How it works and what to trust

We compute the moon phase, illumination and lunar-day number exactly — that's astronomy. But the 'do / avoid' meanings are lunar tradition across cultures, a way to tune into the day — not science or prophecy. We give no medical, financial or legal advice. Treat the reading as a gentle guide and make your own decisions.

FAQ

What is today's lunar day?

A lunar day runs from one moonrise to the next; there are 29–30 per month. The tool finds the number from the Moon's phase on the chosen date and shows its meaning.

How is a lunar day different from a moon phase?

The phase is the visible illumination (new, waxing, full, waning). The lunar day is the ordinal day from the new moon (1–30). The phase sets the mood; the lunar day refines it.

Is the moon calendar science?

The phase and lunar-day math are exact, but the "what to do" meanings are cultural tradition — not scientific, medical, or financial advice.

Why enter a birth date?

Only for the personal layer: we compare your natal Moon sign with today's. The field is optional.

Is data saved?

A moon journal and the personal layer are available when you sign in; anonymously you get 3 readings of other days per day, and "today" is always free.
