The moons of June 2026

1. Tuesday, June 9

   ✦Vestalia

   For Vesta of the hearth. The household fire, tended rather than spectacular — the unglamorous keeping that everything else rests on.

Computed with astronomy-engine, which follows the NASA JPL ephemerides. Times are Central (Daylight or Standard as the date falls) and UTC; a moon is one instant for the whole world, so only the clock changes with the zone.

The week after the new moon is for beginning what you decided on at the dark of the moon. The full moon is when it shows, and the days after it are for looking honestly at how it went. The last week before the next new moon is for finishing and clearing. That is the whole method, and the app runs a planner on it for people who run businesses.

The sign each moon falls in colours it. The lines under each moon above say what that sign is like; the house wheel says which of your own houses it lands in, from your rising sign.
