The moon is a celestial body that is constantly interested in a large number of people. Not only well-being and mood depends on its influence, but also various natural phenomena, such as ebbs and flows and tsunamis.
The celestial body closest to the Earth is the moon. The approximate distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384.4 thousand kilometers, and the period during which the Moon completely turns around the Earth is 29.5 days.
Astrologers have information on how exactly a person's mood and well-being changes, depending on the lunar cycle. The moon is constantly changing and looks different. The change in the position of the moon is its cycle, which is about 30 days, but it is incomplete and equal to 29 days.
At this time, when the lunar and calendar months are not identical, it is the most difficult, because it is fraught with various mental disorders, as well as malfunctioning of various organs of the human body. Knowing in what phase the Moon is at a given moment and how many days its cycle has, makes it possible for a person to prepare for avoiding undesirable consequences.
Moon phases
The shape of the moon is constantly changing. In one period it is round, in another it is the thinnest sickle, and sometimes it is completely invisible. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the moon has certain phases.
At the moment when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, only a small part of it is visible from our planet. At such a time, just one can see that small segment of it, popularly called the sickle or the young month.
Then the moon begins to move on and with each subsequent night it becomes more and more visible. When it makes a half-turn, the Earth is already between the Sun and the Moon, at this moment the full moon shines in the sky and its entire circle is visible from the Earth.
Many people are interested in what the waxing and withering moon visually represents. For this, there is a way that determines the difference between a young month, which is just beginning to grow, from an old one.
If the Moon visually represents the letter C, then it is the old Moon. When this is the beginning of the letter Ж, or the inverted letter C, adding mentally to which the wand turns out the letter P, it means that the month is young, just beginning its growth.
Young month
The month is more of an oval body than a round one, as it is considered to be. In different places of the globe, the young month looks different and therefore is associated with different letters.
In order not to be mistaken with the age of the moon, it is necessary to turn to astronomical signs, which clearly explain: the young month can be seen only in the evening in the western part of the sky, and the old one - only in the early morning in the eastern part of the sky.
