Well let's see:
"Within a week" is reasonably interpreted as including one week before and one week after the full moon. This is a two week time span. Full moons are just over four weeks apart. The two week time span around the full moon would represent about 1/2 of the time (actually, just under) in a lunar cycle, so it sounds about right
