Lunar
days, the phases of the moon in February 2021
If
the Sun in astrology represents our conscious will, determines the individual
shape, the Moon is responsible for the emotions of the unconscious.
Our instinctive reaction is the inner world of the individual. The moon
is the part of our soul, which reacts before we have time to think and realize.
Notes
to the lunar calendar
Lunar
year, lunar month, lunar day Use
the lunar calendar by people began much earlier than the solar
calendar. Since ancient times, people lived exactly in accordance
with the lunar rhythms, they understood that the effect of
the Moon on the Earth is not weaker and perhaps even stronger
than the sun. In ancient Rome, after each new moon priests
publicly reported beginning of the month, called the date
of the lunar phases. Now we live on the solar calendar, in
the rhythms of the sun, but the accounting data of the lunar
calendar in our daily life is still relevant if we want to
feel good about themselves and succeed. Lunar Year.
Earth year lasts 365 days, but it is - the length of the solar
year. It was during this time, the Earth makes a complete
revolution around the sun. If we lived in the lunar calendar,
the year would have lasted 354.36 Earth days - this is the
length of the lunar year.
A Lunar Day is
the period it takes for the Earth's Moon to complete one full
rotation on its axis with respect to the Sun. Equivalently,
it is the time it takes the Moon to make one complete orbit
around the Earth and come back to the same phase. It is marked
from a new moon to the next new moon. Lunar day is longer
than a sunny day. Lunar day lasts 24 hours 48 minutes - that
is how much time passes from one moon rise to the next. Lunar
Days - those that are described in the astrological traditions
of the World - are quite different from the familiar calendar
days. The First Lunar Day always begins at the moment of the
New Moon. Each subsequent day begins at the moment of moon
rise in the given location. This means that Lunar Days are
location-specific: the moment of moon rise depends on the
longitude and latitude of the location and so even if two
cities are located in the same time zone (say, New York and
Boston), there will be a more or less substantial difference
between their Lunar Days. By
the way, scientists who study biological rhythms, found that
the human biological clock (property of the brain that allows
us to accurately feel the time and wake up at the right time
without an alarm clock) “wound up” about 24,5-25
hours, that is more in tune with the rhythms of the moon than
the sun. Maybe that's why many people always suffer from a
lack of time? It says about them: “He is 24 hours in
a day is not enough!” Or maybe they do not have this
particular missing lunar hours?
The lunar month
is shorter than our usual solar month. In the lunar month
of 29.53 Earth days. Moonlit night
(Lunar twenty-four hours) - this time,
which runs from sunrise to moon rise. Except for the first
lunar day: they start at the time of the new moon, and it
does not coincide with the moment of sunrise. End first lunar
day, at the time of the next new moon after the rising of
the moon. Therefore, the first lunar day can be very short.
Sometimes, in the lunar month of 29 lunar days,
and sometimes - 30. Thirties lunar day can also be very short:
they do not end with the nearest rising moon, and at the time
of the new moon, which can happen between two lunar sunrise.
The duration of all other lunar day is about the same.
Why
does the Moon have phases?
At
the new Moon phase, the Moon is so close to the Sun
in the sky that none of the side facing Earth is illuminated
(position 1 in illustration). In other words, the Moon
is between Earth and Sun. At first quarter, the half-lit
Moon is highest in the sky at sunset, then sets about
six hours later (3). At full Moon, the Moon is behind
Earth in space with respect to the Sun. As the Sun sets,
the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully
exposed to sunlight (5).
The
Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes
the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes
27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle
(from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days. The Moon spends
the extra 2.2 days “catching up” because
Earth travels about 45 million miles around the Sun
during the time the Moon completes one orbit around
Earth.

You can create a mockup of the relationship between
Sun, Earth, and Moon using a bright lamp, a basketball,
and a baseball. Mark a spot on the basketball, which
represents you as an observer on Earth, then play with
various alignments of Earth and Moon in the light of
your imaginary Sun.
