Seasons & Cycles Moon Calendar 2023 UK (25 x 25cm)

Product Information

The meteorological start date is based on our 12-month civil calendar and the annual temperaturecycle. 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. It can sometimes feel like winter is dragging on forever, but did you know that winter is the shortest season of the year? (In the Northern Hemisphere, thatis.) 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. 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.

2023 Moon Calendar - every phase and stage of the moon

Do you feel fully responsible for yourself, in your interactions with other people and towards the environment around you? What intentions and wishes can you make to adjust your sense of integrity in your daily routines?

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.) There are two solar eclipses in 2023: a hybrid solar eclipse on April 20 and an annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14. In contrast, the meteorological start of a season is based on the annual temperature cycle and the 12-month calendar. According to this definition, each season begins on the first of a particular month and lasts for three months: Spring begins on March 1, summer on June 1, autumn on September 1, and winter on December 1. Climate scientists and meteorologists created this definition to make it easier to keep records of the weather since the start of each meteorological season doesn’t change from year toyear.

And sometimes — once in a blue moon— the moon is full twice in a month (or four times in a season, depending on which definition you prefer).

Moon Calendar: February 2023

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. 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.
