Lights on the moon

Free. No account needed. Every light shines until the next full moon, then the moon starts fresh.

First, tap the spot on the moon where you want your light.

Short words only. No web links, emails or phone numbers. One light and one birthday candle a night from each phone.

What the old folks said

Hunting & fishing by the moon

The old solunar tables: game and fish feed hardest when the moon is overhead or underfoot (the major times, about two hours) and when it rises or sets (the minor times, about an hour). Best of all in the days around the new and full moon.

Planting by the moon

From the old almanacs. Plant what grows above ground while the moon fills, roots while it shrinks - and best of all when the moon rides in a "fruitful" sign.

The month
Tap a night to see it. Full and new moons are named; blue marks a blue moon, β˜… a supermoon, ◐ an eclipse, β˜„ a meteor shower.
Coming up
Your birthday moon

Put in your birthday. See the moon on the night you were born, the moon on your next birthday, and the birthdays ahead that fall on a full moon.

      A birthday, a wedding, the day someone was born or the day they passed. See the moon that shone that night.

      The Moon Book

      A letter a few days before every full moon: its old name, what is coming in the sky, the best hunting, fishing and planting days, and a little luck.
