Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are either too stubborn and incisive or too unconvinced and you let others do it their own way. It isn’t a problem necessary in either of the attitudes if you feel comfortable with them.

The problem resides into you dwelling between these two, changing them so often and quickly that most people around you are completely confused.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Given that you are quite impulsive romantically and you are kind of dreaming for a romantic gesture, you will need to be careful not to let all this passion steer out of control.

Spell for Sunday – Ra Egyptian God of the Sun

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY OF THE SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

Set Up An Altar for Ra Egyptian God of the Sun

Setting up an altar for the god Ra is a great way to invite him into your spiritual practice and life. It creates a meeting place for you and your god to connect and communicate. Any flat surface will work such as a table, nightstand, bookshelf, counter, etc. Then add things to represent Ancient Egypt and the god Ra to your altar including: crystal pyramids, a statue of Ra, the Eye of Ra symbol, candles, incense with an incense burner, sun decor, a bowl of water, etc. Cleanse and bless your Ra altar before use.

Wearing Ra Amulets Source: otherworldlyoracle.com

Traditionally, amulets were worn by Ra worshipers to invoke their beloved deity and to show their dedication. Select an amulet that means something to you, but also reminds you of the sun god’s unique qualities. Perhaps a stone the Egyptians revered such as lapis lazuli, quartz, turquoise, or onyx. More appropriately, a sunstone would make a great Ra amulet. Cleanse your new amulet, then ask Ra to imbue his power into it. I like to set my amulets on my gods’ altars to really soak up their energy. Then wear the amulet daily or during special sacred rituals in honor of Ra.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Some Sundays are good for doing laundry and catching up for the week ahead; and some Sundays are perfect for relaxing and socializing with others. This is a playful Sunday. Plan to share good food and drink with family and friends. Sports, social outings and activities with kids will delight.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a great day to entertain at home because you’re in the mood to socialize! Invite family and friends over for a visit. You will also enjoy redecorating or tweaking your digs. (There’s nothing like company coming to get the place clean!)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Money, cash flow and shopping are on your mind today. You might also spend money on social outings, vacations, sports events and fun times with kids. This is an excellent day to socialize with others, especially because you appreciate your surroundings. (Gratitude is a wonderful thing.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Sun is in your sign today, which is invigorating and empowering; however, the placement of the Moon will encourage you to relax at home (or entertain at home) because you will feel best in familiar surroundings. Relations with family members will be friendly.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

People from your past are back in your world – no question. This is because Mercury retrograde is taking place in your sign this month. Fortunately, you’re keen to talk to others. Today in particular there is something you want to say, which is why you need to find a good listener.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a popular month. Today you might attract money to you. You might also have moneymaking ideas. You certainly will be tempted to buy beautiful things – clothing, jewelry and art. (Your sign has domain over the fine arts and haute couture.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing beautifully with Venus, which heightens your interest in the arts. You will also enjoy socializing with others, especially groups, clubs and organizations. This will include success at conferences or conventions. You’re in the zone!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Despite your desire to explore more of the world through travel or further education, today you will be happy to hide or seek out some privacy. You will feel more comfortable working alone or behind the scenes because you need a break from the busyness of everything around you. Be patient with partners.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might want to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone today to get their feedback. This might include travel plans. Or you might talk to someone different, perhaps from another culture? You’re prepared to work hard now for what you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

People notice you today. In fact, some people know personal details about your private life. (Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control.) Nevertheless, you might benefit from the wealth and resources of someone else. Meanwhile, physical sports, especially something competitive, appeal!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do something different today so that you can learn something new or discover new places. Because you have an urge to broaden your horizons today, do something to satisfy this desire for adventure. See new places and meet new faces. Ex partners and old friends are on the scene.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Viola Davis (1965) shares your birthday today. Truth matters to you. You are observant and quick to spot manipulation. You also don’t hesitate to confront others. You like to perform. Take inventory of your life this year and let go of people, places and things from the past that are held you back. Clean the slate!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You seem to have a lot of supporters, some well wishing some others ready to see you fail so you will probably feel enough confidence as to keep going and do something.

However, maybe you should choose your battles wisely and not get involved in anything just for the sake of doing something or not having people talk.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are trying to emphasize your contribution to something and the less attention people around you give you the more compelled you are to prove everyone what you did.

