Clicking on the Display lunation button brings up a window which displays all dates in the current lunation (that is, the lunation containing the date displayed), showing daily images of the Moon beginning with the dark moon, as below, which shows the month of Dionysus in the Archetypes Calendar:
The software supports the following four lunar calendars:
You can select any of the lunar calendars and the lunation display will show the dates in that calendar above the Common Era dates. If the current date is within the month then it is boxed (as shown above).
The lunation always has 29 or 30 days, and the display always begins with the day of the dark moon (in the calendar as used at the specified timezone). The first day of the month in the selected calendar may or may not coincide with that day, but often the calendar month does begin on the day of the dark moon and ends at the day preceding the next dark moon. When this is not so there is usually just one day difference at the beginning or at the end of the month. The only regularity in this respect occurs with the Hermetic Lunar Week Calendar, for which the dark moon always falls on the last day of the month preceding the month shown.
