FreeAstroAPIMoon Sign API
Calculate the exact natal Moon position. Often considered more important than the Sun sign for compatibility and emotional analysis.
Why calculation matters?
The Moon moves 13° a day. Date-based lookups are often wrong. We calculate the exact second.
Precision Timing
Vital for users born on days when the Moon changes signs. We guarantee 100% accuracy using NASA-grade ephemeris data.
Emotional Insight
Our "Improved" interpretation style focuses on emotional needs and subconscious patterns, perfect for wellness apps.
Poetic Option
Toggle style: "poetic" for a more lyrical, soulful description of the user's inner moon landscape.

How is this different from the Moon Phase API?
The Moon Phase API calculates the *illumination* (Full, New, etc.) for visual calendars. This **Moon Sign API** calculates the *zodiac placement* (e.g., Moon in Scorpio) for psychological profiling.
Do I need exact birth time?
Ideally, yes. The Moon moves quickly. However, finding the Moon Sign is often possible with just the date, unless the person was born on a day the Moon changed signs. In those cases, time is mandatory for accuracy.
Can I calculate compatibility?
Yes! Use the `abs_pos` from two users to check the angle between their moons. Or use our dedicated Synastry Endpoint for a full report.
