The full moon is the lunar phase in which the Moon appears fully lit up from the Earth’s perspective. This happens when the Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon, with all three in a line. In other words, the sun illuminates the entire moon. According to scientific studies, this generally happens every 29.53 days. This was the information regarding Full Moon scientifically.
Now, spiritually, it's a period of expansion and release of energies and intentions in the Universe. The Sun and the Moon are positioned opposite to each other, we can say 180 degrees apart, signifying the harmonious balance of the masculine and feminine energy, Yin and Yang. On the full Moon day, the emotions that are prevailing within us tend to get magnified, so this is a good time to be meditative and optimistic.

Now in this Lunar Calendar 2021 update, we will explain the significance of the New moon. The New Moon happens when the Moon gets positioned between the Earth and Sun. During this phenomenon, the Moon goes nearer to the Sun. With the help of the Sun's light, the opposite surface of the Moon gets illuminated, and an arch-like shape is created in the sky. This was the meaning and explanation of the New Moon scientifically.
Spiritually, as it marks the start of the Lunar cycle, it is the period of new beginnings, symbolises onset of new happenings. Individuals use this period to set new intentions, goals, organize and envision their plans. It gives us the second chance, if you have not been able to capitalise on the energy of the full moon to start all over again and achieve the fructification of their desires.
Now, in this Lunar calendar 2021 update, we will explain the significance of the First Quarter. During the first Quarter, the Moon is 90 degrees away from the Sun in the sky and is half illuminated when it is viewed from the Earth. It is called the “First Quarter” because the Moon travels about a quarter of the way around Earth since the start of the New Moon. This generally signifies decision making.
Now, in this Lunar calendar update, we will explain the significance of the Last Quarter or the third quarter, in which exactly one half of the Moon is lit up when seen from the earth and the other half is shadowed. We will see the opposite of what we see in the first quarter moon. It is generally resonated with forgiveness, letting go of any emotions, negativity that do not serve us great interest.

We must have heard of the phrase “Once in a blue Moon”, which suggests that it is a phenomenon that occurs very rarely. It is a new concept, however, the earlier one was different. In the present scenario, it is considered a Blue Moon when a Full Moon falls twice in a month. However, earlier when the Full Moon appears four times in a season, the third full Moon is known as a “Blue Moon”. As per the Lunar Calendar 2021, the Blue Moon will happen on August 22, 2021. As blue color is associated with the “Vishuddha Chakra”, the throat chakra, which is generally associated with the voice and communication. So, blue Moon generally signifies the way we communicate with others or with ourselves.
Blue Moon is considered when the full Moon occurs twice in the same month, similarly, in the case of “Balck Moon”, when additional New Moons appear in the single month or season. Sometimes, it is also explained as “No Moon in a month”. The whole year 2021, there is no supposed “Black Moon.” This was the definition of the “Black Moon” scientifically.
Now, we understand it astrologically, our deepest fears, anxieties come to us when we are in dark or night with no light, this indicates that during the Balck Moon, our deepest fears, doubts, negative emotions, past issues come on surface, which can make us emotionally sensitive and volatile. So, we should remain patient during this time and avoid taking any hasty decisions and risks. Instead, we should embrace this period as it has made us notice these issues, giving us a chance to heal them. So, this was the significance of the Black Moon.
