The age of the moon is determined by the period between each new moon. This period is approximately 29,5 days.
Reading and setting the age of the moon
The moon dial represents the age of the moon: The actual shape of the moon during each phase is not represented. Use the moon dial indication as a guide to the age or phase of the moon.
Adjusting the moon phase/age
Check the newspaper or other source that lists the current age of the moon.
Referring to the index, set the moon dial to the age (0, 7,15 or 22) closest to that index position. More accurate settings can be made at the time of the new moon (0) or full moon (15).
