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: New Moon, Crescent, First Quarter, Gibbous, Full Moon, Disseminating, Last Quarter and Balsamic. Each is a 45-degree slice of the Sun–Moon angle that begins at its exact angle (New Moon 0°, First Quarter 90°, Full Moon 180°). On the result screen, Gibbous appears as "Waxing Gibbous" and Disseminating as "Waning Gibbous".
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.