Most
of the planets in our solar system—and some asteroids—have
moons. Earth has one moon. We call it "the Moon" because
for a long time it was the only one we knew about. Many languages
have beautiful words for Moon. It is "Luna" in Italian,
Latin and Spanish, "Lune" in French, "Mond"
in German, and "Selene" in Greek. Our Moon is like a desert
with plains, mountains, and valleys. It also has many craters, holes
created when space rocks hit the surface at a high speed. There
is no air to breathe on the Moon.
Critical
points of the Moon
In
the lunar month, there are four critical points - these are
the days of precise phases. They are listed in the calendar.
These days, the moon and sun are at a critical angular distance
from each other to form a tight, inharmonious or stress aspects.
These are the days of turning points of the cycle.
Two main criticisms of the day - it's a new moon (distance
0 deg) and full moon (distance 180 deg.).
Two intermediate - is growing (in the first quarter) and falling
(in the third quarter) squaring the Moon to the Sun. During
the 1st and 3rd quarters of the moon is from the Sun at an
angular distance of 90 degrees.
The
first quarter of the lunar month there is usually 7-8 lunar
day; the second - from 14 to 17 lunar day, the third quarter
- at 22-23 and night. Fourth Quarter - is the end of one of
the lunar month and the beginning of a new one.
Four critical points of the lunar month - according to statistics,
during accidents and disasters, disease exacerbation. In these
days of internal processes in the human body and psyche are
unstable. Any business these days is experiencing a temporary
crisis. Folk wisdom warns against making important decisions
in the critical days of the moon.
Archetypal waxing Moon is associated with the manifestation
in the material sphere, and falling Moon - with the growth
of the spiritual. But there is a lunar month, and days that
are best suited for the beginning of anything was new.
Why the moon looks like it is changing?
The
Earth and Moon are tidally-locked. Their rotations are so in sync
we only see one side of the Moon all the time.
Human's didn't see the lunar far side until a Soviet spaecraft flew
past in 1959.
Moon
and the psyche of man
The phases of the moon have a certain effect
on the psychoemotional state of people, provoke outbreaks
of aggression, somnambulism or insomnia. Scientists conducted
a special study. The experts made appropriate conclusions
on the results of a large research project, in which a huge
amount of statistical data collected due to a large number
of people was analyzed. It turned out that the Moon really
affects human health and behavior, but it can cope with a
mentally strong person. Ie, the Moon can only affect the behavior
of the person predisposed to it. "We are talking about
those who are pathologically susceptible to all kinds of suggestions,
as well as in the whole emotionally unstable and infantile
people. Here the moon actually acts very much even on them.
On the rest - hardly ", - say the researchers.
Thus, if you feel that you are a mentally stable person, then
you can not be afraid of the moon - it is not able to somehow
affect your state of health.
What
is a Gibbous Moon?
It’s
when the Moon is more than half full, but not quite fully
illuminated, when you look at it from the perspective of Earth.
The reason the light changes has to do with how the Moon orbits
the Earth.
The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about
382,500 km (237,675 miles). As the Moon orbits our planet,
the illumination of the Sun changes on its surface. The Moon
takes about 29.5 days to go from a new moon to a full moon
and then back again. This is called a “synodic period”
or sometimes, a “synodic month.”
It’s slightly longer than the “sidereal period”
or “sidereal month” (27.3 days) for the Moon to
return to the same position relative to the stars. That’s
because the Earth is moving at the same time along its orbit
of the Sun, requiring the Moon to “catch up” to
reach the same illumination, according to NASA. universetoday.com
Did
you know that the Moon is 27 million times smaller than the Sun?
The Moon is 374 times closer to Earth?
What
about the discrepancies in the counting of the age of the
moon
(number of lunar day)
In
different sources there are discrepancies in the calculation
of the age of the moon. This is due to the fact that the movement
of the moon is extremely uneven. Therefore, the accuracy of
the formulas for the determination of the lunar day, such
a formula Harvey is plus-minus
one day.
