This plus arthritis is what I and others deal with daily. Just because we don’t always need to use a cane or wheelchair or other mobility devices does not mean we do not have a disability. Weather changes really put me in a fibro flare which makes it hard to type and do a lot of other things. I will post as much as I can daily including things about Samhain for the northern hemisphere and Beltane for the southern hemisphere.
…The Moon phase for October 19th, 2025 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.
