The Moon through the Signs


The Moon’s cycle (the time it takes to orbit the Earth once) is 29 and a half days and she spends approximately two and a half days in each Zodiac sign.

Below is a brief description of the energies you may feel as the Moon moves through each sign. The energies are most potent when it is a Full Moon or a New Moon.

The widget on the right shows which phase the Moon is in right now.

To find out what sign the Moon is in now, see the Void of Course Moon table.

When the Moon is in Aries things move fast and people are impatient. These are good days for forceful, fiery, fearless types who want to take charge. These are not good days for making compromises.

When the Moon is in Taurus things just keep ticking over slowly. These are good days for types who enjoy slowing down and enjoying the finer things in life. These are not good days for making big changes.

When the Moon is in Gemini things become restless and ideas are shared. These are good days for communicative, active types who like to connect with others. These are not good days for standing still and contemplating the bigger picture.

When the Moon is in Cancer things become more nurturing. These are good days for types who like security and prefer being with close loved ones. These are not good days for moving out of your comfort zone.

When the Moon is in Leo things are playful and dramatic. These are good days for prima-donna types who like to perform and gain recognition. These are not good days for being shy and retiring.

When the Moon is in Virgo things become more introverted and analytical. These are good days for helpful, discerning, down to earth types. These are not good days for showing off or going on flights of fancy.

When the Moon is in Libra things become more balanced, harmonious and beautiful. These are good days for sociable, idealistic, fair minded types. These are not good days for selfish, uncooperative behaviour.

When the Moon is in Scorpio things become intense and mysterious. These are good days for deep, forceful, resourceful types. These are not good days for losing control of emotions.

When the Moon is in Sagittarius things are fun and spontaneous. These are good days for adventurous, active, optimistic types. These are not good days for moping, nit-picking or for being pessimistic.

When the Moon is in Capricorn things get serious and disciplined. These are good days for practical, ambitious, organised types. These are not good days for being lazy and shirking duties.

When the Moon is in Aquarius things can be unpredictable. These are good days for eccentric, intellectual, inventive, humanitarian types. These are not good days for following convention and tradition.

When the Moon is in Pisces things are ethereal and dreamy. These are good days for sensitive, intuitive, creative, compassionate types. These are not good days for setting boundaries, rules and limits.
