Moon phase today and on any date

The Moon today, the Moon on your birthday, and the phase on any date from 1900 to 2100.

Last Quarter, 51% litMoon in Cancer today

At the last quarter, the Moon again appears half lit, but now the light is fading. Astrologers call this a crisis of consciousness, a moment to question what still serves you and what can go. It suits decluttering, ending commitments that feel hollow and reviewing what this cycle taught you. Those born under a last quarter moon are often described as reformers who see beyond the present and want to change outdated systems. Living through it can feel like a quiet clearing of the decks.

When the Moon is in Cancer, its home sign, feelings run closer to the surface for almost everyone. People tend to crave comfort, familiarity and the company of those they trust. These days suit cooking a favourite meal, tidying the home, calling family and looking after yourself and others. Sensitivity is higher, so gentle words go further than usual. It is a good time for nesting rather than pushing hard in public.
