Our dear visitors, regular and not so, the moment has come when we decided once and for all to dot the “i”. Our website and VKontakte group have existed for more than 5 years and we are sincerely grateful to you for choosing us as your main source of information. All this time we tried to meet your expectations as much as possible and improved our site step by step. You often have questions, and mostly the same ones. We decided to create a page in the format of a question – answer, in order to eliminate any misunderstanding.
What are the phases of the moon and how many are there in total?
Traditionally, it is believed that the moon has 4 phases:
- new moon (the ecliptic of the moon and the sun differ by 0°);
- first quarter (the ecliptic of the moon and the sun differ by 90°);
- full moon (the ecliptic of the moon and the sun differ by 180°);
- third quarter (the ecliptic of the moon and the sun differ by 270°).
In this case, the moon can also be diminishing и the growing. At the new moon, the visibility of the moon is 0%, that is, it is not visible at all. Immediately after the moment of the new moon, the moon becomes growing. You may be confused by the fact that during the phase of the Moon I (new moon, I quarter), it can be growing at the same time. In this case, the new moon is just the name of the phase. Thus, there are 4 phases of the moon. In this case, the Moon can be either waxing or waning, with the exception of the moments of the new moon and full moon. The new moon itself and the full moon lasts a matter of minutes, while the day after the onset of a particular phenomenon is usually considered a full moon and a new moon.
On our site, the moments of their onset + 24 hours are considered full moon and new moon. At the same time, the lunar phase of the new moon and full moon last much longer.
If no more than 24 hours have passed since the onset of the full moon or new moon, the word is highlighted in red in the top header of our site, like this:

What time is used on the site?
Our site uses Moscow time (UTC+3:00) while neither summer nor winter time is taken into account. If you want to get data that is as accurate as possible for your location, use a UTC time offset. In the future, we will introduce the possibility of choosing a city so that you do not have to experience inconvenience.
What is the accuracy of the data?
The accuracy of our calculations is very high, up to a minute. We use modern astrological and astronomical software to calculate the lunar days, the zodiac sign of the moon and its phase. You can easily make sure that we are not lying – consult an astrologer about the correctness of the calculations.
Why do I need to believe what is written?
In general, no one forces you to believe what is written. And what’s more, don’t blindly follow advice on how to spend your day. Tips only give you the opportunity to understand the energy of the day and build it in accordance with your desires. They also provide an opportunity to understand the behavior of others, especially on “difficult” days. The authors of the site are categorically against any predetermination. You are the sole creator of your reality. Nothing can stop you from realizing your plans, and our site is just a tool that needs to be used wisely.
As for horoscopes, I would like to say that there is always a choice. Even if the stars promise you a difficult future, you can use this to your advantage. Forewarned is forearmed. In my life, I, the author of this article, experienced many difficult astrological aspects and their combinations. Astrologers frightened me as best they could, and the period was several years. I lived this time absolutely easily, despite the fact that the calculations were really correct, and my birth time was indicated with reliable accuracy. A very “competent” astrologer promised me that I would not live even a week with my future wife. As a result, we have been living for more than 5 years and we have children. Yes, there are challenges, but who doesn’t?
How does the haircut calendar work?
Haircut lunar calendar is a tool that will allow you to choose the best day and even time for a haircut. We have been working on improving it for a very long time and have achieved almost ideal results. Our calendar is unique in that it uses all possible influencing aspects. In addition, it is highly accurate and calculates not only auspicious days, but also a favorable time for a haircut. For this, complex mathematical calculations are used.
