Moon Sign vs Moon Phase
Phases describe cycle stage — new, waxing, full, waning. Moon sign describes flavor — Cancer nurturance, Aries initiation, Capricorn structure.
Combine both: a full moon in Leo highlights visibility; a new moon in Virgo favors detailed planning.
Simple Monthly Framework
New moon: set intentions and draft plans. First quarter: take visible action. Full moon: review results and release clutter.
Waning moon: rest, edit, and close loops. Match high-stakes talks to times you can stay regulated, not only "good" signs.
Personalize With Your Chart
Transits to natal Moon matter most. Generic calendars are useful; personal timing is sharper.
