Times are calculated for the whole Earth in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); convert to your local time zone, which can move a phase to the previous or next calendar day. The Moon’s sign uses the Western tropical zodiac. Lunar phases are offered here as a rhythm for reflection and practice, not as predictions.