And this will only portray you as a show off and it will be even harder to get everyone on the right track. Therefore, maybe you should temper your outing in regard to this.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are going to act like fools in love today and probably not even people from your own family won’t be able to recognize you or understand what has gotten into you.

But the advice for you is to enjoy yourself and to let your emotions fly freely without being embarrassed by them or try to hide them if this is how you feel best.

Merry Meet Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

If I missed a post for today, I will post it on Sunday. My Sister witch Lady Rhiannon will be in town coming from Texas. Big Dawg and I have about 3 1/2 hours of paperwork to serve than we will be meeting Lady R and her husband for dinner, laughs, and walking down memory lane while making a new happy memory. So, I did the posts late Friday night, and I am tired from doing posts, working with Big Dawg, grocery shopping and cutting the lawn…huge yawn

If you want to see some information on any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with all things positive!

Blessed be.

All Signs

This week there’s good news and bad news. Let’s have dessert first. The planet Mars represents energy and ego; while Jupiter is about good fortune, wealth and expansion. When these two planets line up, it creates enthusiastic physical activity that helps us to work hard in athletics and labour. It encourages gambling because we feel confident and lucky! Now for the bad news: Mars will also be at odds with Saturn, which produces the opposite effect! This influence makes us want to proceed with caution. We might feel inadequate or held back by self-doubt or regulations. This reminds me of the barometer that my grandmother had on her living room wall. In good weather, the lady came out; and in bad weather, the man came out. Come to think of it, it also reminds me of US politics.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This will be a curious week because something will happen that makes you very enthusiastic! You’ll be keen to convince others to your way of thinking; in fact, you will do so. You might also be excited about learning something new or taking a course. Short trips will be stimulating. Plus, your plans will be ambitious. Nevertheless, intertwined with this energetic enthusiasm, coming from another direction entirely, will be an influence that makes you feel cautious and even worried. Therefore, even though this is a social, fun-loving week, something might hold you back or create feelings of doubt. It’s a mixed bag. Eat the cashews first.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

As the financial wizard of the zodiac, you are savvy when it comes to your cash flow and monetary position. This is why you’ll feel a wide range of emotions and ideas when it comes to your finances and your possessions this week. For starters, you’ll be enthusiastic and turned on about some moneymaking ideas. You might be excited because you see ways to expand your wealth. You’ll certainly work hard to do this. However, at the same time, for a different reason, something will discourage you and make you feel worried about your assets. (This column may be monitored for quality assurance.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a curious week. Mars is lined up with Jupiter in your sign, which will pump your energy and make you feel strong, vigourous and ready to work hard. (This influence is favourable for childbirth, for example.) It will help you to do physical labour and excel at physical sports. You’ll also feel confident, even cocky, which is why you might gamble and play a longshot about something. This is definitely a busy, fast-paced week! However, an entirely different influence, possibly connected with an authority figure, might discourage you or make you second-guess some of your ambitious plans. It won’t cancel out your enthusiasm. It will just add to the mix. Good luck.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Mercury retrograde is particularly difficult for you because it will trigger transportation delays, car problems, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and a general sense of confusion to your daily activities. On the upside, you will be able to finish writing and study projects and wrapping up loose details. Many of you will also be in contact with siblings, relatives and neighbours you haven’t seen for a while. You might have an increased interest in spiritual or religious matters this week. You might feel inspired by something or have renewed hope. Nevertheless, an entirely different influence might make you cautious. “I walk the line.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a popular week for you because the Sun is in your sign giving you energy as well as attracting favourable situations and people to you. In fact, your dealings with friends will be enthusiastic. You’ll be excited about fun get-togethers. In particular, groups or interactions with clubs and organizations will make you feel pumped and ready for action! Gifts and financial favours might come to you; and yet, at the same time, cheques in the mail might be late and there might be delays to financial situations. Meanwhile, dealing with the resources of others could be a problem. Do you have enough beds, food, transportation – something might be a logistical challenge.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Let’s face it, with your ruler Mercury retrograde in your sign, you can’t avoid silly goofy mistakes, misplaced items and transportation delays. At times, you have that feeling that you’re just running in circles. You might encounter ex-partners in person, online or in your dreams. Nevertheless, this is a great week to buy wardrobe goodies. In general, you will feel ambitious and confident because you see that many of your plans are coming to fruition in a positive, successful way. Furthermore, people admire you right now. Having said that, you might have difficulty dealing with a partner, spouse or close friend. They could rain on your parade or create problems for you. Cope as best you can.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a popular time for you, which means everyone wants to see your face. You’re also more active with groups and organizations than usual. Nevertheless, your desire to travel and broaden your horizons is strong this week! You need a change of scenery. Not only that, you might be enthusiastic about visiting a particular place or a country. This is an excellent week to finish a writing project or a manuscript because you have the mental energy to study, explore and communicate your ideas. However, at the same time, some kind of problem or impediment, perhaps related to your health or your job will make it difficult for you to travel or learn in the way that you really want to do. This will require juggling on your part.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

