Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lunar calendar?

A lunar calendar tracks the Moon's phases — new, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent — over a complete cycle (29.5 days). It also notes which zodiac sign the Moon transits each day.

How do I read a lunar calendar?

Look for the date you care about, note the moon phase (waxing = building, waning = releasing), and the sign the Moon is in (which colors the emotional flavor of the day). Use new moons for setting intentions; full moons for completion and release.

How long is a lunar cycle?

About 29.5 days from one new moon to the next — called a synodic month. The Moon transits each zodiac sign for about 2.5 days, completing a full zodiac cycle every 27.3 days (sidereal month).

What is a void of course Moon?

When the Moon has finished its last major aspect to a planet before changing signs, it is "void of course" — traditionally a poor time for starting new projects, signing contracts, or making big decisions. Void periods last anywhere from a few minutes to a full day.

How does the lunar calendar relate to manifestation?

Many people align goal-setting with the moon cycle: set intentions at the new moon, build through the waxing phase, harvest at the full moon, release through the waning phase. The lunar calendar gives you exact dates for each step.

When does the 2026 lunar calendar start?

The astronomical lunar calendar runs continuously — there is no "start." Astrologically, many practitioners mark the year from the spring equinox (around March 20) or from your own birthday solar return.
