Moon Phases Calendar 2020

Author: -- | Last Updated: Thu 24 Jan 2019 10:01:04 AM

Lunar cycle or the movement of the moon governs a lot of things in astrology. The change in the appearance of the moon does have a scientific ground, but in Vedic astrology too, there’s an explanation for this phenomenon. The Krishna Paksha and the Shukla Paksha are the two aspects which make the tithis change between 1 to 15. These changes in the position of Moon with respect to that of Earth are defined by a few terms like:

  1. New Moon - As the name suggests, when the Moon is visible in a small arch-like shape as if it is just born and will grow gradually, it is called New Moon day.
  2. Full Moon - When the Moon can be seen in the sky clearly and in the shape of a big ball of soothing light, it is called a Full Moon day.
  3. First Quarter - When Moon becomes a semi-circle and has traveled a quarter of its whole journey from becoming complete and invisible. The Moon is at 90 degrees from the Sun during the First Quarter.
  4. Waxing Gibbous - The next stage after a semi-circular moon and a before a full moon is called Waxing Gibbous.
  5. Waning Gibbous - Similar to Waxing Gibbous, this is the moon between a semi-circle and complete circle but when the size of Moon is decreasing instead of increasing.
  6. Last Quarter - As the first quarter is when the Moon has completed the first quarter of its journey, the last quarter is when only one-fourth of the journey is remaining i.e. the size is decreasing.
  7. Waning Crescent - When the size of the moon is increasing, an arc is visible. The same arc is visible when the moon is moving towards getting invisible in the sky. This arc is called Waning Crescent.
