The Moon in the signs
The Moon in the 12 signs
Your Moon sign describes your emotional style and what makes you feel safe. Read more about each one.
What today's Moon sign shows
The Moon is the fastest body in the horoscope: it travels the whole zodiac in about 27.3 days and spends roughly two and a half days in each sign. That makes "the Moon today" the shortest astrological rhythm there is. It colours the mood of the day rather than the big themes of your life.
In astrology the Moon stands for feelings, habits and the need for comfort and safety. When it is in a fire sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), the day often feels more dynamic; in an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), more practical; in an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), more sociable; in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), more sensitive. Take it as an invitation to observe yourself, not as a forecast.
The phases of the Moon
The phase depends on the angle between the Sun and the Moon. At the new Moon the two share a sign and the Moon is invisible; at the full Moon they sit in opposite signs and the Moon is fully lit. One complete cycle, the synodic month, lasts 29.5 days on average.
- New Moon: a time for intentions and quiet beginnings.
- First quarter: a moment for action and first decisions.
- Full Moon: culmination, clarity and an emotional peak.
- Last quarter: review, letting go and preparing for a new cycle.
Today's Moon and your natal Moon
Today's Moon sign is a transit, the same for everyone. Your personal, natal Moon is where the Moon was at the moment you were born, and it describes your emotional style for life. Many people find the days when today's Moon passes through their natal Moon sign feel especially "theirs". If you don't know your Moon sign yet, you can calculate it for free.
Questions
Frequently asked questions

When is the next new Moon?
The next new Moon is on October 10, 2026, 15:49 UTC in Libra.
What is the difference between my Moon sign and my zodiac sign?
The zodiac sign most people know is the Sun's sign on the day they were born. Your Moon sign is the Moon's sign at the same moment. Because the Moon changes sign every two to three days, you need the exact date, and sometimes the time, of birth to know it.
Positions are computed from astronomical ephemerides (apparent geocentric longitudes in the tropical zodiac) and checked against NASA JPL Horizons.
Astrology is offered here as a language for self-reflection and entertainment, not as a prediction, diagnosis or professional advice.
