What is the lunar calendar?

The lunar calendar shows you which phase the Moon is in each day: new, waxing, full or waning. For centuries it has been used to choose the best time to sow, cut hair, start projects or perform rituals.

Knowing the lunar phase helps you sync your activities with natural cycles and better understand your moods and energy.

How does the lunar calendar work?

Pick a date and we show you the matching Moon phase, the percentage of illumination and the recommendations linked to that phase.

The Moon completes its cycle in about 29.5 days, moving from new to full and back again; each stage is traditionally associated with a different energy.
