Today’s Lunar Mansion — Free Moon Mansion Calculator
Mansions of the Moon calculates which of the 28 lunar mansions (Manazil al-Qamar) the Moon occupies right now for your location — along with moonrise and moonset times, the current moon phase and illumination, the Moon’s zodiac sign, and traditional timing guidance drawn from classical Islamic and medieval astronomy.
Each lunar mansion spans 12°51′ of the ecliptic and corresponds to roughly one day of the Moon’s monthly journey through the sky. Classical sources such as the Picatrix assign each mansion a name, a ruling planet, a constellation of fixed stars, and a set of favorable and unfavorable activities — a complete system of lunar electional timing that predates modern astrology.

Lunar mansion calculator questions
What is a lunar mansion?
A lunar mansion is one of 28 stations along the Moon’s path, known in Arabic as Manazil al-Qamar. This calculator divides the ecliptic into 28 equal sections of about 12.86 degrees and uses the Moon’s longitude to identify its mansion. Traditional names and interpretations accompany the astronomical calculation.
How is today’s mansion different from my natal mansion?
Today’s mansion describes the Moon’s position now; the date controls let you explore another day. Your natal mansion is the mansion the Moon occupied at your birth. Use the homepage for current lunar data and the Dashboard’s birth-chart form to find your natal mansion.
What information do I need to calculate my natal mansion?
The birth-chart form asks for your birth date, local birth time, birthplace or coordinates, time-zone offset, and email to save your chart. Check the offset for your birth date, including daylight saving time. If your birth time is unknown, the form offers noon as an estimate; an uncertain time can change the result near a mansion boundary.
How can I explore all 28 lunar mansions?
Open the 28 Mansions guide to browse every mansion’s name, meaning, traditional correspondences, and artwork. Each mansion has its own reference page. The homepage’s mansion navigation also lets you move the calculator to a date when the Moon occupies another mansion.
How should I interpret the traditional timing guidance?
Favorable and unfavorable activities reflect historical astrological traditions, not scientifically established predictions or guarantees. Use them for learning, reflection, or personal practice, alongside practical judgment. They should not replace medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
