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 Disseminating phase, with an illumination of 65.01%. 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 May 16, 2026 at 4:01 PM EDT and the next Full Moon is on May 31, 2026 at 4:46 AM EDT.

The Moon is transiting through Aquarius at 0°25'. When the Moon is in Aquarius, people feel more independent and open to new ideas. It’s a good time for thinking differently, helping others, and connecting with like-minded people.

The Moon is 400,021.4 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 -12.08. 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 14.95 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.
