The sun lights a different portion of the moon's face during the lunar cycle.
The moon will be a full moon, halfway through the lunar cycle.
waxing gibbous
The lunar phase that precedes a full moon in the lunar cycle is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full.

The appearance of the moon changes throughout the lunar cycle due to its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, creating the various phases such as new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. This continuous movement results in the changing shapes we observe from Earth over approximately 29.5 days.
My menstrual cycle is linked to the lunar cycle. I menstruate on the full moon, or within one day of the full moon. I believe there are studies showing a correlation in some women. http://www.athenainstitute.com/lunarmpl.html
Lunar Cycle
1 lunar cyle equivelent to 29.53059 so what happens in a complete lunar cycle is the lunar cycle forms into a 360 circle
A new moon occurs at the beginning of the lunar cycle, and 28 days later, you would have a full moon. This is because a full lunation cycle, which is the time it takes for the moon to go from new moon to full moon and back to new moon, is about 29.5 days.
I would call it a lunar cycle.
Lunar eclipses can only occur during the full moon. In fact, the moon must be almost perfectly full before there can be a lunar eclipse.
A lunar month cycle, also known as a synodic month, is approximately 29.5 days long. This is the time it takes for the Moon to complete one full orbit around the Earth and return to the same phase, such as from full moon to full moon. Because of this duration, lunar months can vary in length, alternating between 29 and 30 days in many lunar calendars.
