Moon
As the Moon moves through different zodiac signs, it guides our daily emotions and gut reactions. The sign it’s in shows how we care for ourselves and others and shapes how we respond to what happens around us.
The Moon is in its Balsamic phase, with an illumination of 0.17%. The Moon's phase results from how the Earth, Moon, and Sun align. Each phase has its own astrological significance and influences how we experience emotions and energies.
The next New Moon is on January 18, 2026 at 2:52 PM EST and the next Full Moon is on February 1, 2026 at 5:10 PM EST.
The Moon is transiting through Capricorn at 25°25'. The Moon in Capricorn brings a serious and focused mood. People may feel more responsible and want to work toward goals or make plans that give them a strong foundation.
The Moon is 396,264.3 km away from Earth. This distance represents the current separation between the Earth's center and the Moon's center, which varies throughout the lunar orbit as the moon follows an elliptical rather than circular path.
The magnitude (brightness) of the moon is -5.64. This is a measurement of the Moon's visual brightness as seen from Earth, where lower (more negative) numbers represent brighter objects. It varies throughout the lunar cycle, reaching a maximum (around -12.7) during a Full Moon.
The apparent angular radius of the moon is 0.25° (or 15.09 arcminutes) when viewed from the earth. This measurement describes how large the moon looks against the sky, expressed as an angle rather than a physical size.
House Cusps
The house cusp positions show where each of the twelve houses begins, marking their exact zodiac sign and degree. These cusps define the boundaries between houses, with each house governing a specific area of life.
