What are the Moon phases?

The Moon makes no light of its own; it reflects sunlight. As it orbits the Earth its position relative to the Sun changes, so we see a different part of its lit side. The cycle lasts about 29.5 days and is described by four key moments: new moon (the Moon is not visible), first quarter (a growing half Moon), full moon (the whole face is lit) and last quarter (a shrinking half Moon). Each is a real astronomical instant, and the times on this page are calculated to the minute from the Moon's position relative to the Sun.

How is the Moon's sign found?

Seen from Earth, the Moon goes around the twelve zodiac signs in about 27.3 days and stays 2 to 2.5 days in each. The sign comes from the Moon's ecliptic longitude at that moment. To find the Moon sign of your own birth moment you need your birth date and time.

What does astrology say?

In the astrological tradition the new moon is linked with fresh starts and the full moon with culmination and awareness, and the Moon's sign is said to colour the mood of those days. This is a cultural interpretation, not a scientifically proven effect. Read it for fun and self-reflection and do not base important decisions on the Moon.

Frequently asked questions

How many full moons are there in a month?

The Moon's phase cycle lasts about 29.5 days, so most months have one full moon. When two fall in the same calendar month the second is popularly called a "blue moon", which happens every few years.

How many days are there between a new moon and a full moon?

About 14.8 days pass from new moon to full moon, and the same again to the next new moon. The exact span varies by a few hours because the Moon's orbit is elliptical.

How long does the Moon stay in one sign?

The Moon travels through the twelve signs in about 27.3 days, so it spends roughly 2 to 2.5 days in each. That is why the Moon's sign changes every two or three days.

Is the Moon's current sign the same as my moon sign?

No. The Moon's current sign is its position in the sky right now. Your moon sign is the sign the Moon was in when you were born and depends on your birth date and time.

Which time zone are the dates and times in?

The table uses UTC. In North America the same moment falls several hours earlier and in Asia several hours later, so some phases land on the previous or next day locally. The box above uses your own device's time zone.

What do the full moon and new moon mean in astrology?

In the astrological tradition the new moon is linked with new beginnings and the full moon with culmination and awareness. This is not a scientifically proven effect but a cultural interpretation for entertainment and self-reflection.
