2013 Moon Phases
-
 Working With The Moon- Every Witch should know which days to work and which to take
off. Which moon phases are best for what kind of casting and
which are for rest. These guidelines are not cast in stone and
certainly if you have a friend in dire need of healing, you don't
need to wait until the next Waxing Moon to cast. But when possible
and for the best results here's the Moon Phase Calendar for this
year to help you plan your work.

- 2013 Event Notes:
- April 25, 2013
- The first lunar eclipse of 2013 occurs at the Moon's ascending node in southern Virgo about 12° east of Spica (mv = +1.05).
It is visible primarily from the Eastern Hemisphere.
-
- May 10, 2013
- The first solar eclipse of 2013 occurs at the Moon's descending node in
eastern Ares.
An annular eclipse will be visible from a 171 to 225 kilometre-wide
track that traverses Australia, eastern Papua New Guinea, the Solomon
Islands, and the Gilbert Islands.
A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's
penumbral shadow, which includes Australia, Indonesia, Oceania and much
of the central the Pacific Ocean
-
- May 25, 2013
- The second lunar eclipse of the year again occurs at the Moon's ascending node in Scorpius. During the event, the Moon will be visible from the Americas and western Africa.
-
- October 18, 2013
-
The last lunar eclipse of the year is a relatively deep penumbral eclipse with a magnitude of 0.7649.
It should be easily visible to the naked eye as a dusky shading in the southern half of the Moon. Eastern Canada will see the entire event while the rest of Canada and
the USA will see moonrise with the eclipse already in progress.
Observers in Europe and Africa will also see the entire event, while
eastern Asia misses the end because of moonset.
-
- November 3, 2012
-
The final event of 2013 is the most interesting eclipse of the year.
It is one of the rare hybrid or annular/total eclipses in which some
sections of the path are annular while other parts are total.
The duality comes about when the vertex of the Moon's umbral shadow
pierces Earth's surface at some locations, but falls short of the planet
along other sections of the path.
The unusual geometry is due to the curvature of Earth's surface that
brings some geographic locations into the umbra while other positions
are more distant and enter the antumbral rather than umbral shadow.
In most cases, the central path begins annular, changes to total for the
middle portion of the track, and reverts back to annular towards the
end of the path.
-
-
However, November 3 eclipse is even more unique because the central path
to begins annular and ends total.
Because hybrid eclipses occur near the vertex of the Moon's
umbral/antumbral shadows, the central path is typically quite narrow
-
-
The hybrid eclipse of 2013 is visible from within a thin corridor, which
traverses the North Atlantic and equatorial Africa.
A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's
penumbral shadow, which includes eastern North America, northern South
America, southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
