About this deal

You may have noticed that the first day of spring is on a different date than when you were younger. The dates actually shift over time. Why? There are several reasons, but the one that’s easy to understand is that the Sun doesn’t follow a humancalendar! This is extreme energy, from which positive outcomes are more likely to come with careful thought and integrity. We may feel the urge to spontaneously move forward in an impulsive, Aries way without much thought! However, on the 21st, Mercury turns retrograde just a day after the New Moon which will make us pause as communications become complicated! All the astrological factors involved within this Lunar moonth are contributing to this unusually powerful opportunity for a new beginning – but we might sense that we still need space to think about the best way forward. Thank you, Mercury! He turns direct again on 15th May. If we didn’t understand the insights and attitudes we were offered on the last Aries New Moon on the 21st March, we are being presented with a second dose of Aries energy in the powerful last few hours of the sign on 20th April. The Cosmos underlines the intensity of the energy with a Grand Finale explosion of multi-coloured fireworks – a total Solar Eclipse thrown in for good measure. In the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons are switched, the Harvest Moon occurs in March and the Cold Moon is in June. According to Earthsky.org, these are common names for full moons south of the equator. Full moon names often correspond to seasonal markers, so a Harvest Moon occurs at the end of the growing season, in September or October, and the Cold Moon occurs in frosty December. At least, that's how it works in the Northern Hemisphere. The Old Farmer’s Almanac is an astronomical “calendar of the heavens,” so our book has long followed the astronomical definition of the seasons based on the Sun andEarth! What Causes theSeasons?

In other words, it takes Earth less time to go from the autumnal equinox to the vernal equinox than it does to go from the vernal equinox to the autumnalequinox. Yes, the seasons are different lengths! Thanks to the elliptical shape of Earth’s orbit around the Sun, Earth doesn’t stay the same distance from the Sun year-round. In January, we reach the point in our orbit nearest to the Sun (called perihelion), and in July, we reach the farthest point ( aphelion). Read more about perihelion and aphelion. Saturn in Pisces, (trine South Node/sextile North Node), continues to morph our attitudes towards responsibility, structure and authority as he continues on his journey to meet Neptune. Concepts and structures are inevitably becoming less ‘earth bound’ at this time and more in tune with our individual responsibilities towards the collective – developing more awareness of the ‘higher purpose’ of our existence. Native American teaching sometimes references the ‘broken Sacred Hoop’ – the idea that the physical and spiritual parts of our lives have become separated from each other. We need to heal the Sacred Hoop if we are to advance positively and holistically into the future. Days later, the moon has moved another quarter of the way around Earth, to the third quarter position. The sun's light is now shining on the other half of the visible face of the moon.

At new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun, so that the side of the moon facing toward us receives no direct sunlight, and is lit only by dim sunlight reflected from Earth.

The partial lunar eclipse on Oct. 18 will be visibleover Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, North/East South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctica. It will begin at 2:35 p.m. (1935 GMT), the maximum eclipse occurs at 15:14 p.m. EST (2014 GMT) and the partial eclipse will end at 3:52 p.m. EST (2052 GMT). It will last 4 hours and 25 minutes. Added to this, the squares between the Nodal axis points and Pluto (T Square) will put focus on the opposing tensions between present and future structural paradigms – and the champions of each. Need-for-change-Pluto will take no prisoners. He is determined to move us into an Aquarian ‘new future’ and will create events that force us to either resolve issues or lose parts of our lives that we thought were secure and constant. We will be compelled to cope, understand, learn and move on – or fail. Sudden new technologies are likely to challenge, more Truths will emerge and changing realities will force themselves into our consciousnesses. (On a personal level, this energy will be most active according to where the T square occurs in our natal charts.) Because the moon's orbit around the Earth is tilted, it does not line up with Earth's shadow every month and we do not have a lunar eclipse each month. Next, the moon moves into the waning crescent phase as less than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, and the amount is decreasing. In 2023, there are two lunar eclipses: A penumbral lunar eclipse on May 5 and a partial lunar eclipse on Oct. 28.

Therefore, the dates of the equinoxes and solstices can shift by a day or two over time, which causes the start dates of the seasons to shift over time,too. Which Season is theShortest? All times are local time for The Courts of Four Seasons. Time is adjusted for DST when applicable. They take into account refraction. Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar. Current lunation cycle is highlighted yellow. Special events are highlighted blue. Hover over events for more details. It’s the Earth’s tilted axis that causes the seasons. The axis is always tilted in the same direction. So, as the Earth orbits the Sun over the 12 months of the year, different parts of Earth get the Sun’s direct rays.The winter solstice is the “shortest day” of the year, meaning the least amount of sunlight. The Sun reaches its most southern point in the sky (in the Northern Hemisphere) at local noon. After this date, the days start getting “longer,” i.e., the amount of daylight begins toincrease.

There are two solar eclipses in 2023: a hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 and an annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14. If you would like to know more about moon-mapping, this lunar calendar brings you the upcoming dates of the new moon, full moon and all of her glorious phases in between. We should also add that these beautiful moon phases are all taken from a telescope image that Holly captured herself at home! All times are local time for Great Britain. Time is adjusted for DST when applicable. They take into account refraction. Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar. Current lunation cycle is highlighted yellow. Special events are highlighted blue. Hover over events for more details. Mercury, conjunct Uranus in Taurus and sextile Mars, brings increased energy for communication on all levels, outbreaks of rebellion against unfair practices – and a change in the quality of communications. Retrograde Mercury (next day) will refuse to let unfinished matters lie, quite prepared to ‘go over old ground’ and to slow life down, forcing a re-examination of duplicitous communications until he turns direct again! Solutions that focus on human movement and the distribution of wealth and essential commodities could become more innovative. The growing gap between rich and poor, the ‘haves and have nots’, rattles cages on both sides of the political abyss and hidden corruption becomes increasingly and undeniably ‘on show’. Selfishness is less easy to hide and the demand for transparency increases.This is a wonderful opportunity to make new beginnings. As we form our visions, intentions and wishes in preparation for the powerful, uncertain, and intense Lunar Month ahead, here are some suggestions: Each full moon is calculated to occur at an exact moment, which may or may not be near the time the moon rises where you are. So when a full moon rises, it’s typically doing so some hours before or after the actual time when it’s technically full, but a casual skywatcher won’t notice the difference. In fact, the moon will often look roughly the same on two consecutive nights surrounding the full moon. When the moon is in its full phase, it is passing behind the Earth with respect the sun and can pass through Earth's shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. When the moon is fully inside the Earth's shadow, we see a total lunar eclipse. At other times, the moon only partially passes through the Earth's shadow in what is known as a partial, or even penumbral lunar eclipse (when the moon only skirts through the outermost region of Earth's shadow).
