The above table demonstrates how much (i.e. which phase) of each moon is visible on the 1st and 2nd days of each month. The use of a "-" sign after the percentage indicates that the moon is getting smaller (waning) during this period, while the use of a "+" sign after the percentage indicates that the moon is getting bigger (waxing).
For example: On the 1st and 2nd of Ardan, Ardan is full (100%), Drome is 75% full (waxing), Jhang is 50% full (waxing), Laeolis is 25% full (waxing), Phandir is 25% full (waning), Talisandre is 50% full (waning), and Zar is 75% full (waning).
To work out roughly how much of the moon is visible on any date between the 1st and 2nd of each month, add or subtract (depending on if the moon is currently waxing or waning) 0.53% per day's difference (or 0.5% if you just want a rough idea). The exception to this is the monthly period between when the moon in question is 25% waning and 25% waxing:
Because of the radiance of the twin suns, there are no "no moon" periods, and the monthly period between when the moon is 25% waning and 25% waxing is marked by a dip to its lowest visible percentage (12%waning on the 23rd, and 12%waxing on the 24th).
The Septenarial Concordance (7th - 20th Zar)
During this 14 day period, Talislanta's seven moons form a perfect line across the heavens. This period is ill-aspected because Talislanta's weather and oceans seem extremely tumultuous during the 14 days.
The Ghost Moon (49th Laeolis)
Laeolis (75.5% full, waning) passes Phandir (99.5% full, waxing) in the night sky, their combined radiance merging so as to appear as a single, eerie, blue-green "ghost" moon.
