What phase is the moon in tonight?
The moon phase changes daily as the moon orbits Earth. The current phase, illumination percentage, and all times shown above are calculated in real-time for your location. The 8 main phases are: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
When is the next full moon?
The next full moon date and countdown are displayed in real-time above. The moon completes one full cycle every 29.5 days. Full moons are traditionally associated with heightened emotions, peak fishing activity, and spiritual practices.
What time does the moon rise and set tonight?
Moonrise and moonset times are calculated for your specific GPS coordinates. These times vary by location because the moon's position relative to your horizon depends on your latitude and longitude.
How does moon phase affect fishing and gardening?
Many fishermen and gardeners follow lunar cycles for planning. Fish are most active around full and new moons due to tidal forces. Biodynamic gardeners plant above-ground crops during waxing phases and root crops during waning phases.
