Moon Age Reference
Chart
The indication of moon age
is shown to indicate the age
of the moon and not its
shape. It can be used as a
general indicator of moon
age.
<Accurate Setting of Moon Age>
Moon age can be set more accurately by setting the moon age either during a new moon
(when the moon mark is not visible; moon age: 0 weeks) or during a full moon (when the
moon mark is facing straight up (in the direction of 12:00); moon age: approx. 15 weeks).
