An excerpt

The Full Moon throws the spotlight on your relationships and makes mountains out of molehills.

Can any teacher explain the meaning of the sentence above. Thanks.

This appears to be something from a horoscope page in a daily paper! There is (or will soon be) a full moon. Its brightness will illuminate things (like a spotlight illuminates an actor in a theatre), in particular your relationships with other people, for example, your relationship with your spouse, your friends, and so on.

  • This appears to be something from a horoscope page in a daily paper!
  • There is (or will soon be) a full moon.
  • Its brightness will illuminate things (like a spotlight illuminates an actor in a theatre), in particular your relationships with other people, for example, your relationship with your spouse, your friends, and so on.
  • This bright light will make small, insignificant things seem very large and important.
  • This is just an effect of lighting, of course, and those small, insignificant things will remain small and insignificant.
