Phase
Waxing Crescent

Counted from Cancer, the 7th house is partnership, marriage, close one-to-one bonds and open rivals. The Moon spends two to three days in each sign, so this is where feelings and attention tend to gather for now.

Calculated in your browser. Your date is not sent anywhere or added to the link.

Every position is computed from the same ephemeris the reading uses, at 12:00 UTC unless a time is given, and all times are UTC: in your time zone the Moon may change sign on a different local date. Solar houses count your Sun sign as the 1st house. A rising sign, which needs a birth time and place, gives the fuller picture. These are traditional themes to reflect on, not predictions.
