​NORTHERMOST MOONRISE
JAN 2, 2026
I’m out looking for the almost Full Moon Rise. A special moment and horizon alignment rise spot today…far North of East…displaying the Lunar Standstill cycle moment we are in.
Clouds on the horizon are plentiful and temperatures are low, while spirits, wonder and awe are high
Thanks to Archeoastronomy Database for always sharing the alignments and highlights. A wonderful resource for us skywatchers and celestial gatekeepers.
Full Moon Rise tomorrow night will be just a bit further east than tonight…still
good viewing. Many of the world stone calendar sites are built to highlight these special Lunar Standstill rises and sets- North & South of East - West. These alignment markers help our ancestors follow and predict things like eclipses and other cycles. The original Astro Calendars.
Now, most of us have calendars in our pockets - easy access on smart phones - and we don’t “need” a stine temple to discern. AND we still have much to gain by being out in the field, on the land, under the sky when these alignments happen.
Many of us gatekeep this way.
