At new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun, so that the side of the moon facing toward us receives no direct sunlight, and is lit only by dim sunlight reflected from Earth.

In the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are switched, the Harvest Moon occurs in March and the Cold Moon is in June. According to Earthsky.org, these are common names for full moons south of the equator.

Moon Calendar: July 2023

When the moon is in its full phase, it is passing behind the Earth with respect the sun and can pass through Earth's shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. When the moon is fully inside the Earth's shadow, we see a total lunar eclipse. At other times, the moon only partially passes through the Earth's shadow in what is known as a partial, or even penumbral lunar eclipse (when the moon only skirts through the outermost region of Earth's shadow). The penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5 was a very slight lunar eclipse in which the moon passed through the outermost edge of the Earth's shadow. It was visible from South/East Europe, Much of Asia, Australia, Africa, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Antarctica. The eclipse began at 10:11 a.m. EST (1511 GMT), the maximum eclipse was reached at 12:22 p.m. EST (1722 GMT) and the penumbral eclipse ended at 2:31 p.m. EST (1931 GMT), according to TimeandDate.com. The overall duration of the eclipse was 4 hours and 18 minutes.

MOON CALENDAR 2024 Astro MOON CALENDAR 2024

The astronomical start of a season is based on the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun. More specifically, the start of each season is marked by either a solstice (for winter and summer) or an equinox (for spring and autumn). A solstice is when the Sun reaches the most southerly or northerly point in the sky, while an equinox is when the Sun passes over Earth’s equator. Because of leap years, the dates of the equinoxes and solstices can shift by a day or two over time, causing the start dates of the seasons to shift, too. February (mid-summer): Grain Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Red Moon, Wyrt Moon, Corn Moon, Dog Moon, Barley Moon Do you feel fully responsible for yourself, in your interactions with other people and towards the environment around you? What intentions and wishes can you make to adjust your sense of integrity in your daily routines? What intentions can you make for the coming Lunar moonth that will reflect your respect, concern and compassion for others and for the Earth?The winter solstice is the “shortest day” of the year, meaning the least amount of sunlight. The Sun reaches its most southern point in the sky (in the Northern Hemisphere) at local noon. After this date, the days start getting “longer,” i.e., the amount of daylight begins toincrease. The meteorological start date is based on our 12-month civil calendar and the annual temperaturecycle. You may have noticed that the first day of spring is on a different date than when you were younger. The dates actually shift over time. Why? There are several reasons, but the one that’s easy to understand is that the Sun doesn’t follow a humancalendar! The Old Farmer’s Almanac is an astronomical “calendar of the heavens,” so our book has long followed the astronomical definition of the seasons based on the Sun andEarth! What Causes theSeasons? The moon is a sphere that travels once around Earth every 27.3 days. It also takes about 27 days for the moon to rotate on its axis. So, the moon always shows us the same face; there is no single "dark side" of the moon. As the moon revolves around Earth, it is illuminated from varying angles by the sun — what we see when we look at the moon is reflected sunlight. On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, which means sometimes it rises during daylight and other times at night.

2023 - Astrocal Aries Solar Eclipse 20th April 2023 - Astrocal

A week after the new moon, the moon is 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky and is half-illuminated from our point of view — what we call first quarter because it is about a quarter of the way around Earth.Added to this, the squares between the Nodal axis points and Pluto (T Square) will put focus on the opposing tensions between present and future structural paradigms – and the champions of each. Need-for-change-Pluto will take no prisoners. He is determined to move us into an Aquarian ‘new future’ and will create events that force us to either resolve issues or lose parts of our lives that we thought were secure and constant. We will be compelled to cope, understand, learn and move on – or fail. Sudden new technologies are likely to challenge, more Truths will emerge and changing realities will force themselves into our consciousnesses. (On a personal level, this energy will be most active according to where the T square occurs in our natal charts.) This is a wonderful opportunity to make new beginnings. As we form our visions, intentions and wishes in preparation for the powerful, uncertain, and intense Lunar Month ahead, here are some suggestions: In contrast, the meteorological start of a season is based on the annual temperature cycle and the 12-month calendar. According to this definition, each season begins on the first of a particular month and lasts for three months: Spring begins on March 1, summer on June 1, autumn on September 1, and winter on December 1. Climate scientists and meteorologists created this definition to make it easier to keep records of the weather since the start of each meteorological season doesn’t change from year toyear. The rare hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 wasboth an annular "ring of fire" solar eclipse and a transition into a total solar eclipse briefly over some parts of Earth. The annular effect was visible for just a few seconds in the Indian and Pacific oceans and isn't visible anywhere on land. A total eclipse was only be visible in three locations on land, Exmouth, Western Australia, Timor Leste and West Papua.

Moon Phases 2023 – Lunar Calendar for Great Britain, England

There are eight phases in a 29.5 day lunar cycle, each representing a different point as the moon orbits the earth. Whether or not you are conscious of these phases having an effect on your mood or your routine, you can’t underestimate their power. As women, we follow a 28 day cycle so there seems to be a synchronicity there, an old magic that we don’t fully understand and yet in some way we are connected. It’s a knowledge that’s passed on through the generations, that we accept without much understanding. How many times have you slept badly around a full moon because of all the extra energy buzzing around your head?Look at the diagram below. When the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s winter in the NorthernHemisphere.

Time is adjusted for DST when applicable. They take into account refraction. Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar. Current lunation cycle is highlighted yellow. Special events are highlighted blue. Hover over events for more details. This is extreme energy, from which positive outcomes are more likely to come with careful thought and integrity. We may feel the urge to spontaneously move forward in an impulsive, Aries way without much thought! However, on the 21st, Mercury turns retrograde just a day after the New Moon which will make us pause as communications become complicated! All the astrological factors involved within this Lunar moonth are contributing to this unusually powerful opportunity for a new beginning – but we might sense that we still need space to think about the best way forward. Thank you, Mercury! He turns direct again on 15th May. If we didn’t understand the insights and attitudes we were offered on the last Aries New Moon on the 21st March, we are being presented with a second dose of Aries energy in the powerful last few hours of the sign on 20th April. The Cosmos underlines the intensity of the energy with a Grand Finale explosion of multi-coloured fireworks – a total Solar Eclipse thrown in for good measure. On the summer solstice, we enjoy the most daylight of the calendar year. The Sun reaches its most northern point in the sky (in the Northern Hemisphere) at local noon. After this date, the days start getting “shorter,” i.e., the length of daylight starts todecrease.
