Moon Sign Calculator
For entertainment
A couple of details.
Which one are you?
Your Sun sign, the one everybody means. If your birthday is on the edge of two, pick the one you were told.
Which two signs?
No birth time needed for this one. If you know the exact moment for both of you, the full synastry reading is far more specific.
The moment, as exactly as you have it.
Filled in from your last reading. Change anything if this one is for somebody else.

An hour out can move the Rising sign. Midday is a fine guess.
And where.
Filled in from the date and the city, daylight saving included. Change it if you know better.

Your hand is measured. The reading is the distance between it and somebody else's, which means we need one more hand.

Your readings
Judge the sheet, not the individual portraits. If they look like they came from different artists, the style lock needs work.
Nothing yet. Readings you open are listed here.
Where the Moon actually was at the moment you were born, computed rather than looked up.
What a moon sign is
Your sun sign comes from the date alone, because the Sun takes about a month to cross a sign. The Moon crosses one in two and a half days. Two people born on the same date a few hours apart can have different moon signs, which is why a table of date ranges gets it wrong often enough to matter.
In a chart the Moon is read as the private half of a person: how you settle yourself when something has gone wrong, what you need in order to feel safe rather than impressive, what you are like when nobody is watching. Most people recognise their moon sign faster than their sun sign, and usually with less enthusiasm.
How this one works
This does not look you up in a table. It computes where the Moon was at the moment you give it, using the same astronomical model that produces an ephemeris, and reads off which thirty degree segment of the zodiac the result falls in.
The arithmetic runs in your browser, on your own device. Your birth details are not sent anywhere, nothing is stored on a server, and there is no account to make.
Whether you need your birth time
For the Moon, usually not. The exception is a birthday that lands on a day the Moon changed sign, which happens roughly one day in three. On those days the hour decides the answer and there is no way around it.
If you do not have a time, enter midday. It halves the largest error you can make. Birth time matters far more for the rising sign, which moves into a new sign roughly every two hours.
One thing worth saying because most calculators do not: summer time is not applied automatically here. The offset is filled in from the city you were born in, so if you were born in summer in a country that used daylight saving, add the hour yourself. A missed hour is the most common reason two calculators disagree.
What each moon sign needs
Moon in Aries You settle by doing something immediately, even the wrong thing. Sitting with a feeling is the one skill you have not acquired.
Moon in Taurus You settle through the physical: food, warmth, a familiar room, the same walk. Take those away and you are far less steady than you appear.
Moon in Gemini You talk it out, and if there is nobody to talk to you will write it or narrate it internally until it makes sense. Silence does not calm you, it accumulates.
Moon in Cancer You need one person who already knows, so you do not have to explain from the beginning. Without that person you go quiet rather than reaching out.
Moon in Leo You need to be told, in words. You know you are appreciated; that is not the same thing and you have stopped pretending it is.
Moon in Virgo You settle by making one small thing correct. It is not really about the drawer. It is about having something respond to effort.
Moon in Libra You cannot rest while something between you and another person is unresolved. You will concede the point simply to stop the feeling, and resent it later.
Moon in Scorpio You go under and come back up on your own schedule. Being followed down there feels like intrusion, which is hard on anyone trying to help.
Moon in Sagittarius You need the day to be able to change. A fully booked week, even of good things, produces a restlessness you will blame on something else.
Moon in Capricorn You settle when the practical thing is handled. Comfort offered before the problem is solved lands as noise, which people take personally.
Moon in Aquarius You need distance before you need closeness, and you will take it abruptly. People read that as coldness; it is closer to self-preservation.
Moon in Pisces You absorb the room and then cannot tell which feelings are yours. Time alone is not a preference for you, it is how you find that out.
Questions
Can my moon sign be the same as my sun sign?
Yes. It means you were born close to a new moon, the point where the Sun and Moon occupy the same stretch of sky. People born there tend to read as a very undiluted version of that sign.
Why does another site give me a different moon sign?
Almost always the hour. Either a birth time one of you guessed, or daylight saving applied by one calculator and not the other. If your birthday falls on a day the Moon changed sign, an hour is the entire answer.
Is my birth data stored anywhere?
No. The calculation happens on your device. Nothing you type is sent to a server and there is no account.
Is this free?
Yes, and it stays free. There is no trial, no card and nothing that renews.
