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

Cernunnos’ Abundance Prayer

Light a green candle during this prayer to Cernunnos

Incense for Cernunnos: Cedar, Musk, Pine, Sandalwood.

Offerings to Cernnunos: Bones, Fruit, Grains, Red meat, Wine, Milk, Water, Moss, Fresh soil.

The Celtic Forest God, Cernunnos, gets his name from a Latin word which means “the horned one”. His original name was lost but the name Cernunnos was inscribed in the Pilier des Nautes, a Gaelic-Roman monument found under the Notre Dame cathedral, in Paris, France in 1711.

As a Horned God, he can take the place of consort of the Goddess in the Wiccan Pantheon (God and Goddess). And as a primordial deity in Neopagan traditions, his male principality makes him often be merged with other gods such as Pan and the Green Man.

He is believed to be the god of abundance and ruler of wild animals. His nature is essentially earthly. He is usually depicted with the ears and horns of a deer and wearing a “torque”, the sacred neck ornament of Celtic gods and heroes.

Devotional text

Cernunnos, Guardian of the cauldron of plenty, I call to You.
Horned One, Dark One, Receiver of the Dead, Granter of Rest, I call to You.
God of freedom, God of sexuality, God of cleansing, God of rebirth, I call to You.
Mighty Lord of the Woods and Animals, Hunter and Hunted, I call to You.

I pray you to be present with me in this Sacred Space.
Let Your gaze fall upon this Sacred Ground.
In-dwell my rite and give me Your blessing.
Great Horned One, come into the Circle!

Pour over me the gift of your wealth, and place in my hands the spirit of fortune.
Let the gold and silver come from the four corners of the world and bless me.

Because you are a god that creates and multiplies,
From the top of my head to the soles of my feet,
Surround me with a stream of wealth.
Unleash your prosperity and let health and protection accompany me.

I hear your words, Cernunnos, the voice of the Horned One,  Whose names are uncountable:
You are the wild hunter of the forest deep,
You are the fire upon the hill, And the sower of the seed,

The wilderness is your shrine.
You wield the oaken staff, the elements at your call.
By day you are the sun, by night you ride upon the wild winds
For all things wild and free are in your keeping.

And all things of beauty and freedom and love delight you.
You are the Ancient One. Your faces outnumber the stars.
I am the Horned One of uncountable names, you are the gentle and the fierce
You are Cernunnos, the Ancient One, Lord and Sire of the Universe.

Planet: Jupiter
Colors: Blue and Metallic

Ahhh Jupiter, you giant dick. While he is the go-to for power, money and good fortune, he’s about the long game. Fast money? Nope. He will give you more of what you have, so if you’re broke, you may be even more impoverished if you use any of his influence. Be careful with them herbs. Looking for justice? Thursday. Signing contracts or making big money moves? Thursday. Abundance looks different to everyone, but this is the day of plenty….sometimes that is just plenty of what you already have man. I’m serious here. My money spells done in the past before I got my shit together created lasting wounds. Expansion is painful when it comes from a space of lack. I said “I need money! I am broke” and he said “Hold my beer you desperate witch” and then I cried. Great money day if you are attracting what you are, but not what you want. I speak from my own experience and yours may differ, but if your money spells have backfired, look at the day and associations. If you see anything, take note. Everyone is different but I am not even ashamed to say that it took me years to figure this one out for my own magic. Good day for court and child support I must say.

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

Energy Building: Quick Chant to Manifest your Need

Want to help your need manifest faster? The key to helping your spells and intentions manifest faster is to have emotion and energy behind the intent! One of our favorite ways to raise energy, aside from drumming and dancing, is chanting! The elements are used heavily within this charm because they are the building blocks of existence on our plane.

This quick chant will help you find the rhythm of your circle’s energy, harness it, and add it to your spell. Simply:

  1. Begin chanting the following chant plus your spell.
  2. Feel the elemental building blocks of energy inside of your space.
  3. Know that they are aiding in your spell’s manifestation!
  4. When you feel the speed and energy of the chant mounting, dare to be silent and know that the charm has worked.

Quick Chant to Manifest your Need

This chant can be said with visualization or by passing your written spell over and through the elements as you say them. Always follow your heart and intuition.

As always, spells are worked best within a protective circle where energy can be contained and released intentionally.

Air for intellect

Fire to warm

Water for emotion

Earth to form

[Say your spell or intention for manifestation here]

Repeat as necessary.

  • Aloes:

General: Aloes are indigenous to East and South Africa, but have been introduced into the West Indies (where they are extensively cultivated) and into tropical countries, and will even flourish in the countries bordering on the Mediterranean. The drug Aloes consists of the liquid exuded from the transversely-cut bases of the leaves.

