Calculating the Sun-Moon Phase in Your Natal Chart
To Calculate the Sun-Moon Phase you will need to know the total degrees between
the Sun and the Moon. Here’s how to do it:
Move in a clockwise direction from Sun to Moon.
Each Zodiac sign holds 30º.
Add the total degrees between the positions of the Sun and the Moon.
Find the phase of the Moon that has that number of degrees.
This is your Sun-Moon Phase.
There are three calculations:
A. The Sun’s Position: Calculate the # of degrees REMAINING in the Zodiac sign
where the Sun is located.
______º Total Degrees (30)
--- ______º Subtract the Sun’s Position
______º Remaining Degrees
B. Add the degrees from the total number of complete Zodiac signs separating
the Sun and Moon:
TL # of Zodiac signs _____ X 30º = ________º.
C. The Moon’s position within the Sign it occupies : ______________º.
Now simply add the three quatities together: A + B + C = _________________º.
Use the Lunar Cycle Chart to determine which phase of the Moon you born in.
My Sun-Moon Phase is: _______________________________________________
