Frequently Asked Questions
What is a natal Moon phase? ›
It is where the Moon stood in the new-to-full cycle at your birth, computed from the longitude difference between Sun and Moon. Each phase is associated with a distinct temperament theme.
How many Moon phases are there? ›
Eight in the astrological tradition: new, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, full, disseminating, last quarter and balsamic. Each spans 45 degrees of the Sun–Moon angle.
Is the phase different from my Moon sign? ›
Yes. The Moon sign describes the language of your emotional needs; the phase describes your position in the cycle. Two people with the same Moon sign can carry very different rhythms in different phases.
What if my phase is on a boundary? ›
The tool computes the Sun–Moon angle to the arc minute, so boundaries are exact; for borderline charts it is common practice to read both adjacent phase themes together.
