also might be interested in famed Moon Astrologer Dana Gerhardt's [with a 12th house Moon] web site named Moon Circles, which has articles on the symbolism of the Moon's phases:
At her site, Under
7 Secrets to Successful Moon Practice, #3 is Honor the Four Turnings. It also tells a bit about the symbolism of the lunation cycle as well.