Medicinal Use: The drug Aloes is one of the safest and best warm and stimulating purgatives to persons of sedentary habits and phlegmatic constitutions. An ordinary small dose takes from 15 to 18 hours to produce an effect. Its action is exerted mainly on the large intestine, for which reason, also it is useful as a vermifuge. Its use, however, is said to induce Piles. From the Chemist and Druggist (July 22, 1922):

‘Aloes, strychnine and belladonna in pill form was criticized by Dr. Bernard Fautus in a paper read before the Chicago branch of the American Pharmaceutical Society. He pointed out that when given at the same time they cannot possibly act together because of the different speed and duration of the three agents. Aloin is slow in action, requiring from 10 to 12 hours. Strychnine and Atropine, on the other hand, are rapidly absorbed, and have but a brief duration of action.’

Aloes was employed by the ancients and was known to the Greeks as a production of the island of Socotra as early as the fourth century B.C. The drug was used by Dioscorides, Celsus and Pliny, as well as by the later Greek and Arabian physicians, though it is not mentioned either by Hippocrates or Theophrastus.

Spiritual Use: The word Aloes, in Latin Lignum Aloes, is used in the Bible and in many ancient writings to designate a substance totally distinct from the modern Aloes, namely the resinous wood of Aquilaria agallocha, a large tree growing in the Malayan Peninsula. Its wood constituted a drug which was, down to the beginning of the present century, generally valued for use as incense, but now is esteemed only in the East. The Mahometans, especially those in Egypt, regard the Aloe as a religious symbol, and the Mussulman who has made a pilgrimage to the shrine of the Prophet is entitled to hang the Aloe over his doorway. The Mahometans also believe that this holy symbol protects a householder from any malign influence. In Cairo, the Jews also adopt the practice of hanging up the Aloe. In the neighbourhood of Mecca, at the extremity of every grave, on a spot facing the epitaph, Burckhardt found planted a low shrubby species of Aloe whose Arabic name, saber, signifies patience. This plant is evergreen and requires very little water. Its name refers to the waiting-time between the burial and the resurrection morning.

Daisy Source: uniguide.com

Daisy flower meaning and symbolism includes new beginnings, hope, innocence, fun, affection, and other sweet attributes. Daisies are part of the Asteraceae family of flowers, which includes over 32,000 species. Because of their popularity and the fact that daisies can be found on every continent except Antarctica, they are subjects in the mythology and folklore of many cultures around the world. This post will include some of those stories, as well as daisy color and spiritual meanings.

(As a side note, sunflowers are also part of the aster family of flowers, but because they are so distinct and have slightly different meanings, I wrote a separate post on sunflower meanings that you can read here.

“I keep stars in my pockets and wear daisies in my hair but I tuck you tenderly in the folds of my heart and take you everywhere.”
– Melody Lee

What does a daisy symbolize?

Here’s a quick list of what daisies symbolize. We’ll go into more detail on these throughout this post:

New Beginnings

Hope

Innocence

Fertility

Motherhood

Fun

Affection

Fidelity

Stardust

Daisy Symbolism: New Beginnings

Around the world daisy flowers are symbols of new beginnings. Blooming in spring, these charming flowers remind us of fresh starts, sunshine, and renewal. Because of this, they are often given as gifts or planted to welcome new babies into the world.

The name “daisy” actually comes from an Old English term that translates to “day’s eye.” The reason is that, like lotus flowers, daisies open up in the morning to take in the day’s sunshine and then close up again in the evening. So, the daisy reminds us that with each day, there is an opportunity to begin again.

Hope

Because they symbolize new beginnings, daisy flowers are also symbols of hope. They remind us that hope is one of the most powerful tools we have for manifesting better outcomes and a better world. Even disappointments can bring new opportunities. As the saying goes, “When one door closes and another one opens.”

Daisy Meaning: Innocence

As they are symbols of new beginnings and hope, daisy and aster flower meaning is also associated with innocence. As a result, these special flowers are representative of babies and children.

It’s important to keep in mind that innocence can apply to adults too. In this way, daisy meaning is akin to what the Buddhists describe as “having a beginner’s mind.” It means to embody a way of being and an approach to life and situations with the curiosity and enthusiasm of a child. This way, you benefit from having a fresh perspective.

Fertility and Motherhood

Just as they are associated with springtime, newborns and babies, daisies also symbolize fertility and motherhood. In fact, as you’ll read about later in this post, daisy flowers were associated with the Norse goddess Freya, who was a fertility goddess.

