Today’s crescent moon already exceeds 30% lighting. It is still in the visible new Moon phase, at the height of the constellation of Libra and descending in its orbit.

We see it becoming more and more illuminated, but curiously it may seem smaller to us than days ago. And, at this moment, it is approximately 400,000 kilometers from us, marking the most distant stage of its monthly cycle.

Although with the naked eye, unless we have a very trained eye, we cannot notice this detail, its energy is felt in a subtle way: The Moon appears a little smaller in the sky at its apogee, but it continues to strongly reflect the light of the Sun, allowing it to cover an increasingly greater proportion of its visible side.

This event invites us to connect with natural cycles, to accept that even in the distance and apparent remoteness, light and power are still present. It will not take long to become evident when the full Moon and the eclipses arrive with the September lunar calendar.
