Phase #1 - THE FULL MOON

The Full Moon phase occurs when the Sun and the Moon are on different sides of the Earth. In this phase, the Moon is fully illuminated by the 

Basically, the Full Moon phase lasts only for a couple of moments, the period when the sunlit part of the Moon is at 100%. On some parts of the Planet, the actual Full Moon occurs during the day.

CHAPTER 2 CONTINUED

From ancient times people used the Full Moon and the Lunar calendar to track seasons. The Native Americans are responsible for the names of the Full Moons we are still using today. The names are not given just for the actual Full Moon but for the entire lunar month. Every Full Moon has its specific energy. During a Full Moon, our emotions, feeling, and dreams are amplified. Because the Moon and the Sun are opposed, a lot of tension and friction is caused. For some people, it is a time of balanced energies. The Full Moon doesn't affect only people and animals. The Earth is also influenced by it. A Full Moon is responsible for bigger ocean tides and extreme meteorological conditions.

Phase #2 - THE WAXING GIBBOUS

The Waxing Gibbous is an intermediate phase of the Moon that starts right after the First Quarter when the illumination is 50%. The name Gibbous comes from the Moon's shape, which is less than a Full Moon but more extensive than the Third Quarter's semicircle shape. Waxing means that the Moon is  getting bigger.

CHAPTER 4 

Phase #3 - THE FIRST QUARTER

What is the First Quarter?

The First Quarter is when we can see half of the illuminated part and half of the shadow part of the Moon. This is why generally, this phase is known as Half Moon. We can only see half and half because the Moon is at a 90-degree angle with respect to the Earth and Sun.

The First quarter is the second primary phase of the Moon. It is followed by the Full Moon, while the first major phase is the New Moon and the last the Third Quarter. 

The First Quarter is known as the growth period of the lunar month. The plans that we made during a New Moon are starting to take shape. This is a perfect time for learning new skills that will help you succeed in your projects. It is also a great time to connect with the Universe and the world around us.

Dreams tend to be more realistic under the First Quarter, and you may feel emotionally balanced. It is common in this period to have increased thirst or hunger.
