Navigation and Personal Timekeeping

Navigation: Before the advent of modern navigation technology, sailors used the moon's position and phases to aid in navigation at sea. The moon's gravitational pull also influences ocean currents and tides, which are essential considerations for maritime navigation.

Personal Timekeeping: The moon's phases provide a natural rhythm for personal timekeeping and reflection. Some individuals track the lunar cycle for personal or spiritual reasons, using it as a guide for setting intentions, planning activities, or reflecting on personal growth.