With the Sun at the top of your chart, you are high viz. now. People admire you. Meanwhile, you are running into old friends from your past, especially younger people. In fact, some of you might enjoy a romance or flirtation with someone from your checkered past. (Your sex drive is amped.) One reason you feel enthusiastic right now is you might benefit from the wealth and resources of someone else. Your partner might get a bonus or earn more, which indirectly benefits you. You might receive an inheritance or gift. Nevertheless, increased responsibilities with children might create a financial strain or challenges when dealing with your resources. Do your best to work with what you’ve got.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is an excellent time for you because you have travel opportunities and chances to expand your world. You look good to others, especially bosses and authority figures. (This is timely because some of you are encountering bosses and parents from your past.) Meanwhile, relations with partners and close friends are upbeat and enthusiastic! Either you or someone else has big plans, which are exciting. Very likely, you can act on these plans even though some kind of limitation related to a parent or your family might create obstacles that you cannot avoid. Do your best to juggle things this week. Learn from the past.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Grab every opportunity to travel for pleasure, especially some place you’ve been before because this will please you. Meanwhile, you’re pumped and eager to work hard this week because you’re enthusiastic about whatever you’re doing. It might be a particular project that is exciting. Your enthusiasm will make you give it all you’ve got. Work-related travel might be a factor. However, news from relatives or neighbours or difficulties related to transportation might create a problem for you. This could discourage you or make you feel hung up about your plans. Focus on staying positive and don’t let your worries and fears hold you back.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are up for fun times this week because Mars is lined up with Jupiter in the most fun part of your chart! It’s the perfect week for a vacation. Make an effort to socialize more than usual. Enjoy sports, fun activities with kids, entertaining outings, vacations, and anything to do with the arts or the entertainment world. Children will be a source of joy. Nevertheless, at the same time, a different influence is at play, which will create increased responsibilities with your kids or with sports and social outings. Something might be onerous. You might have to work hard to make it happen. It’s a juggling act but you can handle it. (It’s time to use your Get Out of Jail Free card.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Lots of activity where you live will make this an upbeat, active week for you. This might be due to visiting family or family reunions or meetings and get-togethers where you live. Whatever the reason, you have to stock the fridge and clean the place. (“I came, I saw, I vacuumed.”) Fortunately, all this activity will be fun and energetic; and thankfully, you have the “get up and go” to deal with it. Having said this, there will also be some problems that make you second-guess yourself or make you feel worried about something. You might not feel up to the task. You might even feel criticized or discouraged for some reason. For some of you, this could relate to ex-partners back on the scene. Don’t stand there clutching your pearls. Make the best of opportunities that are coming your way now – because you can!

Spell for Saturday – Addiction Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY COROSPONDENCES AND SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER)

