Common questions

The moon calendar, in questions.

What time are the phases computed for?
In Eastern time. Each day shows the Moon at 10 p.m., and the four principal phases are given to the minute.
Why does the sign change every two or three days?
The Moon goes around the zodiac in about 27 and a half days, so it spends about two and a half days in each sign.
Is this a prediction?
No. It is a reading for reflection: what the sky of your night may reflect of your dream, never what will happen to you.
