Fortune Cookies
The Moon is the fastest thing in a chart: it changes sign every two or three days and phase once a week. That is why it gets its own search. Ask when the Moon was or will be in the sign you need, when the new and full moons land, when the void-of-course pauses run, and when the eclipses happen.

What you can find here
Why look up when the Moon is in a particular sign?
The Moon's sign sets the mood of the day: in Taurus you want calm work and good food, in Gemini the day splits into a dozen small errands, in Cancer you want to be home. Plenty of people schedule meetings, conversations and haircuts around it. The Moon crosses a sign in two or three days, so there is no shortage of options in a year.
What is a void of course Moon?
It is the pause between the Moon's last exact aspect in a sign and its move into the next one: the Moon is connected to nothing. Things begun in that window often don't follow the plan – they don't collapse, they just drift sideways. The windows run from a few minutes to half a day; there is more detail in on the Void of Course Moon page.
How is an eclipse different from an ordinary lunation?
An eclipse is the same new or full moon, but landing near a lunar node, when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up almost exactly. Astrologically it counts as amplified: what happens on that day runs for months rather than a week. The full list lives in Eclipses.
Why do your times differ from other sites?
Everything here is Eastern Time, to the minute. Most other services publish in Universal Time – four or five hours of difference, which puts their night-time events a day earlier.
