Your Sun sign describes how you shine. Your Moon sign describes how you feel: your emotional needs, your instincts and what makes you feel safe. Use our free calculator to find your Moon sign in seconds.
Calculated with a high-precision lunar model (accurate to well under a minute of arc). For entertainment purposes only. Your answers stay in your browser and are never stored or sent anywhere.
What you need
- Your date of birth, which places the Moon within a two or three-day window.
- Your time of birth, as accurately as you can. A birth certificate or a family member’s memory is ideal.
- Your place of birth, so the time can be converted correctly for your time zone.
Why your birth time matters
The Moon is the fastest-moving body in astrology. It travels about 13 degrees a day and changes zodiac sign roughly every two and a half days. If you were born on a day when the Moon changed signs, a difference of a few hours can change your result. If you do not know your birth time, the calculator will tell you when your Moon sign is uncertain.

Frequently asked questions
Is my Moon sign more important than my Sun sign?
Neither is more important; they describe different things. Many people relate strongly to their Moon sign in close relationships and private moments, when the public-facing Sun sign takes a back seat.
What if I don’t know my birth time?
Enter your date and place and leave the time blank. If the Moon stayed in one sign all day, your result is reliable. If it changed signs, you will see both possibilities so you can read both and decide which feels true.
