Image Details:

It is the day moon here in Singapore where it is visible for an hour before it set in the north west direction. The moon was in its waning gibbous moon phase at 98 % full and about 402.569 km away from Earth when this photo was taken. With reference to the Moonology Diary 2021 by Yasmin Boland which I have in my possession, the Hunter's Moon or the full moon of October 2021 is the first one in the new lunar cycle. The previous Full Moon was in Pisces, the last of the 12 signs of the zodiac, and Aries is the first sign . The key energies of the Full Moon in Aries are : Rebirth, Realities, Struggles and Forgiveness.

Judging from the numerous moon photos shared by the community on Earthsky, it seems that many of us look at the moon occasionally during our lifetime for solace. I would like to quote this from the Diary by Yasmin, "No matter where you are in your life right now it's my hope that you'll use the Moon to get yourself to a better place by the time 2021 is over, ............achieve your goals and manifest your dreams, it can happen ! "

Interestingly I dont know how observant the Earthsky community is, the logo of Earthsky contains a crescent moon, so even if you are only looking at the stars or the sun, the moment you are on Earthsky page , you are actually seeing the moon in their trademark logo ! Cheers everyone !
