Moon Ingress

Sky event · applies to everyoneSteady♈︎Western Astrology

Moon ingress is the Moon's passage from one zodiac sign into the next, shifting the tone of everyday reactions and routines. Variants are organized by the sign entered: Aries favors quick starts, Taurus steadier progress, and Cancer care and belonging. Read the destination sign first to see what becomes easier to advance and what is better delayed.

In detail

Moon ingress occurs when the Moon's zodiacal longitude crosses a sign boundary, taking effect at entry and ending at the next ingress. In methods that use the void-of-course condition, entry into the new sign also closes the preceding void period. The Moon describes immediate feeling, habitual response, and daily rhythm; the destination sign determines how those functions operate. Compare the twelve variants by pace, emotional expression, and security needs rather than ranking them as simply favorable or unfavorable.

FAQ

How long does a Moon ingress influence last?
It lasts until the Moon enters the following zodiac sign. The period starts at the exact sign boundary and ends at the next ingress, so the current ephemeris provides the relevant entry and exit times.
Does a Moon ingress affect everyone the same way?
No. The destination sign sets a shared emotional and behavioral tone, while the part of life emphasized depends on where the ingress lands in an individual birth chart, so use the general mood first and the personal chart for specificity.
