How to read the Lunar Calendar symbols?

Here is a short legend in which we explain how to read a Moon calendar, it will soon become a piece of cake!

• 🌑 (Completely Black Moon) = New Moon: occurs when the Earth is aligned with the Sun.
• 🌛 (Right side of the illuminated Moon) = Crescent Moon: occurs when the Moon begins its phase of revolution around the Earth.
• 🌕 (Fully illuminated and visible Moon) = Full Moon: occurs when the Earth is perfectly aligned between the Sun and the Moon.
• 🌜 (Left side of the illuminated Moon) = Waning Moon: this is the last phase of the lunar cycle.

What is the Full Moon?

The Full Moon is the lunar phase in which the surface appears fully illuminated. When the Moon and the Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, we view the Moon as being full. The side facing Earth is completely lit up by the Sun and appears as a disk. This amazing event occurs once roughly every month, as shown in our Moon calendar for 2022. 

What it means in astrological terms

A Full Moon is a time when we reap what we sowed during the New Moon. If one has acted positively and worked hard during the New Moon, one reaps the first fruits of their labor at Full Moon. This cycle therefore represents a reward or the beginning of a reward, plus it also acts as an indicator that we're on the right path to success. On the other hand, if you have been passive or lazy in your initiatives during the New Moon, the Full Moon acts as a light, a revelation, a clarification, and even a small crisis. It therefore allows you to reorient yourself and act differently afterwards. Indeed, it is the moment to readjust your tactics.

What is a New Moon? — It's a new beginning

The New Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are on the same side of the Earth. During this cycle, the face of the Moon that we see from Earth is not lit up by sunlight. From Earth, we are unable to see the New Moon in the sky, unless there’s a solar eclipse, with the Moon positioned directly in front of the Sun.

This period symbolizes a second chance and a clean slate. If everything went wrong for you during the Full Moon and you made mistakes you shouldn't have made, here, you'll be granted a second go. That's why it's the perfect time to meditate, plan, organize and plan your next steps. Its purifying energy is there to help you in your reflection and analysis.
