   How to determine which of the 8 moon phases a given date falls in:

   On the Natal (or Event) Chart, start at the Sun’s position and then move
   counter-clockwise around the circle to the Moon’s position, counting how
   many degrees of the circle you traverse. This determine’s the Moon Phase.

   New Moon Phase = Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun
   Crescent Moon Phase = Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun
   1st Quarter Moon Phase = Moon 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun
   Gibbous Moon Phase = Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun
   Full Moon Phase = Moon 180 to 225 degrees ahead of the Sun
   Disseminating Phase = Moon 225 to 270 degrees ahead of the Sun
   3rd Quarter Moon Phase = Moon 270 to 315 degrees ahead of the Sun
   Balsamic Moon Phase = Moon 315 to 0 degrees ahead of the Sun

      That is the easy calculation. Looking for an ephemeris giving exact times. Lunarium used to post it.

         Yeah, still waiting on the ‘new’ version of Lunarium too – I sure miss some of their feature that don’t work anymore
