Local: Oct 2, 1853, 10:19 PM UTC
The Moon conjoins the Sun, becoming invisible and combust. Classical doctrine regards this as the weakest lunar condition - the Moon is without light, applying to the Sun, and incapable of reflecting its rays.
New Moon in LibraLocal: Oct 9, 1853, 3:26 PM UTC
The Moon stands in square (quartile) to the Sun, having completed one quarter of its synodic cycle. Classical doctrine marks this as a moment of tension, decision, and action - the Moon's will presses against the solar principle.
First Quarter in CapricornLocal: Oct 17, 1853, 12:32 AM UTC
The Moon stands in opposition to the Sun, achieving maximum illumination. Classical doctrine treats the Full Moon as a peak of lunar expression - the Moon is fully lit, powerful, and separated from the Sun by the widest arc.
Full Moon in AriesLocal: Oct 25, 1853, 5:20 AM UTC
The Moon stands in its third square to the Sun, now waning and decreasing in light. Classical doctrine marks this as a moment of release, clearing, and dissolution as the cycle moves toward its end.
Last Quarter in LeoEach row uses a noon UTC reference for the daily phase and Moon sign. Major lunations and sign ingresses keep their calculated UTC moments.
