March 31, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the March 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on March 31 has an illumination of 72%. 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 March 31 the Moon is 9.52 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.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you feel a bit restless, which is why you want to meet new faces, see new places and explore new ideas. Can you take a short trip? Explore your neighborhood. You might have to deal with changing dynamics at home, due to visiting guests, renovations or home improvements.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your focus is on finances and possessions today. It’s also a good day to buy wardrobe treasures for yourself, especially because in the next six weeks, you will be more direct in all your communications, which is why others will sit up and listen to you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which will heighten your emotions. However, it will also slightly improve your good luck. (Ask the universe for a favour!) You will start to work hard for your money now because you have plans to spend it!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Fiery Mars is now in your sign for six weeks, which will give you energy and vigour. (Happens once every two years.) Because you want to show the world what you can do, you will project yourself with more force! This means you will likely get the upper hand.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a good day for a heart-to-heart talk with a friend, probably a female acquaintance. Relations with authority figures are excellent because Venus is at the top of your chart. Meanwhile, in the next few weeks, be aware. If you think something fishy is going on – it is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You will start to be more aggressive, even competitive, with friends and groups you deal with. Meanwhile today, people notice you more than usual. In fact, they seem to know personal details about your private life. Personally, you want to travel and explore!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your ambition will be aroused in the next six weeks, which means you are determined to accomplish as much as possible. Meanwhile, today, you want to do something different! You want to break free of your daily routine because you want adventure and a chance to experience something new. Yes!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your interest in creative, intellectual work will increase in the next few weeks. You might also find you have to defend your beliefs. Basically, you are concentrating more energy on doing something to expand your mind. Some of you might be more involved with the law courts.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Good news! During the last several months, issues with partners and close friends have been a bit testy. You might have felt irritated with those who are close to you. You’ll be happy to hear this irritation will diminish – starting today. That’s why you can expect your relationships to improve.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Home and family are your focus now, especially family conversations and repairs. This is also a playful time. Nevertheless, today you have a strong desire to get better organized. (This is a smart thing for you to do because change is coming on the wind.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your busy pace continues! You also have a strong desire to redecorate or make where you live more attractive. This is a playful, fun-loving day. Enjoy socializing with others. You might like to invite someone home to see the changes you’ve made recently.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Money and possessions continue to be your primary focus. Fortunately, relations with others are smooth now because you are charming and diplomatic. In part, this is because you appreciate your surroundings and you feel content and optimistic. Today you’re happy to cocoon at home.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer Steven Tyler (1948) shares your birthday today. You appear to be easy-going and casual; however, you are actually intense and determined. You are honest, courageous and love to explore new situations. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to let go of what is no longer relevant in your life. Lighten up!
