Unlike the usual calendars based on the movement of the Sun, the lunar calendar is based on the periodicity of the movement of the only satellite of the Earth and the change in its phases. It is they who are included in the lunar calendar grid. It is believed that a person's well-being, his activity and psychological comfort depend on the position of the moon.
Instructions
Step 1
As in the usual calendar, the lunar calendar has its own days. They last from one moonrise to another, and only on the first day of the month are they counted from the new moon. You should know that the lunar days not only do not coincide in duration with the calendar ones, but are also very different from them.
Step 2
The time interval between two identical phases is called synodic month. On average, it is equal to 29 and a half sunny days, so the year is divided into full and incomplete months. In a full lunar month there are 30 days, in an inferior one - 29. It is believed that a short month has a negative effect on the well-being of people.
Step 3
The lunar calendar includes several phases. The new moon is indicated in it by an empty circle. These days, the satellite is not visible in the sky, as it passes between the Sun and the Earth. The unlit side of the Moon is turned towards the Earth. On the day before the new moon, it is customary to sum up the results of the outgoing month, and on the day after the new moon - to make plans.
Step 4
The waxing moon phase is indicated by a circle, the right half of which is painted over. This period is usually divided into two quarters. The first quarter is when less than half of the celestial body is visible. The second quarter begins when more than half of the waxing moon is visible. At this time, it is customary to do business planning. By the end of the second phase, you can begin to implement your plan.
Step 5
A full moon is indicated by a fully filled circle. These days, the influence of the moon on people is becoming the strongest. Activity, nervousness increases, and the number of accidents increases.
Step 6
The waning moon in the calendar is indicated by a circle, the left half of which is painted over. As with the waxing moon, it is customary to divide this phase into quarters. The third quarter ends when half of the lunar disk remains in the sky, and the fourth begins. During the third quarter, you should try to complete difficult cases, since from the fourth your strength will wane.
