Frequently asked questions
What does the Moon sign on each day tell me?
It shows the Moon’s tropical zodiac sign at noon in your selected timezone. An ingress marks the time the Moon enters a new sign. Select a date for its noon position, timed events, and traditional interpretations, which are not scientific predictions.
Which zodiac does this calendar use?
The tropical zodiac uses twelve equal 30° signs, starting with Aries at the March equinox. Moon positions are calculated from Earth’s center using astronomy-engine and mapped to tropical signs rather than constellation boundaries.
Why can an event appear on a different date?
The same event can fall on different calendar days in different timezones. Choose your timezone under Your sky to use your local dates and times, including daylight saving changes. Eclipse entries mark global peaks and do not indicate local visibility.
How do I add the Moon calendar to my calendar app?
Open Subscribe to add a live feed to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, or any app that accepts a webcal URL; it updates automatically. Use Export to download a one-time ICS file for import, or a PDF for printing with whole months on A4 pages (up to 24 months) or a data table for your exact date range.
Can I ask the almanac a question?
Yes. Open Ask and type a question, such as “When is the next full moon in Scorpio?” An AI model chooses what to look up and words the reply, but every date, time, and sign comes from AstroMoon’s own calculations, and you can see how each answer was found. You can also describe a printable calendar or .ics file to have the export form filled in for you, or search the traditional sign and phase themes privately on your device. See the AI tab under How we calculate for details.
What does the hemisphere setting change?
Choose Northern or Southern under Your sky to flip the Moon illustrations. Event times, zodiac positions, and illumination percentages stay the same. The Moon’s actual tilt also depends on your location and observation time.
