HELP
How to read the Moon calendar
The calendar combines calculated lunar data with optional reflective planning prompts.
How is the Moon sign calculated?
We calculate where the Moon appears along the zodiac at noon UTC on the selected date. The Moon usually moves into a new sign every two to three days.
Technical note
The calculation uses the Moon's geocentric ecliptic longitude, meaning its zodiac position as viewed from Earth.
What does illumination mean?
It is the percentage of the Moon's visible disk lit by the Sun. It describes appearance, while the phase describes position in the lunar cycle.
Does a phase make a day good or bad?
No. The planning prompts offer a rhythm for reflection; they do not predict whether an event will succeed or fail.