(SIDE NOTE from Lady Carla Beltane: No one can stop an addiction unless they truly want to. I am speaking from experience not just quoting something I read. I have been smoking cigarettes on and off since 10 1/2 years old. I have quit numerous times including all 6 times I have been pregnant and nursing the baby and at other times in my life but as soon as I hit a rough spot the first thing, I reach for is a cigarette. Now being in my mid-sixties and wanting to see even my youngest grandchild grow into adulthood along with dancing at all 10 of my grandchildren’s weddings I am trying to quit for good. This was the furthest thing from my mind today as I was looking for a spell to share with you but as I was looking for an animal type of spell this addiction spell kind of jumped out at me. As I have written a few spells and even a couple of rituals to stop smoking along with trying herbal remedies and other ways to give up cigarettes my intentions were not as dedicated to this life changing task as I thought they were. So, I feel it is time to try what someone else has written but tweak it to fit the addiction I want to stop once and for all. One last thing – I am looking for someone else who wants to quit smoking cigarettes here in the USA, if possible, in the Central or Eastern time zones to be a quit smoking buddy or buddies. What does this entail? Just us being there for each other when the urge to smoke starts to get overwhelming to be able to call or text with each other instead of reaching for a smoke. If you are interested, please email me at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com)

Casting Directions for ‘Most Powerful Addiction Spell’

This is extremely serious work and extremely taxing. IT SHOULD BE DONE IN A PROTECTIVE CIRCLE. When dealing with addiction you’re coping with the physical, spiritual, and emotional being of the person that is afflicted. It’s an disease.

To cast your circle. Light a white candle at the middle of the area you will be working in. Take salt and do a circle big enough for you to work in in a clock wise direction. I usually start in the South. When finished with your circle call from the 4 Arch Angles Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael to protect you will be doing your job. Face South and telephone in Michael to join you. I say the name three times and wait until I feel his presence before calling in the next Angel. Telephone in Uriel facing West, Raphael facing North, and Gabriel facing East. Finish by confronting South again. You’re now ready to start the work.

Charge your Green Candle by employing the healing oil of your choice. I usually begin at the top and work my way down to the middle and then begin again at the bottom and work my way into the center charging the candle with the intention to cure. Light the candle.

Clean each and every rock with the power of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. I usually run the stone through the light of the White Candle cleansing it by Fire, utilize White Sage Smoke to cleans it by Air, Water to cleans it by Water, and Salt to cleans it by Earth.

You can consecrate each stone with the healing oil you have selected. Holding it in your hand (the one you write with) and focusing on the purpose of each stone will help charge it. I also concentrate on the person I am doing it for. Place each stone in the Green Medicine Bag when completed.

I use the Seals of King Solomon for the purpose of this bag but if you’ve got another healing seal that you prefer it can also be used. You may draw the seals on parchment with Doves Blood Ink. Make the seals small enough to fit in the bag or you may choose to set them on the bag itself.

While producing this spell I found some information on Demons that are associated with alcoholism according to King Solomon. Deception is the first named Demon and has a corresponding Angle called Lamechalal that stops its progress. Strife is the next Demon, but she is frustrated by Baruchiachel. Klothod is the third Demon but is frustrated by Marmarath. The fourth Demon was not appointed but gave a description and corresponding Angle. ” I cause men to forget their sobriety and moderation. I part them and divide them into parties; for Strife follows me hand in hand. I rend the husband from the sharer of the bed, andB children from parents, and brother.” ” I have an Angle that frustrates me, The Great Balthial.” The fifth Demon is called Power but is frustrated by Asteraoth. The sixth Demon is called Error and is frustrated by Uriel. The seventh Demon is known as Spartan and it makes people worst than they had been to begin with It’s frustrated with a Locust. I got a part of Locust jewelry for this purpose.

I would also include the names of the Angles which fight the Demons on parchment in this bag with a request to each of them to frusterate and cast out the Demons.

I’m doing this work and it’s a LONG PROCESS. The materials are often tough TO FIND but worth it. THE DEMONS WILL SENCE YOU ARE GETTING READY TO CAST THEM OUT SO BE PREPAIRED. I’ve undergone ANGER, DOUBT, all kinds of attacks while doing this work or preparing to do it. I’ve had people report FEAR because the Demons have been disturbed and know they will soon be cast out. It’s very important that the person you’re preparing this bag for continue to go to what program they are attending. THIS BAG WILL HELP THEM but there has to be effort on their part too.

