Moon Phases: A Simple Guide
As a moon phase researcher for 15 years, I explain moon phases to my students like this: imagine the moon is playing peek-a-boo with the sun. Sometimes we see all of it, sometimes just a bit, and sometimes none at all. This beautiful dance happens every month, and in 2025, we'll see this pattern 12 times.
The Four Main Moon Phases:
- New Moon: The moon is hiding - perfect for planting seeds or starting new projects
- First Quarter: Half the moon shows - good time to take action
- Full Moon: The whole moon glows - best for finishing tasks
- Last Quarter: Half moon again - ideal for cleaning and organizing
