Moon calendar for December 2026

Days with the Moon in Aries are read as quick and direct. Starting feels easier than waiting, and many people find they say what they mean without much detour. A good day to begin the one task you have been putting off, and to keep it short.

With the Moon in Taurus the pace slows down. These days are read as steady and down to earth, and simple pleasures tend to feel especially good: a proper meal, familiar music, time outdoors. A good day to finish one thing calmly instead of starting three.

Curiosity sets the tone while the Moon is in Gemini. Conversations, messages and short errands tend to flow, and attention likes to jump from one topic to the next. A good day to call someone you have been meaning to reach, or to read up on a question that keeps coming back.

The Moon in Cancer is read as a homecoming: the mood turns softer and more private. Many people find that closeness, familiar rooms and old memories matter more than plans. A good day to cook for someone, tidy a favorite corner or spend the evening at home.

Warmth and a bit of show belong to days with the Moon in Leo. They are read as generous and playful, and many people find it easier to be seen and to give a compliment. A good day to make something with your hands or to celebrate a small success.

When the Moon is in Virgo, attention goes to the details. These days are read as practical and clear-headed, and sorting, fixing and finishing tend to feel satisfying. A good day to clear your desk, answer the open messages or put one small routine in order.

Balance is the theme of days with the Moon in Libra. They are read as sociable and even-tempered, and many people find it easier to listen, to weigh both sides and to meet halfway. A good day to settle a small disagreement kindly, or to make one room a little more beautiful.

The Moon in Scorpio is read as a time of depth and focus. Small talk tends to feel thin, and many people find they want honest conversations and undivided attention for one thing. A good day to work on something that needs concentration, or to ask the real question.

A wider view sets the mood while the Moon is in Sagittarius. These days are read as open and optimistic, and big questions, travel ideas and frank words come easily. A good day to take a different route, learn something new or plan a trip you would love.

With the Moon in Capricorn the mood turns sober and purposeful. These days are read as good for structure: many people find that planning, steady work and keeping a promise feel right. A good day to tackle the task that needs patience, one step after the other.

A cooler, clearer head goes with the Moon in Aquarius. These days are read as inventive: some distance from feelings makes it easier to see the larger picture, and friends and shared ideas move into the foreground. A good day to try a new approach or to meet people who think differently.

Under a Pisces Moon the edges soften. These days are read as dreamy and receptive, and music, imagination and compassion tend to come easily while strict schedules feel harder. A good day to leave some time unplanned, to listen to a favorite album or write down a dream.

The Moon stands in the same direction as the Sun and cannot be seen. Astrologers read the New Moon as a quiet beginning: a time to set a direction, sow an idea and write down one thing you want to start.

A thin crescent appears in the evening sky after sunset and grows from night to night. This phase is read as the first push: something new needs to take hold, so it is a good time for small, concrete first steps.

Half of the Moon's disc is lit, and it stands in the evening sky. The first quarter is read as a time to decide and act: friction shows what a plan needs, and many people find it easier to commit.

More than half of the disc is lit, but the Moon is not yet full. Astrologers read this phase as a time to refine: to check, adjust and improve what you have begun before it reaches its high point.

The whole disc is lit: the Moon stands opposite the Sun and rises around sunset. The Full Moon is read as the high point of the cycle: things become visible, and it is a good time to review and to let go.

The disc is still almost full, but its light is shrinking and the Moon rises later each evening. This phase is read as a time to share: to pass on what you have understood, by telling, teaching or showing.

Once more half of the disc is lit, now late at night and in the morning sky. The last quarter is read as a time to re-evaluate: to question what no longer fits, sort things out and change course where needed.

Only a thin crescent is left, in the morning sky before sunrise, and it gets smaller each day. This phase is read as a time to complete: to finish, let go, rest and reflect before the next New Moon begins the cycle again.

It is calculated from the Moon's position in the sky. Astronomy gives the exact place of the Moon along the zodiac for any moment, and the sign that place falls in is the Moon sign of the day. It is a calculation, not an opinion.

The Moon circles the Earth, so seen from here it moves through the zodiac far faster than the Sun or any planet. It stays in each sign for about two and a half days and then moves on. That is why a moon calendar changes its tone every few days.

The moment is the same all over the world: the Moon enters a sign or reaches a phase at one instant for everyone. Only the clock time differs, because it depends on your time zone. This calendar shows Eastern Time in English and Central European Time in German.

The Moon sign of the day describes the sky right now and is the same for everyone. Your own Moon sign is the sign the Moon stood in at the moment you were born. It stays yours for life and is read as what you need to feel safe.
