Each month includes: In the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are switched, the Harvest Moon occurs in March and the Cold Moon is in June. According to Earthsky.org, these are common names for full moons south of the equator. A few days later, the area of illumination continues to increase. More than half of the moon's face appears to be getting sunlight. This phase is called a waxing gibbous moon. Includes a description and astrological interpretation of the months’ planetary movements written by Tchenka Jane Sunderland. Readily accessible to beginner and experienced astrologer alike, Tchenka’s lyrical writing brings the heavenly dance to life and imaginatively invokes the atmosphere created by it. An understanding of the dynamic of the starry template can help the individual to respond creatively to its tides of fortune whilst also lending a perspective of wisdom and depth to events happening in the wider world around us.

The moon is a sphere that travels once around Earth every 27.3 days. It also takes about 27 days for the moon to rotate on its axis. So, the moon always shows us the same face; there is no single "dark side" of the moon. As the moon revolves around Earth, it is illuminated from varying angles by the sun — what we see when we look at the moon is reflected sunlight. On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, which means sometimes it rises during daylight and other times at night.

Spring

When the moon is in its full phase, it is passing behind the Earth with respect the sun and can pass through Earth's shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. When the moon is fully inside the Earth's shadow, we see a total lunar eclipse. At other times, the moon only partially passes through the Earth's shadow in what is known as a partial, or even penumbral lunar eclipse (when the moon only skirts through the outermost region of Earth's shadow). There are two solar eclipses in 2023: a hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 and an annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14.

Once a month, the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun align in a straight line with the Earth in between. As a result, we get to see a fully illuminated moon from the Earth, known as the full moon. The first day of spring happens on the spring equinox, which marks the astronomical beginning of spring. Meteorologically, spring begins on March 1st. Many people believe that summer is hotter than the other seasons because it happens when the Earth is closer to the sun, and that when the Earth is furthest from the sun, that's when winter occurs. This is false! The moon can even create a "ring of fire" solar eclipse when it passes directly in front of the sun, but is at a point in its orbit that is too far from Earth to fully cover the sun's disk. This leaves a ring, or "annulus," around the moon to create what is called an annular solar eclipse.

Next, the moon moves into the waning crescent phase as less than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, and the amount is decreasing. The annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14 will be visible across parts of North America, Central America and South America. It will begin in thewestern United States and travel from the coast of Oregon to the Texas Gulf coast, passing over Nevada, Utah, New Mexico as well as some parts of California, Idaho, Colorado and Arizona. It then passes over Mexico, Belize, Honduras and Panama. It will conclude in South America as it passes over Columbia and Brazil.

Each lunar cycle lasts for around 29.5 days, the time it takes for the Moon to orbit the Earth. Full Moon Names Of A Year

The penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5 was a very slight lunar eclipse in which the moon passed through the outermost edge of the Earth's shadow. It was visible from South/East Europe, Much of Asia, Australia, Africa, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Antarctica. The eclipse began at 10:11 a.m. EST (1511 GMT), the maximum eclipse was reached at 12:22 p.m. EST (1722 GMT) and the penumbral eclipse ended at 2:31 p.m. EST (1931 GMT), according to TimeandDate.com. The overall duration of the eclipse was 4 hours and 18 minutes. This season comes after winter and before summer, and is characterized by the temperatures warming and the days getting longer. It is during spring that plants start blossoming for the summer.

Although the United Kingdom is a small country there will be some regional variance in the climate. Generally, the country's south is milder and warmer than the north, but the weather can be rainy throughout the year. Spring When the moon has moved 180 degrees from its new moon position, the sun, Earth and the moon form a line. The moon’s disk is as close as it can be to being fully illuminated by the sun, so this is called full moon. Days later, the moon has moved another quarter of the way around Earth, to the third quarter position. The sun's light is now shining on the other half of the visible face of the moon.A week after the new moon, the moon is 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky and is half-illuminated from our point of view — what we call first quarter because it is about a quarter of the way around Earth.