Daisy Symbolism: Fun

There is an easy-breezy aspect to daisy flowers. They bloom in spring, when nature is waking up, and they grow easily in a variety of conditions. Not to mention, these flowers are easy to draw. In fact, they were probably the first flowers that many of us drew as kids.

As daisies are associated with children, they are also associated with fun and lightheartedness. After all, children naturally love to laugh and have a good time.

Affection

How many of us have plucked the petals of a daisy as we played the game “He loves me, he loves me not” or “She loves me, she loves me not”? Because daisies grow easily in many locations, they are often the wildflowers picked spontaneously for a bouquet to give to someone you have a crush on. Thus, daisy flower meaning also includes affection and love.

In fact, in Victorian England, where flower symbolism was a popular pastime, giving daisies to someone meant that you returned their affection.

Daisy Meaning: Fidelity

Many of us have made daisy chains by connecting the stems of daisies together. This pastime goes back hundreds of years, to a time when daisy chains were worn as head wreaths or belts. However, the daisy chain is more than a pretty garland, as they symbolize fidelity and eternal love.

Stars

The Latin name for the Asteraceae family of flowers comes from the Latin word for “star,” which is “aster.” These flowers not only resemble bright stars, they’re also named for the Greek goddess Astraea who turned into a star. (You can read more about Astraea in the section on Greek mythology below.)

As symbols for stars, daisies remind us of something fundamental, which is that we all originated from the same source. As Joni Mitchell sang in her song “Woodstock”:

“We are stardust
Billion year old carbon…”

Daisy Color Meanings

Daisies come in a variety of bright colors, and each has special meanings. Here are some of those qualities:

White Daisy

With their white petals and yellow centers, white daisies symbolize innocence and the other classic daisy traits, such as babies, motherhood, hope, and new beginnings. White daisies make lovely gifts for new parents and newborns.

Yellow Daisy

Like sunflower symbolism, yellow daisies symbolize joy, childish fun, hope, and good luck. They make lovely gifts for friends or anyone whose spirits you want to lift.

Orange Daisy

Orange aster flowers symbolize health, healing, and optimism. They also symbolize zany, off-beat fun.

Pink Daisies

Pink daisies symbolize affection and love, including both platonic and romantic love. They are ideal gifts and lovely to plant in gardens for new babies, new moms, or friends and family.

Red Daisy

Red daisy flowers are positive symbols for wealth and prosperity. In addition, like other red flowers, they symbolize romantic love. Because the nature of these flowers is lighthearted and fun, red daisies make lovely gifts for new crushes.

In addition, as symbols of eternity and fidelity, they make wonderful gifts for long-term partners, especially when you want to rekindle the flames in your romance or reconfirm your commitment to each other.

Purple Daisy

Many daisies come in purple hues. So, like orange daisies, purple aster flowers symbolize zany fun and spontaneity. In addition, as purple is the color of peace and understanding, like other purple flowers, a purple daisy represents the kind of hope and optimism that brings people together and heals misunderstandings. Thus, it is a flower that represents unity.

Blue Daisy

As with other blue flower meanings, blue daisies symbolize long-term loyalty and trust. They’re also helpful symbols for visualization. Like wishing on a star, focusing on a blue daisy in prayer or meditation can help you to calm your mind and envision positive outcomes.

Green Daisy

Green daisies symbolize new beginnings, renewal, and growth. So, they are helpful symbols for new creative, business, or other endeavors.

Daisy Spiritual Meanings

On a spiritual level, daisy flowers represent spiritual faith and the eternal life of the soul. They also represent the possibility that we all have the opportunity to begin again, no matter the mistakes we’ve made in our past. For some, they are also symbols of reincarnation.

Associated Spirit Animals

Because they grow on every continent except Antarctica, the daisy plays an important role in the natural ecosystems where they grow. As a result, they share synergies with the wild animals and insects in their natural habitats.

For example, rabbits and deer love to eat daisy flowers. In addition, insects including ladybugs, spiders, damselflies, and dragonflies prey on the insects that eat daisies. Therefore, they help to protect the life force of the flowers.

Furthermore, birds, including finches, sparrows, cardinals, and towhees, are attracted to daisies because they eat their seeds or the insects that live in their ecosystems.

Furthermore, the ancient Greeks would dry and crush the roots of daisy flowers and feed them to bees if they were sickly.1

On a spiritual level, daisies share synergies with the rabbit spirit animal because they are symbols of fertility and new beginnings. In addition, as symbols of fidelity and eternal love, they share symbolic meaning with birds, of which the majority, including eagles and crows, are monogamous.

