Full moons and new moons 2023
During 2023, we will have an exact new moon and full moon in the following signs, degrees and lunar houses according to the Vedic astrology.
Since the Vedic astrological system is based on the real position of the constellations, the so-called calculates with the sidereal zodiac - in contrast to western-tropical astrology, where the sign boundaries are based on the annual cycles of the Sun -, therefore the sidereal zodiac is now approx. It is offset by 23.5 degrees from the tropical zodiac. This is also why the full moon and the new moon do not always coincide in the same sign in the Vedic system as in the Western system.
August is a special month this year, as there will be a full moon on both the first and last day of the month, so the moon will be full 13 times in 2023. We will only have 12 new moons, but in the Cancer constellation twice, in July and August.
