Moon Phase
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

24 December 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for December 24th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 22.62 days old and 39.64% illuminated with a tilt of -26.455°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,425.14 km and the moon sign is Libra.
The Moon phase for December 24th, 2024 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).
In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.
The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

**** This is a lovely day to socialize because you feel friendly and keen to enjoy the company of others. What’s interesting is that others are glad to see as well! (Major bonus.) Some of you are concerned for the welfare of others, especially children. Artistic projects will also appeal.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** You are noticed more than usual today. Fortunately, you make an excellent impression on others because they see you as successful, generous and warm hearted. Work-related travel is likely. The help of coworkers plus, increased physical vitality will help you to be productive today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
An easy day for most natives, however you risk ruining it with your selfishness because of course you want to make everything revolve around you.
Some sort of break up will help you rekindle with a personal habit you might have lost touch with. Fate also seems to insist on re-evaluating some of the indulging habits you might have.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are going to start this week in a great mood, uninterrupted by any nuisance and although you might be in quite a pessimistic mood, you will be surprised to notice your fears are not coming true.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
A day for revealing past matters and for understanding better what has been happening. It still remains a dynamic day so don’t expect you can hide for the whole of it because it is not going to be the case.
Other than that, for some natives this beginning of the week will be marked by taking care of children or other dependents they might have.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Some family issues might derail you from what you have had planned for this day but this doesn’t necessarily mean that you cannot still work as much as you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You are trying to maintain yourself optimistic but it seems that the amount of work that is on your head doesn’t help much either.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
A hot day for most natives, for some because of their love life going just great while for some others because of some kind of heated argument they might find themselves in the middle of.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are going to be the person called to solve all troubles today even by people from the office who you are not very close to.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This Monday is characterized by a lot of curiosity from your side, curiosity that will make you overlook certain boundaries and perhaps meddle a lot more than you should in the lives of those around.
You need to temper this tendency and maybe focus on your own hobbies and interests instead of the lives of other people.
You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
It seems that the accent falls on social relationships today and not as much on your efforts and on how well you handle things at home.
This means you will find it quite easy to interact with people although there will be significant pressure on your shoulders as well. On the other hand you will be quite disappointed by this new superficiality.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
With a little patience this day will go by and all the fears and emotions you might experience at the moment will long be gone.
However, maybe to some extend you need to go through what is now overwhelming you and maybe there are some special lessons you should be learning out of all this before you can move on.
You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You seem to be quite concerned with something that is happening to a friend of yours and even tend to exaggerate the effect this has on your own life.
Maybe you shouldn’t dramatize as much. Plus, think of how this can be interpreted by your poor troubled friend. You need to inspire them not to drag them even further down.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You need to take your health into consideration in regards to any plans you have for today as things are not going to be so simple in this area.
You also have a tendency towards spending too much and not necessarily on things you find useful. The stars will help you a bit and prevent some indulging but when it comes to protecting your body, you’ll have to do it yourself.
