Your birth date

What your Moon says

In astrology, your Sun sign describes how you show up. Your Moon sign describes how you feel: what you need to feel safe, and what you do when a feeling gets close. The Moon’s phase on the day you were born adds how your feelings tend to move.

The eight phases of the Moon

  • New MoonFeelings start inside, quietly, before they have words.
  • Waxing CrescentFeelings reach out and grow, even while you doubt them.
  • First QuarterFeelings push against something, and tension moves you to act.
  • Waxing GibbousFeelings refine and prepare until they feel right to show.
  • Full MoonFeelings are fully lit, and other people’s moods reach you clearly.
  • Waning GibbousFeelings want to be shared and understood.
  • Last QuarterFeelings turn and sort; you know when something has run its course.
  • Waning CrescentFeelings go deep and quiet; you need stillness to come back to yourself.

Questions

Do I need my birth time?

No. Your birth date gives the Moon’s phase and, on most days, its sign. The Moon changes sign every two to three days, so if it changed on your birthday, the tool shows you when, and your birth time decides which one is yours.

Is this a horoscope?

No. It doesn’t predict anything. It shows where the Moon was on the day you were born and what that says about how you feel.

How is it calculated?

From your birth date, with the same astronomy our personal letters use: the Moon’s position in the zodiac and its angle to the Sun on that day. Nothing you enter leaves this page.

Your Moon is one part. Your letter is written for all of you.