August 10, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for August 10th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 6.12 days old and 31.36% illuminated with a tilt of 192.537°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,841.59 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for August 10th, 2024 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent 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. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Phase: Waxing Crescent

Moon age: 6.12 days

Moon Alert

CAUTION! Avoid shopping or making important decisions until 7 PM EDT today (4 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Libra into Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a tricky day. Check the Moon Alert (see above) if you’re thinking of spending money on anything other than food or gas. Postpone important discussions with partners and close friends for another day. Keep things light.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Issues related to your job might be delayed or problematic. You might suffer from shortages for some reason. This is a poor day to make any important purchases except for food and gas. See Moon Alert above. Just coast.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a playful, artistic, creative day! Much of this day is a Moon Alert, which is favourable for creative activities because you can think outside of the box. However, if dealing with financial matters or spending money, wait until the Moon Alert is over.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is the perfect day to cocoon at home. You might also want to entertain at home. However, do not shop for items for home (except for food) during the Moon Alert – see above. Family conversations might be frank and revealing.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a creative day that might go in a number of directions because most of this day is a Moon Alert. That means it’s a poor time to make important decisions or spend money on anything other than food and gas. However, conversations with others will be enjoyable.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might be focused on money and your belongings. This is a fine day to reorganize what you own. However, because most of this day is a Moon Alert, don’t spend money except for food and gas. Wait until the Moon Alert is over.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign; however, it’s a Moon Alert. (See above.) This is why you might feel indecisive and not sure what to do. However, a Moon Alert is a great time for creative activities. You can spend money and food or gas but wait until the alert is over to shop or make decisions.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a good day to kick back and relax. Be easy-going talking to others because some people might say something that annoys you. It happens. Don’t make a big deal about anything. When the Moon Alert is over, the Moon will move into your sign, which is empowering. (See Moon Alert above.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a great day to schmooze with others! People will be relatively laid-back and ready to socialize. However, delays, glitches and shortages are likely. This is a poor day to shop for anything other than food or gas. (See Moon Alert above.) Go with the flow.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a squirrely day because a big portion of this day is a Moon Alert, which is great for creativity and the arts, but poor for solid decision-making. During the Moon Alert, don’t spend money except for food and gas. Socialize with people from other cultures.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is an interesting day because you want a bit of adventure and some stimulation. It’s the perfect day for all kinds of creative possibilities. However, it’s a poor day to make important decisions or spend money on anything other than food and gas. (See Moon Alert above.) Learn something new!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be careful today because the Moon is in one of your Money Houses and during the Moon Alert today (see above), it’s a poor time to spend money on anything other than food and gas. However, it’s a great time to socialize and be creative.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Ryan Eggold (1984) shares your birthday today. You like to please others. You’re a persuasive, charming, energetic communicator. This is a wonderful year for you because your past efforts will now be recognized. You can expect a promotion, praise, an award, kudos – some kind of acknowledgement. Bravo! Seize new opportunities!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You seem to have a lot of supporters, some well wishing some others ready to see you fail so you will probably feel enough confidence as to keep going and do something.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This Saturday you will focus all of a sudden more on your accomplishments and on the things you actually did and you will in turn put a great pressure on yourself and on those around you who will have to listen to all your self criticism and complaints.

Don’t be that harsh on yourself because you surely have some things to be proud of.

Planet: Venus
Colors: Pink and white

Date night! As tonight is Valentine’s Day for those who celebrate or care, which I don’t because every day is the Thunderdome of love up in this house, Venus is here to help bring everyone closer…rawr. But not just romantically, friendship is for Friday too. Anything to draw more love to you is for Friday, whether it’s self-love, sexual love or even mending a rift. Fridays are my best bath days too. Not just for purification, but have you ever done a glamour? Mirror mirror on the wall. I have a friend who found out I was a witch and in the conversation, I told her about a glamour because she had a date. She looked right at me and said “You bitch. I knew there were nights you just looked too good. That’s not fair” We used to go out back when we were both single. The feminine power of Venus is also good for crafting, harvesting herbs, making potions, and just flat getting your drink on. Now we all know why I go live on Fridays. Secret is out. If I am creating a tea or anything for healing, I like to craft on a Friday. And hey, I know you don’t smoke weed, I know this; but I’m gonna get you high today, ’cause it’s Friday; you ain’t got no job… and you ain’t got shit to do. I smell Netflix and chill…. (movie reference #2).

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Crescent Phase. Best seen in the west after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. This is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. 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 August 2024 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase

The Waxing Crescent on August 10 has an illumination of 30%. 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 August 10 the Moon is 5.47 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.
