Moon Ephemeris Table
You're tracking the Moon specifically, and a full ten-column ephemeris is more than you need. This table gives you just the Moon: daily sign, degree, and speed, dense enough to actually be useful for a body that changes sign roughly every two to three days.How it works ↓
Fill in the details above and compute to see your result here.
A dense, printable table of the Moon's daily sign, degree, and speed across any date range, the fastest-moving body in the sky, changing sign roughly every two to three days.
The Moon needs its own table
The Moon moves faster than any other body — roughly 13° a day, changing sign about every 2.25 days. A shared ephemeris table with nine other columns buries that turnover; this one is scoped to just the Moon so the sign changes are easy to scan.
Each row gives sign, degree, and speed
The Moon doesn't station retrograde in the tropical zodiac the way the other planets do, so instead of a retrograde marker, each row tracks the Moon's speed — how fast it's moving that day, which varies with its distance from Earth.
Speed matters here more than for slower planets: it's the difference between a Moon that's about to leave a sign and one that just entered it.
Built for short date ranges
Because the Moon moves so fast, this table is most useful over days or weeks rather than months — a wide date range just produces a long list of sign changes. If you need a slower-moving picture, the full ephemeris or outer-planets-ephemeris cover longer spans more naturally.
No birth chart required
This is Moon position data, not personal data — anyone running the same date range gets the identical table. There's nothing to enter beyond the dates you want.
Built to print
Like the full ephemeris, this table has its own ink-saving print layout with the app chrome hidden — useful for a quick reference sheet you keep at your desk or hand to a student for a week's worth of Moon tracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the Moon change sign?
About every 2.25 days — the fastest sign-change rate of any body this tool tracks.
Do I need my birth chart for the Moon ephemeris?
No. This table shows the Moon's position only, the same for every visitor regardless of birth data.
Why doesn't this table show retrograde?
The Moon doesn't station retrograde in the tropical zodiac, so this table tracks its speed instead, which is what actually varies day to day.
