What sign is the Moon in today?
The Moon changes zodiac sign about every two and a half days, so today's Moon sign depends on the hour as well as the date. This page reads the Moon's position live and shows the exact minute it entered its current sign, and the minute it will leave, in your own time zone.
How this page knows the minute
The Moon's position changes all the time, so this page does not use one sign per calendar day. It reads the exact instant the Moon entered its current sign and the instant it will leave, from a table of every change from 1899 to 2040. The times are then shown in your own time zone, because the sign changes at the same moment everywhere on Earth.
Today's Moon and your own Moon sign
Today's Moon sign is the same for everyone. Your own Moon sign is where the Moon stood when you were born, and it never changes. Astrologers read the two together: a day when the Moon passes through your own Moon sign is often said to feel more personal. The moon sign calculator finds yours from your birth date.
Questions people ask
- How long does the Moon stay in one sign?
- About two and a half days on average, though it varies with the Moon's speed. The countdown at the top of this page gives the exact time left in the current sign, to the minute.
- Is the Moon in the same sign all over the world?
- Yes. The Moon enters a sign at the same instant everywhere. What changes is the clock time: a change at 2:00 a.m. in New York happens at 11:00 p.m. the day before in Los Angeles. That is why this page converts every time to yours.
- What time does the Moon change signs?
- It depends on the day. The Moon keeps no fixed schedule, because its speed varies through the month. The next change is shown at the top of this page in your time zone, and the week ahead is in the table.
- Why do sites disagree on today's Moon sign?
- Often because they show one sign per calendar day, fixed at a set hour in one time zone. On a day when the Moon changes sign, that shortcut is wrong for part of the day. This page shows the exact minute of the change instead.
- Does the Moon's phase matter?
- Astrologers read the phase and the sign as two separate layers. The sign colors the mood of the day. The phase is read as timing: new moons for starting things, full moons for seeing them clearly. This page shows both.
