How your Moon sign is calculated (and why birth time & location matter)

Your Moon sign is determined by the Moon’s position along the ecliptic at your exact moment of birth. The calculator converts your local birth time to UTC using your city’s time-zone offset, then computes the Moon’s ecliptic longitude (0°–360°). That longitude is mapped to the 12 zodiac signs in 30° segments.

Why birth time matters

  • The Moon moves about 13° per day (~0.5° per hour). Even small time differences can push the position across a sign boundary.

Why birth location matters

  • Your city provides the correct time-zone and daylight-saving offset so we convert your local birth time accurately to UTC.
  • Latitude/longitude are not used to compute the Moon’s sign directly, but they improve time conversion and are required for angles like the Ascendant.

Don’t know your exact birth time? Try noon as a neutral estimate. If the Moon was near a sign boundary on your date, results may differ; using the most precise time available gives the best accuracy.
