The new moon in Sagittarius sows on the horizon: travel, higher studies, philosophy, publishing, foreign places and everything that enlarges your world. Its intentions concern the meaning to give the coming months and the faith it takes to move forward.
The full moon in Cancer, facing the Sun in Capricorn, stretches the home–career axis: what you build outside against what you need inside. The Moon is at home in Cancer: emotions are full, memories surface, family takes the stage, for better or in tension.
The table above gives the Moon’s sign for every day of the month and the exact time of each sign change. The Moon stays about two and a half days in a sign.
The collective mood of the day follows the Moon’s sign: a need for security in Taurus, for exchange in Gemini, for intensity in Scorpio. It is also the basis of lunar gardening and of choosing moments to start or conclude.
