The moon's position

Where the Moon sits in the zodiac shapes the emotional weather of the day. As it moves through each sign roughly every 2.5 days, our moods, instincts and reactions shift with it.

Phases and their meaning

From new to full and back again, the lunar cycle is a 29.5-day rhythm of beginnings, growth, fullness and release. Each phase invites a different kind of inner work.

Aspects in the sky

When two planets meet at meaningful angles — a trine, a square, an opposition — the resonance between them colours how their energies mix. Tighter orbs mean stronger influence.

Why retrogrades matter

A planet appearing to move backwards in the sky is a signal to revisit, refine, and reconsider. The themes it governs come up for a second look.
