Moon phases

The eight names here are ranges of the Moon's real phase angle. Exact New Moon, quarter, and Full Moon are calculated as separate 0°/90°/180°/270° instants. The rhythm, practices, and questions are a modern OmenHall authored reflective system, not an astronomical prediction of behavior.

An eight-phase family name describes a phase-angle range; exact New Moon, quarter, and Full Moon are separate astronomical instants. Practices and meanings are OmenHall's authored reflective system.

30 OmenHall stages Phase guide

●

New Moon

The New Moon opens a dark cup of beginning: there is nothing to show the world yet, but you can name what you want to grow.

☽

Waxing Crescent

The waxing crescent shows a thin line of growth. It is still fragile, so it asks for careful repetition, not noise.

◐

First Quarter

The First Quarter turns the question sharp: intention meets resistance and asks for real movement.

◔

Waxing Gibbous

This phase is like a workshop before the gates open: almost ready, but details decide whether the thing becomes alive.

○

Full Moon

The Full Moon brings hidden things into light. It is not always dramatic; sometimes it is the simple admission: now I see.

◕

Waning Gibbous

After brightness comes understanding. This phase asks not to chase the new, but to gather the lesson from what happened.

◑

Last Quarter

The Last Quarter removes excess. It does not destroy life; it frees space where borrowed expectations accumulated.

☾

Waning Crescent

The waning crescent closes the circle. It asks not for new feats, but for a soft return to self.
