The peak has passed, and now comes the gift of reflection. What did the Full Moon illuminate? This is a time to share what you've learned, to offer your insights to others, and to begin releasing what no longer serves the next cycle. Gratitude is the medicine of this phase.

A little clarity for tonight’s sky
What is the moon phase tonight?
Tonight's moon phase is the Moon's current place in its monthly cycle, shown above with its illuminated percentage. The visible shape changes because the Sun lights different portions of the Moon as it orbits Earth.
What phase is the moon today?
Today's moon phase is calculated from the current date and time, so it can gently shift as the day unfolds. This page refreshes the live phase and illumination to help you meet the moment you are in.
What is a lunar phase calendar?
A lunar phase calendar maps the Moon's repeating cycle from new moon to full moon and back again. It helps you see when each major phase occurs and how the Moon's light changes throughout the month.
What does moon transit mean?
In astronomy, a moon transit can describe the Moon moving across an observer's local sky. In astrology, it often means the Moon's movement through a zodiac sign or its passing relationship to a planet.
