Which constellation is the full moon usually in for each month?

From using Stellarium, which I won’t guarantee to be perfectly right for the year 1935, the full moon in December 1935 is in the constellation Gemini. It does not vary that much, because the position of Earth relative to the sun is roughly the same every year, but both Earth orbit and lunar orbit have variations over time – and 1935 is almost one century which is a long time for such changes. So, there will be variations, over the decades and centuries. Also, the day of full moon varies, as Earths period around the sun is no multiple of the lunar orbit period. I could test the data again by using Orbiter… I know it has very accurate ephemeris data for Earth & Moon, has little errors for a time period of 5000 years into past or future, but does not model precession of Earths axis… the moon would appear at the right constellation but it’s position in the sky would be wrong. But I think the Stellarium data is already accurate enough. (Full moon was on December 10, 03:10 GMT, December
