By Lingobi, Published on 04/13/2025

You don’t need to be an astronomer to talk about the moon in Spanish. Whether you’re chatting with someone about the night sky or just pointing it out during a walk, these words come in handy and make your Spanish feel more natural.

Moon Phases in Spanish

La luna nueva — New moon

La luna creciente — Waxing moon

El cuarto creciente — First quarter

La luna llena — Full moon

La luna menguante — Waning moon

El cuarto menguante — Last quarter

Bonus Vocabulary

El cielo — The sky

Las estrellas — The stars

Brillar — To shine

I love learning these little themed sets of vocabulary. They’re perfect for starting casual conversations or just enjoying Spanish in everyday life. Next time you look up at the sky, try naming the moon phase in Spanish. It really sticks that way.
