What moon were you born under?

The lunar memory of your birth

Your natal Moon has two layers: the phase shows where in the lunar cycle you arrived; the sign, what you need to feel at home. Enter your date to discover both, along with its illumination and next return.

We only need the day. The phase is very stable; if the Moon changed sign on that date, your result will tell you.

The calculation is made at midday on that day, which is the most sensible thing without knowing the time or the place. For the phase it makes no difference (the Moon takes 29 and a half days to come round), but for the sign it can matter: it changes every two and a half days, and when a change fell on that day, it is flagged here.

Everybody knows which Sun they were born under — that is the star sign. Almost nobody knows the Moon, and yet it was just as much in the sky that day, in a precise phase and with a precise amount of light.

Enter your date of birth and you will see it: drawn as it stood that day, with its age in days, its illumination and the sign it was passing through. Along with what tradition says of those born under each of the eight phases — and how many new moons you have lived through since.

It is calculated, not looked up in a table: these are the same formulas that drive the lunar calendar. To go further, Sun, Moon and Rising sign tells you which sign the Moon was in at your exact hour of birth.
