Full Moon
The September full moon is exact on Monday, 17 September 2035 at 14:25 UTC, with the Moon in Pisces and 100% of the disc lit.
A full moon in Pisces ends a stretch of not quite knowing. Something you had been hoping about resolves one way or the other, and the relief is usually larger than the disappointment. Opposite a Virgo Sun, it is the moment the details stop mattering and the shape of the thing becomes obvious.

Dates are Universal Time (UT). A station close to midnight can fall on the previous day in the Americas and on the next day in Europe.
Monday 17 September 2035, at 14:25 UTC. That is the instant the Moon stands opposite the Sun: 100% of the disc is lit and the Moon is in Pisces. The instant is the same everywhere — only the clock reading differs.
Pisces, because at the moment of a full moon the Moon sits opposite the Sun and takes the facing sign. It advances by roughly one sign a month, so no two consecutive full moons repeat it.
14:25 UTC is Universal Time. Take five hours off for New York, add one or two for Madrid, add ten or eleven for Sydney. When the instant falls near midnight your local date lands a day either side of 17 September 2035.
17 October 2035, in Aries. Two full moons are 29 or 30 days apart, so the next one normally falls in the following calendar month; the table above lists every full moon of 2035.
Finish rather than begin: settle the debt, return what you borrowed, send the thing sitting in drafts. The disc reads full to the eye for about a day either side of 14:25 UTC on 17 September 2035, and practice allows that whole window. Starting things belongs to the new moon a fortnight later.
