Where are the Sun and Moon?

Where will the sun be? Where will the moon be?

How observant are you in nature, of things around you?

If you are unsure of where you are when driving the car does the sun help?

The sun, masculine, yang, rises in the East.

I live on an East coast so the sun always rises over the sea, and sets behind the mountains to the West.

The Moon, feminine, yin, is at different places in the sky from day to day.

At full moon as the sun sets in the West the moon will be in the East as the sun shines on the full visible side. So for me full moon is always shining across the sea, truly magic.

At new moon, before it is fully dark you may see the outline to the West. Next evening the full dark outline is still visible but you can see that small crescent as the sun is blocked from the major part of the moon. Sun and moon are both in the West at sunset.

So you need to drive north at midday and the sun is in your face? Turn round and go the other way – unless you are in the Southern Hemisphere!
