Product Information

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.

If you would like to know more about moon-mapping, this lunar calendar brings you the upcoming dates of the new moon, full moon and all of her glorious phases in between. We should also add that these beautiful moon phases are all taken from a telescope image that Holly captured herself at home! Next, the moon moves into the waning crescent phase as less than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, and the amount is decreasing. February (mid-summer): Grain Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Red Moon, Wyrt Moon, Corn Moon, Dog Moon, Barley Moon

Moon Calendar: July 2023

Because the moon's orbit around the Earth is tilted, it does not line up with Earth's shadow every month and we do not have a lunar eclipse each month. A few days later, the area of illumination continues to increase. More than half of the moon's face appears to be getting sunlight. This phase is called a waxing gibbous moon. All times are local time for Great Britain. 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. Days later, the moon has moved another quarter of the way around Earth, to the third quarter position. The sun's light is now shining on the other half of the visible face of the moon.

Moon Phases 2023 – Lunar Calendar for Great Britain, England

It’s the Earth’s tilted axis that causes the seasons. The axis is always tilted in the same direction. So, as the Earth orbits the Sun over the 12 months of the year, different parts of Earth get the Sun’s direct rays. 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). 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. On the vernal equinox, day and night are each approximately 12 hours long (with the actual time of equal day and night, in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring a few days before the vernal equinox). The Sun crosses the celestial equator going northward; it rises exactly due east and sets exactly duewest.

Full moon names often correspond to seasonal markers, so a Harvest Moon occurs at the end of the growing season, in September or October, and the Cold Moon occurs in frosty December. At least, that's how it works in the Northern Hemisphere. What intentions can you make for the coming Lunar moonth that will reflect your respect, concern and compassion for others and for the Earth? Mercury, conjunct Uranus in Taurus and sextile Mars, brings increased energy for communication on all levels, outbreaks of rebellion against unfair practices – and a change in the quality of communications. Retrograde Mercury (next day) will refuse to let unfinished matters lie, quite prepared to ‘go over old ground’ and to slow life down, forcing a re-examination of duplicitous communications until he turns direct again! Solutions that focus on human movement and the distribution of wealth and essential commodities could become more innovative. The growing gap between rich and poor, the ‘haves and have nots’, rattles cages on both sides of the political abyss and hidden corruption becomes increasingly and undeniably ‘on show’. Selfishness is less easy to hide and the demand for transparency increases. Includes a description and astrological interpretation of the months’ planetary movements written by Tchenka Jane Sunderland. Readily accessible to beginner and experienced astrologer alike, Tchenka’s lyrical writing brings the heavenly dance to life and imaginatively invokes the atmosphere created by it. An understanding of the dynamic of the starry template can help the individual to respond creatively to its tides of fortune whilst also lending a perspective of wisdom and depth to events happening in the wider world around us. 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!
