How to read the calendar
Each circle shows the Moon at noon in your city. The light part is the lit side. In the northern hemisphere the right side is lit while the Moon grows, and after the full Moon the lit side moves to the left. In the southern hemisphere it is the other way round.
The word under each circle is the zodiac sign the Moon is in. The Moon spends about two and a half days in each sign, so on some days it moves into the next sign later in the day.
Can I get a ready file?
Yes, for New York time and the northern hemisphere: US Letter, A4, US Letter, ink saver and A4, ink saver. The ink-saver version draws the dark part of the Moon with fine lines.