Daisy Mythology and Folklore

Because they grow on nearly every continent on Earth, daisy and aster flowers have appeared in the myths and folklore of many cultures around the world. Here are some of those stories:

Daisy Meaning in Greek Mythology

For the ancient Greeks, daisy flowers were sacred. The Greeks made them into wreaths, which they placed in their temples. In addition, they burned their leaves to detoxify the air and drive evil spirits away.

The ancient Greeks also associated their goddess Astraea with daisy flowers. According to one Greek legend, during the Iron Age, humans began to make a lot of weapons and warfare increased. Incensed with the violence, Zeus decided to destroy the world of men with a great flood. But before he did, the gods, who had been living on Earth, left. The goddess Astraea was the last to leave. Heartbroken at the loss of life, she asked Zeus to turn her into a star.

Eventually, the flood waters receded. But all that was left of the world was mud and slime. Seeing the destruction, Astraea wept, and her tears fell as stardust. When they hit the land, they turned into daisy flowers.2

Native American Daisy Meanings

For Native Americans, daisies, like sunflowers, are associated with the life-giving attributes of the sun. The Native Americans also eat the daisy seeds and they used to use their stalks as building materials.

Daisy Meaning in the United States

In the U.S., daisies are April birth flowers. They are associated with new beginnings, happiness, and lighthearted fun.

Celtic Daisy Meaning

For the ancient Celts, daisies brought protective powers and good luck to babies and young children.

Norse Daisy Mythology

The Vikings associated daisies with their goddess Freya, who was a fertility goddess and the guardian of new mothers.

Asia

In China and Japan, daisy flowers are associated with fidelity and eternal love.

Daisy Tattoo Meaning

A daisy tattoo is a great design for a tattoo because these flowers are relatively simple in composition, yet they symbolize many positive attributes. A daisy tattoo tells the world that you are lighthearted and look for the fun in life. It can also be an ideal symbol when you are starting something new in your life. While tattoos are highly personal to each individual, hopefully understanding the qualities that daisies represent will bring deeper meaning to your tattoo.

Spell for Tuesday – Powerful Egg Shell Protection

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

Powerful Egg Shell Protection Spell

(SIDE NOTE from Lady Carla Beltane: To clean eggshells of that film that stays after you use the egg for whatever run the eggshell under as hot of water that is comfortable for you while gently moving a finger around the inside the shell. Then place the eggshells open side up into an empty egg carton to dry thoroughly. After they are thoroughly dry, I place them on my pastry sheet and use a rolling pin to crush them.)

Waste not want not applies to more than just meals! We believe that all ingredients and, what some would call trash, contain powerful symbolic magic.

And today, we’re going to harness the symbolism of the strong, powerful egg shell in our newest protection spell.

This spell leverages the potent symbolism of the egg, representing life, potential, and protection. As always, while spell ingredients provide energy to propel our manifestation, the power lies within your intention, the faith you have in the process, and the energy you infuse into it.

As you cast this spell, focus on the symbolism of the egg as a container of life and potential, as well as its shell as a protective barrier.

Egg Shell Protection Spell

Prep Time1minute 
Spell Time10minutes 
Total Time11minutes 

Materials

White Candles

Bowl

Salt

Permanent Marker optional

Whole Pasteurized Egg Shell

Instructions

Cleanse: Begin by creating a safe and sacred space. If desired, cleanse the space with smoke from sage or your favorite cleansing herbs. Light the white candles and place them on your altar or sacred space.
Consecrate: If you wish, you can use the marker to draw symbols on the egg that are meaningful to you and represent protection. These could be runes, sigils, or other symbols associated with protection in your personal practice.
Visualize: Hold the egg in your hands. Close your eyes and visualize yourself or what you want to be protected is living inside of the eggshell. Imagine that the eggshell is keeping you safe from negative energies or influences that may be affecting you.

Protect: Pour salt into the bowl, and place the egg int the center. As you do this, recite the following incantation (or one of your own creation):

“Shell of life, pure and round, Ward off harm, guard my ground. By the power of earth and sea, As I will it, so mote it be.”

Manifest: Leave the egg within the salt circle on your altar or sacred space for as long as you feel is necessary. Some people might choose to leave it overnight, while others might choose to leave it for several days.
Close: End the ritual by closing your sacred space in your chosen manner. You might choose to do this by extinguishing your candles, thanking any spirits or deities you invoked, or simply stating your intention to close the space.
Clean Up: Once you feel the spell is complete, take the egg outside and return it to the earth. You can do this by burying it in the ground or breaking it and scattering it in a garden or forest. As you do so, thank the egg and release any negative energies it has absorbed.