Hence,
the differences in the one day of our lunar calendar with
some other calendars. What to
do? Do not worry! Remember that the key is
to know the phases of the moon and the position of the Moon
in the sign of the Zodiac. But
do not forget, the calendar is advisory in nature. When making
decisions rely more on themselves.
Lunar
day - the period of time taken for
the moon to make one full rotation on its axis (about 27.3 sidereal
days)
Features
account lunar days
Looking
at the moon, you will notice that the sight of her every
day is changing - from a small crescent to the full
disk. On the day of the new moon (the day before the
new moon) the moon in the sky is not visible. It can
be seen only by the middle or end of the next day. What
is not generally representing a digit zero. So, take
lunar days most naturally with zero: 0, 1, 2, 3 ...
(zero corresponds to the new moon day of the moon.)
But lunar days thus counted are not always. The fact
that zero invented much later lunar calendar, and ancient
calendars account lunar days were with units 1, 2, 3,
4 ... (in some calendars, the system still preserved).
It's the same thing to start with unit scale ruler -
this line will always show more than 1 cm! Of course,
it is very inconvenient. But in those early years there
was no other choice - because zero was not yet invented.
Later this difficulty was able to bypass the Tibetan
lunar calendar: the day of the new moon it was seen
as the 30th lunar day, the final month.
The
Moon travels around the Earth in an oval shaped orbit. Scientists
think the Moon was formed long, long ago when Earth crashed into a
Mars-sized object.
We always see the same side of the Moon from Earth. You have to go
into space to see the other side.
Scientists may have discovered the oldest Earth rock ever—on
the Moon. A lunar sample returned by the Apollo 14 astronauts may
contain a bit of Earth from about 4 billion years ago
A
lunar calendar is a calendar up to expectation is based about
cycles regarding the lunar phases. Because so are barely extra
than twelve lunations (synodic months) within a photo voltaic
year, the duration about 12 lunar months (354.37 days) is
each so often referred in conformity with namely a lunar year.
A frequent simply the lunar calendar is the Islamic calendar
or Hijri Qatari calendar. A feature regarding the Islamic
calendar is to that amount a year
is always 12 months, and the months are not attached along
the seasons then go with the flow every solar year
with the aid of 11 to 12 days. It comes again to the position
it had of bracing in conformity with the photo voltaic year
approximately each 33 Islamic years. It is used more often
than not for religious purposes, however between Saudi Arabia
it is the legitimate calendar. Other lunar calendars frequently
consist of greater months delivered each so often in accordance
with synchronizing such along the solar calendar.
The oldest acknowledged lunar calendar used to be discovered
between Scotland; such dates again in conformity with around
8000 BC.
CHINESE
CALENDAR
Dating back to the Chinese Xia Dynasty (21st Century BC - 17th Century
BC) and Shang Dynasty (17th Century BC - 1046 BC), Chinese calendar
refers to any of the official and civil calendars greatly used in
China. In China, the official calendar (also the solar calendar)
is the Gregorian calendar used for public and business affairs.
For example, some Chinese public holidays including Chinese Labor
Day, National Day, Women's Day, Children's Day, Anniversary of the
Founding of the Chinese Communist Party, Army Day of the Chinese
People's Liberation Army…are related to the Gregorian calendar.
The civil calendar of China refers to the lunisolar calendar. It
is widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. The lunar calendar
has links with the four seasons, some traditional Chinese festivals,
solar terms (a calendar of twenty-four periods and climate to govern
agricultural arrangements in China), 'Five Elements' (metal, wood,
water, fire and earth) as well as the Chinese Zodiac. You can easily
find that many Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival (Chinese
New Year), Tomb-sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn
Festival are calculated according to the Chinese lunar calendar.
Also, the calendar is popular among the Chinese people for selecting
some lucky days and hours for special occasions like wedding, engagement,
funeral, residential relocation, traveling and more. It helps people
to plan their schedule easily and at an early time. Source: Your
