A List of New Moons for the Year 2024

01/10 – New Moon: Thursday, January 11th
02/08 – New Moon: Friday, February 9th
03/09 – New Moon: Sunday, March 10th

10/31 – New Moon: Friday, November 1st
11/30 – New Moon: Saturday, November 30th
12/30 – New Moon: Monday, December 30th


AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE can pretty much do anything apparently. We told it to “make a list of all the full moons and all the new moons for 2024” … got it mostly right! Had to change a few based on factual info from Time and Date so now it’s 100% legit let’s say, good to go! About half the time. As for you. You’re for sure gonna be fired! A.I. replaced. Lucky for you, sending full moon bday ecards is good cheap (even free) fun!

FORTUNATELY AI CAN’T make or send any of our sweet moon stickers or calendars – we still do that with our good ole’ human hands and dumbass printers, and send em’ with love. Yes there is a free downloadable 2024 moon calendar…

HERE IT IS >>> A free downloadable 2024 moon calendar.

HOWEVER, IMAGE GENERATION – or GenAI – is all the rage. We used the Canvas Magic Media AI and their Dall-E plugin AI, Microsofts’fts Bing Image Creator, and probably some other ones like Adobe to generate these random images – including from a “moon phase illustrations in the mayan calendar style” prompt with some filters (see top and below), so there’s that. Um… and then we put in some other prompts as well (see below below). Yeah.

WE ALSO USED WordPress Assistant AI to generate this text below – about what the Mayan civilization thought about the full moon – but WE’RE NOT GOING TO FACT CHECK THAT ISH. Instead maybe just read this wikipedia on the maya moon goddess before AI fucks up wiki and please forgive & thank us promptly.


“ladies dancing under a full moon” with some silly af filters (same with the mouse above! lol)

“make out scene under a full moon” and same with watercolor filter

“full moon matisse style” and “full moon van gogh style”

“wolves under a full moon” with psychedelic filter

and how could we go wrong with the video prompt: wolves running through the snowy forest with a moon over head and mountains” epic!

AI take on significance of Full Moon in the Mayan Culture (NOT FACT OR BIAS CHECKED)

The Mayan civilization, one of the most advanced ancient cultures of Mesoamerica, attributed profound significance to astronomical events, including the full moon. They were exceptional astronomers and used the motions of celestial bodies for various purposes, from agricultural cycles to religious ceremonies.

For the Maya, the full moon held deep symbolic meaning. It was seen as a potent time for growth, fertility, and transformation. The full light of the moon represented the culmination of energy, a peak of clarity, and the full revelation of intentions and truths. The lunar cycle, including the full moon, was important in Mayan calendars, of which they had several types, such as the Tzolk’in (a 260-day calendar), the Haab’ (a solar calendar), and the Long Count system.

The full moon was also intertwined with Maya mythology and deities. One of the prominent lunar goddesses was Ix Chel, the deity of the moon, water, weaving, and childbirth. She was often depicted with a rabbit, which is also a common motif associated with the moon in various cultures due to the shapes observed on the lunar surface. Ix Chel signifies fertility and rejuvenation, and her association with the moon underlines its role in growth and rebirth.

Furthermore, the Maya believed that the phases of the moon corresponded with the life stages of humans—particularly with the life cycle of women, given the similarities between the menstrual cycle and the lunar cycle. Rites of passage, planting, and harvesting were also timed according to moon phases, with the full moon being a critical calendar marker for such activities.

In agricultural terms, the full moon was understood to affect moisture levels in the soil, which they considered when planning their planting. During the full moon, the increased light at night also allowed for extended activities.

The Maya also used the full moon for divination purposes. They believed that it was a time when the veil between the material world and the spiritual realm was thinnest, allowing for communication with the gods.

In summary, the Mayan culture viewed the full moon as a powerful celestial event that was deeply connected to the rhythms of nature, human life, and the divine. Each full moon brought with it symbolic energy that was carefully observed and integrated into Mayan cultural practices and religious observances.
