What Are the Moon's Phases?&Lunar phase changes

First, from the perspective of our observation of the earth, the phases of the moon are roughly divided into four stages, namely the new moon, the first quarter moon, the full moon, and the last quarter moon.

Around the 30th or the first day of the lunar month, the moon is between the sun and the earth. People on the earth just see the dark side of the moon away from the sun, so the moon cannot be seen on the earth, which is called the new moon or the north.

On the fifteenth and sixteenth of each month in the lunar calendar, the moon moves to the outside of the earth, that is, the sun and the moon are on both sides of the earth. Because there is an angle θ between the white plane and the ecliptic plane, under normal circumstances, the earth cannot block the sunlight, the bright side of the moon is all facing the earth, and people can see a bright moon, called the full moon or hope.

We can't see the moon at all during the new moon, when the full moon is when the moon is most bright, and during the first quarter and last quarter, we can only see part of the light. This change in the "appearance" of the moon reflects the changes in the positions of the three celestial bodies, the sun, the moon and the earth.

Second, from the perspective of time, the moon phase reflects the advancement of the "cycle". New moon to first quarter moon is 8 days, first quarter to full moon is 8 days, full moon to last quarter is 7 days, last quarter to new moon is 7 days, new moon-first quarter-full moon-last quarter moon is composed of four phases All around.

Third, from the perspective of the cosmic system, the laws of moon phases reflect the changing and recurring fate of everything in the universe. For example, every 19 years, the same lunar phase will appear on the same day and in the same degree as 19 years ago (for example, the new moon in January 1938 occurs on the 1st and 10 degrees Capricorn, and the new moon in January 1957. The month also occurs on the 1st, also at 10 degrees Capricorn). For another example, there are generally 12-13 full moons in a year, and there will never be exceptions. For another example, the new moon and full moon usually appear in pairs (for example, the full moon after the new moon in Aries is in the opposite sign of Libra, and the full moon after the new moon in Virgo is in the opposite sign of Pisces).

What Do The Moon Phases Mean In Astrology?

Although we now know that the moon itself cannot emit light, in the distant past, it was regarded as a luminous body like the sun. Almost all cultures regard the moon and the sun as the messenger of the gods as equally important. Almost all Legends and myths about the moon are also indispensable in human culture. In these legends, the moon represents the ocean, gestation, production, care and motherhood. In reality, the moon is indeed in charge of the earth’s tidal fluctuations, affecting the earth’s climate and physical changes; and we humans, this kind of creatures composed of more than 60% water in the body, are indeed affected by the moon both physically and psychologically. The influence of cloudy and sunny moon.

For astrologers, the planet of the moon is a stellar body (night star) that can exert a stronger effect at night. Her astrality changes with the increase or decrease of the intensity of light (in the process of increasing light from the new moon to the full moon, it is humid a warm auspicious star; it is a dry and cold star in the dimming process from the full moon to the next new moon). The process from one new moon to the next new moon is the process of energy from accumulation to blooming to the bud of death, and the process of things from germination to development and then the dust settles.

The power of the new moon and the full moon has brought infinite motivation and reveries to the astrologers. The movement and state of the moon, and the time when the new moon and full moon occurred have become the astrologers’ astrological activities (such as pushing fortune, divination, choosing Day) important objects to consider. Before and after the new moon occurs, it is a time period that is conducive to the development of new plans and new things. Therefore, every new moon, there will be people engaged in "new moon wishing" activities. This kind of wishing method does not distinguish age, constellation and gender, and only relies on the force of each new moon and the characteristics of the constellation to make a wish. To a certain extent, this kind of "following the trend" behavior is also a simple application of day-selecting astrology in people's daily life.

Usually, the period from new moon to full moon (moon surplus) is conducive to launching new plans; while from full moon to new moon (moon waning), it is conducive to release strong negative emotions and relieve emotional entanglement. The half-moon cycle from the formation of the full moon to the return to the new moon is the best period for us to "release energy", suitable for inner thinking, so as to better control our lives.
