What sign is the Moon in, and when does it move on?
Signtide answers both in three seconds. A 12-sign dial shows where the Moon is now, and a countdown shows the exact minute it enters the next sign, in your phone's time zone. Plus a month of moon signs and your birth moon sign.
Moon sign times are astronomical calculations. What a sign means for your day is astrology, a tradition for reflection, not a scientific prediction.

FAQ
- Why is my moon sign different from my zodiac sign?
- The sign you know from your birthday is your sun sign: where the Sun was when you were born. The Sun stays in each sign about a month. Your moon sign is where the Moon was, and the Moon moves through all twelve signs in about 27 days, so the two are usually different. Neither one is wrong.
- Why does the moon sign change every couple of days?
- The Moon travels about 13 degrees along the zodiac per day and each sign is 30 degrees wide, so it spends about two to two and a half days in each sign (2.3 days on average). The sun sign changes once a month; the moon sign changes about 13 times a month.
- What time does the moon change signs today?
- It depends on the day: on most days there is no change, and on change days the Moon enters the next sign at one specific minute. Signtide shows that minute in your phone's time zone on the Today screen, with a countdown, and on every day of the calendar.
- Can I find my moon sign without my birth time?
- Usually, yes. On more than half of all days the Moon stays in one sign for the whole day, so the date is enough. If the Moon changed sign on your birth day, Signtide shows both possible signs, before and after the change, so you can narrow it down.
- What is the difference between tropical and sidereal moon signs?
- The tropical zodiac starts Aries at the spring equinox; the sidereal zodiac is tied to the stars. Today the two are about 24 degrees apart, so the sidereal moon sign is often one sign earlier than the tropical one. Signtide lets you switch between tropical and sidereal (Lahiri) at any time.
- Which time zone are the times in?
- All times follow your phone's time zone. A birth time is also read in your phone's current time zone, so if you were born somewhere else, convert your birth time to the zone your phone uses before you enter it.
- Does Signtide need my location?
- No. Moon sign times do not depend on where you stand, only on the moment, so Signtide never asks for location. All calculations run on your phone from published lunar formulas, and it works offline.
- Is it free? Do I need an account?
- Signtide is free and supported by ads. There is no account, sign-up, subscription or locked feature, and saved people stay on your phone.
