Currently transiting Aquarius
Ephemeris-backed new moon, quarter moon, and full moon events over the next lunar cycles.
The lunar cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete. Astrology links these phases to energy cycles of growth and release.
The moon phase calendar can support simple monthly cycles: begin projects near the new moon, build momentum through waxing phases, and review outcomes near the full moon. During waning phases, prioritize editing, reflection, and recovery. This rhythm gives structure without forcing rigid rules.
If you keep a short journal, note mood, energy, and major events by lunar phase. Within a few months, you can identify patterns that help you choose better timing for conversations, launches, and personal care routines.
The current Moon sign, phase angle, illumination, and upcoming phase times are calculated from our ephemeris service. Exact event times can differ in your local timezone, so use the displayed time zone when scheduling something time-sensitive.
The practical suggestions here are reflective astrology guidance, not predictions or professional advice. Our editorial methodology and limitations explain how we distinguish the timing data from interpretation.
New moon: choose one intention and make the first practical step small enough to complete within 24 hours. First quarter: solve the first obstacle instead of changing the entire goal. Full moon: review what has peaked, become visible, or needs acknowledgement. Last quarter: simplify, archive, forgive, or remove what no longer supports the next cycle.

The upcoming phase cards above show the next full moon and new moon windows from the current lunar cycle. Use them for planning, then check your local timezone before scheduling exact events.
The moon phase is a useful timing layer, but it is not the whole sky. For major decisions, compare the moon phase with current planetary positions, transits, and your natal chart.
Track one simple habit for one lunar month: intention at the new moon, action at the first quarter, review at the full moon, and cleanup at the last quarter.
Use the current moon card on this page to see today’s moon phase and where you are in the lunar cycle. The phase describes the Moon’s relationship to the Sun, not a fixed personality trait. Pair it with the Moon’s zodiac sign for richer timing context.
The upcoming phase cards show the next full moon and new moon windows from the current lunar cycle. Use them for planning rituals, reflection, and review, then check your local timezone before scheduling exact events. For broader timing, compare the phase with current planetary positions.
The new moon is the traditional phase for setting intentions because it begins a fresh lunar cycle. First quarter supports action, full moon supports visibility and review, and last quarter supports release. Keep intentions practical, measurable, and connected to actions you can repeat.
The moon phase is a helpful timing layer, but it is not the whole sky. For important decisions, compare the phase with the Moon’s sign, current planetary positions, and your birth chart. The planetary positions tool gives the wider transit context.
