Find your Moon sign
The Moon crosses a sign in about two and a half days, so your Moon sign depends on the date, the time and the place of your birth. You will also get the Moon exactly as it looked that night, the phase you were born under, and the lunar day.

How to find your Moon sign
What is a Moon sign?
You know your Sun sign from your horoscope. That is the sign the Sun was in on your birthday. The Moon passes through the same twelve signs, and the one it was in when you were born is your Moon sign. Astrologers read it as your feelings and what you need to feel at home.
Why is my Moon sign different from my Sun sign?
The Sun stays in a sign for about a month, so your birthday gives you your Sun sign. The Moon changes sign about every two and a half days and circles all twelve in 27 days. Two people born a few days apart can share a Sun sign and have different Moon signs.
Why do I need my birth time and place?
On two days out of three, the Moon stays in one sign from midnight to midnight. On the third, it crosses into the next sign at some hour, and your birth time shows which side you were on. Your birthplace tells the calculator which local clock your birth time follows. If you leave out the time, the calculator uses 12:00 and tells you whether the hour changes your sign.
What else does the calculator show?
The calculator shows the phase of the Moon on the night you were born, with the share that was lit. It also gives your lunar day.
How accurate is the calculator?
The calculator works out the Moon's position with astronomy in your browser, and sends nothing you type anywhere. Astrological tradition supplies the meanings, and the site names its sources, among them Alan Leo (1899) and Dane Rudhyar (1967).
