The Moon, day by day
Moon calendar: phase, lunar day and Void-of-Course windows
The AstraLink moon calendar tells you what the Moon is doing today — its phase and percentage of illumination, the lunar day, the sign it is moving through and, the part serious users care about, the Void-of-Course windows when it is best not to start anything new. It reads the Moon against your own chart, so it can also tell you which days favour beginning, finishing or resting.
Quick answer
A moon calendar tracks the Moon's phase, illumination, lunar day and sign, and marks Void-of-Course windows — the stretch between the Moon's last aspect in a sign and its move into the next, when new starts tend to stall. AstraLink's moon calendar reads these against your birth chart to show the best days to begin, complete or wait. The next new moons are Oct 10 (Libra), Nov 9 (Scorpio) and Dec 9 (Sagittarius) 2026.

What a moon calendar shows
The Moon moves faster than any other body in astrology — a new sign every two and a half days, a full cycle every month — which makes it the closest thing the sky has to a daily clock. A moon calendar turns that clock into something you can plan around. AstraLink's shows four things at a glance:
- Phase and illumination. New, waxing, full or waning, with the exact percentage lit. Phase sets the tone: new moons for starting, full moons for culmination and release, waning for clearing out.
- Lunar day. Which of the ~29–30 lunar days you are in, each with its own traditional character.
- The Moon's sign. Libra weather negotiates and beautifies; Aries weather pushes; Scorpio weather goes deep. The sign colours the mood of the whole day.
- Void-of-Course windows. The stretch between the Moon's last major aspect in a sign and its move into the next. Traditionally, things begun during a Void-of-Course Moon "come to nothing" — a poor time to launch, sign or propose, and a fine time to rest, tidy or finish. Our full guide to the Void-of-Course Moon explains the why.
Read for your chart, not just the sky
A public calendar tells you the Moon is full in Taurus. Your calendar tells you the full Moon in Taurus lands in your 2nd house, so it is money and self-worth coming to a head this month, not just "stubbornness." Because AstraLink reads the Moon against your birth chart, it can flag the days that matter most for you — when the Moon crosses your Sun, your Ascendant or a sensitive planet — and fold that into your Daily Focus. For the wider month of transits beyond the Moon, the cosmic calendar lists every key date.

Set an intention on the new moon; release or complete on the full moon two weeks later. Times vary by location — the app shows them in yours.
How to use the moon calendar
A simple rhythm most people can follow without learning any astrology.
Release on the full moon
Two weeks later the same cycle peaks. Use it to finish, celebrate, or let go of what the new moon started, rather than launching something new.
Avoid Void-of-Course windows for launches
Don't sign, propose or press publish while the Moon is void. Save those windows for admin, rest and tidying — things you are not trying to make go somewhere.
Follow the waning Moon for clearing
As the Moon shrinks from full back to new, energy favours pruning: ending, decluttering, breaking a habit, closing a loop.
Watch the days it touches your chart
The Moon crossing your Sun, Ascendant or a personal planet is your monthly high-emotion day. The app flags it so nothing catches you off guard.
Moon calendar questions
What moon phase is it today?
The phase changes daily through an eight-part cycle — new, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent — over about 29.5 days. A moon calendar shows the current phase and its exact illumination percentage; AstraLink's also shows the lunar day and the sign the Moon is moving through, and reads them against your chart.
What is a Void-of-Course Moon and why does it matter?
A Void-of-Course Moon is the period between the Moon's last major aspect in a sign and its entry into the next sign, when it makes no new connections. Traditional astrology treats it as a weak time to begin anything you want to progress — contracts, launches, proposals — because such starts tend to fizzle. It is a good time to rest, finish or do routine tasks. The app marks every window.
How do I use a moon calendar for manifesting?
Set intentions at the new moon, ideally in a sign that matches your goal (Taurus for money, Libra for partnership, Leo for creativity), take aligned action as the Moon waxes, then release or give thanks at the full moon. Use the waning Moon to clear what is in the way. Keep it as a rhythm and a focus tool rather than a guarantee of results.
When are the next new and full moons?
In late 2026, the new moons fall on October 10 (Libra), November 9 (Scorpio) and December 9 (Sagittarius); the full moons on October 26 (Taurus), November 24 (Gemini) and December 24 (Cancer). Exact times depend on your location, which is why the app displays them in your own time zone.
Is the moon calendar personalised to my chart?
Yes. Beyond the public phases, it reads the Moon against your birth chart to highlight the days the Moon activates your own planets and houses, and it feeds those into your Daily Focus. That is what turns "full moon in Taurus" into "full moon in your 2nd house of income," which is far more useful for planning.
