The first quarter appears as a phase of the Moon when half of its illuminated side is visible from Earth. This occurs about a week after the new moon, when the Moon has moved a quarter of the way through its orbit around Earth. The sunlight is hitting the Moon at a right angle, which creates the half-lit appearance. This phase is often associated with growth and progression in lunar cycles.

When do first quarter moons occur?

First quarter moons occur about a week after a new moon, when the moon has completed approximately one-quarter of its orbit around Earth. During this phase, half of the moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a semi-circular shape. This phase typically happens around the 7th to 8th day of the lunar cycle.
