Why the Moon's sign matters
The phase tells you where the Moon is in its cycle with the Sun; the sign colours how that energy feels. A Full Moon in fiery Aries lands very differently from one in watery Pisces. The Moon changes sign every two and a half days, so its mood shifts quickly — and how it touches you depends on your own birth chart.

What the live lunar data means
- Distance & apparent size — the Moon's orbit is an ellipse, so it swings between about 356,500 km (perigee, where it looks largest — a "supermoon" if it is also full) and 406,700 km (apogee, where it looks smallest). The percentage shows how far today sits from the 384,400 km average.
- Speed — the Moon covers roughly 12 to 15 degrees a day, moving fastest near perigee and slowest near apogee, so its sign can change a little quicker or slower than the usual 2½ days.
- Moon age — days elapsed since the last New Moon, across the 29½-day cycle.
- Declination & out of bounds — how far north or south of the celestial equator the Moon sits. When it passes beyond ±23.4° it is out of bounds — an astrological flag for unusually wild, rule-breaking lunar energy.
- Ecliptic latitude — the Moon's tilt above or below the Sun's path; near zero means it is close to a lunar node, where eclipses happen.
