The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Gibbous. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with an illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9pm and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning.

Visit the October 2024 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Gibbous Phase

The Waning Gibbous on October 20 has an illumination of 85%. 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 20 the Moon is 18.45 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.

October 19, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 19th, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 15.88 days old and 97.06% illuminated with a tilt of -72.569°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 360,490.91 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for October 19th, 2024 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).

The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.

During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.

Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

October 17, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 13.81 days old and 99.28% illuminated with a tilt of 114.443°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 357,239.89 km and the moon sign is Aries.

The Moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

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.

October 15, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 15th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 12.77 days old and 95.51% illuminated with a tilt of 106.869°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 358,735.70 km and the moon sign is Pisces.

The Moon phase for October 15th, 2024 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

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 word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

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.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on October 14 has an illumination of 89%. 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 14 the Moon is 11.56 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.

October 13, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 13th, 2024 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 10.7 days old and 80.01% illuminated with a tilt of 105.579°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 366,896.23 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.

The Moon phase for October 13th, 2024 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).

In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.

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 word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

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

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 10th, 2024 is the First Quarter phase.

On this day, the moon is 7.58 days old and 47.51% illuminated with a tilt of 117.237°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 384,694.40 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for October 10th, 2024 is the First Quarter phase. In this phase, exactly half of the moon is illuminated and half is in darkness.

The First Quarter phase comes roughly 7 days after the New Moon and this is when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around the Earth (hence the name, First Quarter). The moon will be high overhead at sunset in this phase and will be visible until mid-night, when it sets in the west.

The First Quarter of the moon phase cycle happens on one day. It’s followed by the intermediate phase, Waxing Gibbous, and will become more illuminated every day until it reaches the Full Moon phase.

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: if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon will be illuminated during the First Quarter. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the left side is illuminated.

October 9, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 9th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 6.54 days old and 36.89% illuminated with a tilt of 124.024°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 390,213.11 km and the moon sign is Capricorn.

The Moon phase for October 9th, 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.

Moon Alert

After 6 AM EDT today (3 AM PDT) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

 It’s important to know you’re high viz. today. People notice you more than usual; and some know personal details about your private life. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. A partner or close friend might have helpful input.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

 Today you want more out of life! You need to push the boundaries. Obviously, if you can travel somewhere new, this will satisfy your desire for change. However, if you can’t travel, you can still be a tourist in your own neighbourhood. Shake things up a little!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

 Even though this is a playful time, you’re working hard. Focus on banking details and matters related to shared property, inheritances, insurance and shared responsibilities. Coworkers are supportive. Enjoy the company of younger people.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

 Today you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This means you have to compromise with someone, perhaps a partner or close friend. This is no big deal; but be aware that this is the operative energy today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

 You might have to put the considerations of someone else before your own today because an element of service is present: Service to family, service to community – whatever. You might also focus on a pet or your health today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

 Today you need to be yourself – who you really are. This is why you might project yourself more emotionally than usual. Some might not like this. Too bad. You might also feel protective or nurturing to others, especially children.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

 This is a good day to retire by yourself to your own private place. You need time to relax and ponder your navel and think about life. You might also have a significant family discussion with a female relative. It’s a good time to be aware of your habits.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

 Today your communications with others are important. You feel that you have something to say and you hope someone will listen and understand your words. You don’t want to waste time in superficial chitchat about the weather. You want to be heard. Group discussions will also appeal.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

 It’s easy to identify with your possessions today because you have the feeling that you are what you own. You might also feel attached to something that you own and not want to lend it to anyone or let them use it. This is not an ideal frame of mind for you to shop or spend money on expensive items.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

 Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you feel subjective and highly emotional. Be careful about having a knee-jerk reaction to something that someone says. However, when the Moon is in your sign, which occurs for 2 1/2 days every month – your luck improves! Bonus!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

 Today your privacy matters to you. In fact, you’re tempted to withdraw from the busyness of everything around you and seek some solitude in beautiful surroundings. (Naturally, with good food and drink.) You might also want to explore some kind of mystical or spiritual discipline that interests you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

 Today time spent with a friend will be meaningful and important to you. In fact, someone might say something that touches you or makes you feel that you’re having a deeper bond with them – something meaningful. This is why you might feel protective and caring.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Supermodel Bella Hadid (1996) shares your birthday today. You are sincere with others. Order and harmony are important you; and you work hard at your career. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which is why it’s time to let go of people, places and things from the past that have held you back.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You might want to keep your personal life personal and try to stave off the interest, especially that of people in your family.

