Lunar day 3

What a lunar day is

A lunar day is an astrological day within the lunar cycle. The cycle begins with the new moon and lasts about 29.5 days, holding 30 lunar days. The first day is the moment of the new moon, the fifteenth is around the full moon, the thirtieth is the end of the cycle before the next new moon.

Each lunar day has its own character: some suit a brisk start, others a quieter pace and finishing things off. It is a guide, not a rule — lunar rhythms work gently, as background rather than instruction.

What makes our lunar calendar different

The calculations are based on Swiss Ephemeris — the same astronomical database that professional astrologers use. The descriptions of the days draw on classical electional astrology, not on folk superstitions.

A lunar calendar gives the general picture, shared by everyone. To see how a day reads for you in particular, build your natal chart: the Moon's position at your birth and its transiting aspects make it personal.