*** Your desire to travel and explore the world and reach out for exciting adventure is tempered by obligations to a friend, or a group. Or possibly, someone older is critical of you or holding you back in some way? You can handle this dance because you are the financial wizard of the zodiac.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** You feel playful, upbeat and energetic. However, parents, authority figures and older family members have requirements that you have to meet, and it seems whatever they are these requirements might clip your wings a bit. Look for a happy compromise. Enjoy what you can, and meet the expectations of others.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

*** Be cooperative with partners and close friends today. And be patient with others because you need more sleep right now, and if you’re not getting extra sleep, you could be cranky or moody. (“Me?” “Yes, you.”)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** Playful opportunities and invitations from friends, groups and organizations might come your way; however, financial restrictions and obligations could limit your chance to enjoy these social outings. This could be a disappointment. Fortunately, your focus on work and relations with partners is excellent.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

*** Today it’s tough balancing your need for play, fun diversions and entertaining adventures with your obligations to others. You are caught in the classic scenario of: “what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away.” Good luck.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** You might have to delay travel plans and chances to explore exciting opportunities because of work or health obligations. Or perhaps, limitations based on health issues or taking care of a pet. This is one of those days where you can’t have it all.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** This could be a good day to explore getting a mortgage or financial backing or a loan because you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others right now. Gifts and goodies might come your way. However, restrictions, perhaps with your kids, might cloud the picture with obligations you can’t ignore.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Today you want the freedom to do your own thing, especially to relate to those who are close to you, as well as members of the general public. Nevertheless, responsibilities related to home and family will restrict your actions and choices. Cope with this as best you can given these restrictive parameters.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Even though issues related to your job and your health are promising at the moment, in another part of the forest, job changes, residential moves and difficulty in dealing with relatives and neighbours could create some problems. You will have to make choices.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Financial limitations might restrict you today in your social options, especially when it comes to fun diversions with friends, exploring the arts and the entertainment world, sports events and fun activities with children. Find ways to have fun that cost less. Don’t increase your debt.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** Family gatherings and interactions with relatives and people at home will be positive and friendly today. Nevertheless, your laid-back, easy-going style could be at odds with someone who is taking control and over planning things. You knew this would happen. Do what you can to keep the peace.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, songwriter Louis Tomlinson (1991) shares your birthday today. You are sensitive, responsible and compassionate. You respect the past and what it has to offer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Good food and maybe some drinks will probably be the highlight of your day and it seems your expectations are in no way higher.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Some sort of practical revelation will help you win some time and give you an unexpected advantage compared to your colleagues.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This also means that you shouldn’t necessarily count on this happening again and that you should fight ahead.

You can also read this special Libra Daily Horoscope.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are quite scared or troubled by one thought and you don’t really know what to do. There is nothing you can actually do to prevent it from happening but at the same time the likelihood is very small so what you are obtaining is just tormenting yourself.

You need to count on your senses more and just let go of a few things.

You can also read this special Scorpio Daily Horoscope.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A good amount of this day will be spent trying to figure out what you did wrong and not understanding what should be improved. The longer you keep yourself focused on one matter a time, the more you are preventing new ideas to come in and remain stuck.

You can also let others tell you what they think and you might even be surprised by the outcome of this exercise.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will see that at the bottom of some successful areas in your life there have been people who helped you a lot and this day will allow you to celebrate this.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The possibility of revamping some parts of your image is going to make you a lot more active than usually and you are going to feel things a lot differently than you used to.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your capacity to look ahead in time is going to help you a lot, not necessarily in advancing but surely in preventing and mitigating some risks.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter.

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.

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

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on December 25 has an illumination of 25%. 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 December 25 the Moon is 24.64 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.

Today’s Moon Sign: ♎ Libra

The current zodiac moon sign is Libra, positioned at 29.52° within the sign. The Moon entered Libra on Dec 22, 1:41 PM and will shift into Scorpio on Dec 25, 9:10 AM. The zodiac moon sign represents the position of the Moon as it moves through the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each zodiac moon sign lasts about 2 to 2.5 days as the Moon travels through that part of the sky.

Phase: Waning Crescent
Illumination: 25%
Moon Age: 24.64 days

26 December 2024 Current Moon Phase for the Southern Hemisphere

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for December 25th, 2024 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 23.65 days old and 30.34% illuminated with a tilt of -28.976°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 404,121.66 km and the moon sign is Libra.

The Moon phase for December 25th, 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 illumination: 30.34%
