Lunar Calendar
The real lunar day, phase, and Moon sign for any date — favorable days for haircuts, gardening, and planting.
How We Calculate the Lunar Day
We calculate the lunar day, phase, and the zodiac sign the Moon is currently in not from ready-made tables, but from the real astronomical position of the Sun and Moon on the chosen date — the same method we use for natal charts. The lunar day is counted as the Moon's "age" within its current 29.5-day cycle from the new moon, the standard astronomical approximation most simple lunar calendars use.
Lunar Calendar for Haircuts, Gardeners, and Planting
The most common questions for a lunar calendar are favorable days for haircuts and a planting calendar for gardeners. Tradition links a waxing Moon with growth (a "grow it out" haircut, planting above-ground crops), and a waning Moon with strengthening roots and letting go of the unneeded. The zodiac sign the Moon is in adds a shade of meaning: the Moon in Capricorn favors strict shapes and order, in Leo bold changes of look, and in the fruitful signs Cancer, Taurus, and Pisces, working with plants. Our calendar of lunar days shows all of this for any date — today, tomorrow, or a month ahead.
Why Follow a Lunar Calendar
Folk tradition links the Moon's phases and days to how favorable it is to cut your hair, work in the garden, start new projects, and make important decisions. This is part of an esoteric tradition, not a scientifically proven method — treat the recommendations as an extra point of reference, not a strict rule.
New Moon and Full Moon
The two key points of the lunar cycle. The new moon is a time for plans and fresh starts: energy is at its lowest, but any intention set during the first lunar days traditionally gains strength alongside the waxing Moon. The full moon is the peak of energy and emotion: things started earlier reach their maximum, while important decisions and confrontations are better postponed a couple of days. Our calendar shows the current phase and the Moon's illumination percentage precisely, from an astronomical calculation, not an averaged table.
