Moon sign calculator

The Moon changes sign every two and a half days, so your birth date alone is not enough. Enter the date, the time if you know it, and the place; we compute where the Moon actually was and read it for you.

Free. Thirty seconds. No account.

Your birth details are used only to write this reading and go nowhere else. Privacy notice

How it works

  1. 1.Your date, time and time zone become one instant in UTC.
  2. 2.We compute the Moon's geocentric ecliptic longitude at that instant, along with the other nine planets.
  3. 3.You get your Moon sign, your Sun sign, the dominant element, and a free first page written from the whole chart.

Questions

What if I don't know my birth time?
We assume noon. The Moon moves about half a degree an hour, so the sign is still right on most days. If your Moon is near a sign boundary the page will say so.
What does my Moon sign mean?
The Moon describes your emotional wiring: what you need to feel safe, how you react before you think, and what you are like at home. The Sun is who you are; the Moon is how you feel about it.
Why does the calculator ask for a place?
Only for the time zone. A birth at 9 pm in Tokyo and 9 pm in Lisbon are nine hours apart, and the Moon moves in that time.
Is this accurate?
The positions come from the same planetary models astronomers use, accurate to well under a degree. The interpretation is written for your chart, not copied from a sign description.
