Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

I am sorry for this messy Moon phase calendar but it was the only one I could find depicting the Southerner Hemisphere’s Moon Phases. If someone finds a better one please email it to ladybeltane@aol.com in the Subject line put “SH Moon Phases”. I will make sure you get credit on the next Moon phase posts for finding a good looking calendar. Thank you very much in advance for using your time to find the calendar and emailing it to me.

Today the Moon will be in a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Visit the October 2021 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase

The Waxing Crescent on October 8 has an illumination of 6%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On October 8 the Moon is 2.27 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.
