The lunar calendar provides the exact times when the Moon transitions from one sign to another. A lunar month can begin on any day of the calendar month.
When transiting through fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), the Moon brings a surge of energy. People become more active, aggressive, and prone to conflicts. Blood pressure, body temperature, and stomach acidity may increase (especially in those with existing health issues). Fires are more likely to occur on these days. It’s important to be cautious of burns.
When the Moon transits through earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), work of any kind—even the most mundane—gets done efficiently. Even those who typically avoid work feel inclined to be productive. These days are ideal for organizing things and affairs. People become more practical, logical, and rational.
When transiting through air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), the Moon makes people more active, mobile, and sociable. However, nervousness tends to increase during these periods.
When the Moon moves through water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), individuals become more relaxed and emotional. Delays are more common on these days. Memories, often unpleasant ones, resurface, and past grievances come to mind. Professional activity slows down. Vision may deteriorate temporarily, blood pressure might drop, and fatigue levels increase.
Moon transits are considered favorable in the first, third, sixth, seventh, tenth, and eleventh houses from the natal Moon.
The Moon stays in each sign for about two and a half days. It is never retrograde, forming cycles (a full cycle is 27 days).
In the sign of Taurus, the Moon is exalted, where it has the greatest potential.
In Cancer (its own sign), the Moon is slightly less strong than in Taurus but still retains significant strength.
In the signs of Gemini, Leo, and Virgo (friendly signs for the Moon), the Moon is less powerful than in its exaltation or own sign but still retains considerable strength.