Although they might appear to only carry the best of intentions, you might later find them to be either gossipy or too judgmental. Although you do want to get some things off your chest, this situation might be more trouble than it’s worth.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Quite a promising day ahead, especially when it comes to love as you are doing all you can to be in the grace of your loved one.

Single natives especially are going to benefit most from inspiration and all kinds of ideas which will in turn get them closer to what they are actually after. Spend some time outdoors as well to clear your mind.

You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Outside personal relations you are not doing that well so if it were to give you an advice for the day that would be to avoid at all costs being on your own.

Your thoughts are not that flattering and can quickly get you down but the more time you spend with other people, the easier you find it to socialize with them and forget about your troubles.

You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Everything will be judged in terms of rivalry and games today as you are highly competitive and although not everyone views a certain thing as a challenge for you it’s actually a big fight.

While some people might enter this game of yours, other might actually feel offended. So be very careful how you interpret signals from those around.

You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Work and certain obligations are going to keep you from taking time off during the next period and you might even feel as if these are not ever ending.

This will contribute to the bad temper you might have already been nurturing somehow. Interesting to see what is going to happen next, especially if you don’t let anyone help you.

You can also read this special Leo Daily Horoscope.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You will have to work seriously hard for anything you want to accomplish today because nothing will come on a plate for you given the current disposition.

At the same time it seems that this will teach you a lesson and will probably make you feel better about yourself when it comes to acknowledging what you did for what results.

You can also read this special Virgo Daily Horoscope.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Quite a dramatic day ahead but only because you want it like this. Although the stars favor your mind and activities that have you thinking ahead, you prefer to be lazy and to choose the short road.

This will in turn deny some pleasures for you and it will probably take you a while to figure this out and when you will, it will be too late to gain back the time.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Quite a challenging day ahead as you might have to do some preparations, something which will probably involve shopping and running around the whole day with errands.

This will get you so tired and fed up that you won’t even be able to rest properly so maybe you should be careful, especially, to how you perceive this mentally.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a great day for dreaming and for making plans and although most of them will probably be too out of hand to ever come true, it is your right to keep dreaming.

At the same time you are quite receptive towards the opinions and problems of those around and you will probably win the title of the most generous person around.

You can also read this special Sagittarius Daily Horoscope.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This Wednesday your words are going to be more powerful than you can imagine and are surely going to leave an interesting in print.

At the same time you are also surfacing as a very interesting person to someone who might have not given you enough attention to this point. Interesting to see how this will unravel.

You can also read this special Capricorn Daily Horoscope.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This might be quite a revealing day in terms of what others are expecting from you but also a great occasion for you to analyze your own behavior.

You are way more receptive to what’s going on around but maybe you are not showing enough interest and maybe you should intensify the way you appear in front of other people.

You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It seems that you are going to benefit from the cooperation of those around you for your plans, whether they are personal or last minute work things that you want to achieve.

What it is expected from you though and what you might find as most challenging is the fact that you will need to be patient with certain people.

October 7, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for October 7th, 2024 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 4.46 days old and 18.65% illuminated with a tilt of 138.98°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 398,970.32 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.

The Moon phase for October 7th, 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.

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 October 2024 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase

The Waxing Crescent on October 4 has an illumination of 3%. 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 4 the Moon is 1.53 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.

October 3, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 0.34 days old and 0.28% illuminated with a tilt of 161.779°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 406,412.96 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for today 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.
