Mond & Astrologie
In astrology, the Moon rules Cancer and represents your emotional nature, subconscious patterns, instincts, and how you feel safe and nurtured. Unlike the Sun (your core identity), the Moon changes zodiac signs every 2–3 days, creating subtle but significant shifts in the emotional atmosphere we all collectively share.
Tracking the Moon's sign and phase allows astrologers and practitioners to time important activities: start new projects on a New Moon, launch publicly at a Full Moon, clean and release at Waning Moon, and rest near the Dark Moon. This practice — called lunar astrology or working with the moon — has been central to agricultural, religious, and magical traditions for millennia.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is the moon phase today?+
The moon's phase depends on your date and location. Our calculator uses a simplified lunar cycle algorithm (based on the 29.53-day synodic period) to approximate the current phase. The 8 phases cycle from New Moon → Waxing Crescent → First Quarter → Waxing Gibbous → Full Moon → Waning Gibbous → Last Quarter → Waning Crescent, then back to New Moon.
How does the moon phase affect us spiritually?+
Many spiritual traditions hold that the lunar cycle mirrors internal emotional rhythms. The New Moon is a time of planting intentions and new beginnings — energy is inward and potent. The Full Moon brings peak emotional energy, illumination, and release. The waning phases support letting go, reflection, and rest. Many practitioners align meditation, rituals, and manifestation work with the lunar calendar.

What is a Blue Moon?+
A "Blue Moon" traditionally refers to the second full moon within a single calendar month, which occurs approximately once every 2–3 years (hence the expression "once in a blue moon"). An alternative definition, the seasonal Blue Moon, is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Blue Moons are considered auspicious and amplified in spiritual traditions.
How does the new moon affect manifesting?+
In manifestation practices, the New Moon is the most powerful time to set intentions and plant energetic seeds. With the moon in its "reset" phase, practitioners write down desires, create vision boards, or perform rituals. The idea is that intentions set at New Moon are energised as the moon waxes toward Full, reaching fruition or revelation at the Full Moon.
