Flexi Says: Throughout the year, the moon rises on an average of about 50 minutes later than the previous day. Thus, if the moon rises on March 1 at 6 pm then on March 2, it will rise around 6:50 pm. However, near the autumn equinox, the difference between the time of moonrise in two consecutive days reduces to 30 minutes. Thus, if the moon rises on September 21 at 6 pm, then on September 22, it will rise at 6:30 pm.
