Moon Phase Return Calculator

What is a Moon Phase Return?

When you were born, the Sun and the Moon were a specific distance apart in the sky. This distance created a unique angle (often called the solilunar angle), which determined exactly what phase the Moon was in—like a Full Moon, a Crescent Moon, or a Balsamic Moon.

Your Moon Phase Return happens once a month when the transiting (current) Sun and Moon recreate that exact same angle in the sky. You can think of it as a monthly astrological birthday just for your emotions, intuition, and inner self.
