Moon map — the main reading

Astropsychology of the Moon — what and how we analyse

The Moon in the natal chart is not 'emotionality in general' but a concrete mechanism: the sign shows how you feel and what calms you, the house — where you look for safety, the dispositor and aspects — through whom and with what effort it comes. The Moon phase at birth (the Sun–Moon angle) sets the innate rhythm — to begin, refine, manifest or complete; the lunar day of birth is counted from the previous new Moon.

The Moon's motion is three layers we compute by code: the progressed Moon (one day after birth equals one year of life; a sign change roughly every two and a half years and the phase of the 27-year cycle), the lunar return (the chart of the moment the Moon returns to its natal degree, monthly) and the transiting Moon to your points — the basis of the personal calendar.

The calendar follows classic rules: haircuts on the waxing Moon in Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus and Libra; care and masks with the Moon in water signs and Taurus; cleansing on the waning Moon in Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn; beginnings on the waxing Moon with harmonious aspects to the Sun, Moon and Ascendant; rest around the new Moon and in Pisces. All relative to your chart, not the general sky.

We give no diagnoses and compute no cycle dates: body and rhythm are read as registers. The chart shows how to care for yourself — the decision is always yours.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lunar day of birth?

The number of the lunar day at the moment of birth, counted from the previous new Moon. We compute it from ephemerides, not tables, and read it together with the Moon phase at birth.

How does the progressed Moon differ from the transiting Moon?

The transiting Moon is the real Moon in the sky today, changing every two and a half days. The progressed Moon is symbolic: a day after birth equals a year of life, the sign changes every 2–2.5 years and shows the chapter of the emotional cycle.

What is a lunar return?

The chart of the moment the transiting Moon returns to the degree of your natal Moon — every 27.3 days. The Ascendant and houses of the lunar return show where this lunar month's accent is.

Is the haircut calendar a general lunar calendar?

No. We combine the general rules by phase and Moon sign with your chart: the transiting Moon's aspects to your Sun, Moon, Venus, Saturn, Neptune and Ascendant change the day's rating.
