Waxing Gibbous
The moon phase on 30 december 1995 was Waxing Gibbous. This moon phase occurs in the months between the first quarter and full moons.
The waxing moon is a time for working hard to reach your goals and complete projects that you have started. It’s also a time to reevaluate your current plans and goals and determine whether or not they are still in alignment with your true self and core values.
In this phase, you may feel the urge to change your direction in life and try something new. Embrace the feeling, however, and don’t resist it.
The Moon has been revered since the dawn of time by many cultures as a feminine deity that can forecast weather, predict plant growth and guide women on their cycles. Its monthly cycle has been used for thousands of years as a tool to divine and hone people’s lives, but it can also be a powerful spiritual force that can bring both good fortune and tragedy.
First Quarter
The First Quarter, or Waxing Gibbous Moon, occurs around day 7 of a Moon’s cycle. It rises around midday and sets at midnight, the mirror opposite of a Third Quarter Moon.
The Moon appears illuminated on the right half of its surface during the First Quarter, which is half way through its orbital cycle. The right half is lit in the Northern Hemisphere and the left half in the Southern Hemisphere.
As a result, the First Quarter Moon is often the most spectacular part of a full Moon. The illumination from the side creates innumerable shadows on the Moon’s powdery surface, as well as a variety of craters and mountain ranges.
The astrological meaning of the First Quarter is action, expression, growth, and breaking away. It is also an excellent time to focus on the kinesthetic body, and to act on feelings by stretching, dancing, or exercising.
Full Moon
The Full Moon is one of the most visible astronomical events in the sky. This is due to the moon’s position at apogee, which puts it at an ideal viewing angle for the naked eye.
The best time to see the moon is late in the afternoon – about four hours after sunset – and early in the morning (as early as eight in the northern hemisphere). In New York City, for example, the Full Moon will be seen at 11:08 pm on Dec. 8, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.
Our website has an interactive calendar of the lunar phase on 30 december 1995, which includes the name of the phase, an approximate percent of an illuminated surface of the Moon, and the moon’s age (days) as well as photos taken by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio. In addition to the full moon, the site also offers a list of the most significant lunar phases from January through December 1995.
New Moon
The New Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are a close conjunction (when they share celestial longitude). It is usually the beginning of a lunar cycle.
The new moon is a time to reset your intentions, refresh your energy, and look ahead with optimism. It’s a time to get clear on what you want in life and to surround yourself with people who help you feel energized and connected.
It also is a great time to set goals for the coming month. The energies of the moon are very supportive for setting and reaching those goals.
The moon passes through four phases over a period of 29.5 days, each changing its shape in the sky as it moves around Earth. This cycle is called the lunar month.
