It is the darkest phase of the moon in which the sky appears blank in the evening as the illuminated side of the moon faces the sun.
It comprises the silver part of the moon. In fact, this phase occurs as the moon starts to show more illumination with only a tiny portion visible to us on earth.
This phase of the moon is a quarter away from the lunar cycle. Half part of the moon will be illuminated and visible around mid-day.
This is the last phase of the moon before light is thrown on it. This is an intermediate phase of the moon and quite challenging to differentiate between waxing gibbous moon and full moon.
It occurs when the earth finds itself between the sun and the moon. The moon appears in its complete form. The glow of the full moon allows us to view circumstances and relationships from a perspective which is clear.
It appears just after the full moon, when the moon starts to subdue its light. To express gratitude is an important aspect of it as it represents a symbol of rebirth.
This moon is called the third quarter. In this moon, the part which lights up during the lunar phase is half part.
This moon is also known by the name Balsamic Moon. The moon is back to being a sliver, with only a crescent of the left side visible. This is the last lunar phase before the new cycle starts.
