The Moon today inaugurates the October lunar calendar just located in the second quarter of the lunar cycle, in growing phase. This lunar phase is specifically known as the waxing gibbous Moon phase, since the bulging that it presents on the less illuminated side of its visible side can resemble that of a hump.

It is fascinating to think that, as the Moon’s illumination increases in front of us, the illumination decreases for imaginary spectators who could be watching it from the part of the universe behind them. Those spectators might think the same thing about what happens on Earth with our day and night seen from their perspective.

The sky offers us with its rhythmic movements the opportunity to connect with the magic of what surrounds uswith that pulse that breathes the universe of which we are part. On Earth, energy expands and accelerates with the change in the physiognomy of our satellite during this lunar phase, although the countdown to the next full Moon has only just begun.
