Moon sign calculator

The Moon moves about half a degree per hour, so a birth time still matters. Without one, the sign is usually right and the degree is a noon estimate.

Without a time, the Ascendant and house cusps cannot be placed.

Calculate to place the sign — a star map and a short reading follow.

Why the Moon needs a time

The Moon travels about 13° a day. A birth time unknown checkbox still returns a sign in most cases, but the degree and house are a noon estimate. For a natal reading, enter the time if you have it.

Moon in every sign

Your birth date, time and place decide which of these is yours — the calculator above works it out from the real position of the sky. Here is what each one means.

Moon in Aries

Feelings arrive as action. The Aries Moon does not sit with a mood; it starts a fight, a run, a message. Safety is motion, and stillness can feel like a threat even when nothing is wrong.

Moon in Taurus

You settle by feeding the body first. The Taurus Moon wants warmth, food, money in the account, a familiar sofa. Upset shows as stubbornness: if the ground moves, you hold still until the ground apologises.

Moon in Gemini

You talk your way back to calm. The Gemini Moon names the feeling so it cannot swallow you — texts, jokes, a second tab. Anxiety is unprocessed chatter; rest is a conversation that finally lands.

Moon in Cancer

Home is not a place so much as a climate you try to rebuild everywhere. The Cancer Moon stores slights and kindnesses with equal fidelity, and withdrawal is how you keep the inner room from being trampled.

Moon in Leo

You need to be received, not merely tolerated. The Leo Moon brightens when someone watches with genuine interest and sulks when effort goes unwitnessed. Pride is the armour; hurt is usually underneath it.

Moon in Virgo

Care looks like fixing. The Virgo Moon soothes by sorting — lists, meals, other people’s problems — and turns on itself when nothing is quite clean enough to allow rest.

Moon in Libra

You feel safest when no one is quietly furious. The Libra Moon reads faces, keeps the peace, and can mislay its own preference in the process. Harmony is nourishment; a one-sided compromise is how you go hungry.

Moon in Scorpio

Nothing emotional is casual. The Scorpio Moon bonds in private and tests in silence. Trust, once given, is total; suspicion, once earned, is hard to talk down with charm.

Moon in Sagittarius

You feel better when the story gets bigger. The Sagittarius Moon needs air — a walk, a belief, a laugh that breaks the spell. Trapped feelings come out as restlessness or a sermon.

Moon in Capricorn

You keep the feeling until it has a job. The Capricorn Moon is loyal, dry-eyed in public, and older than the room. Comfort is competence; sadness waits until the work is done, which is how it becomes architecture.

Moon in Aquarius

You step back to see the pattern, even from your own heart. The Aquarius Moon intellectualises first: friends, causes, the cool take. Intimacy has to be invited past the observation deck.

Moon in Pisces

Moods arrive without a name and leave the same way. The Pisces Moon absorbs the house, the news, the person across from you. Rest is a boundary, not another act of care.
