Moon Sign Today: The Moon Is in Aries

Sunday, August 2 — the Moon is travelling through Aries (Waning Gibbous, 80% lit). Here's what that means for the collective mood today.

What a Aries Moon feels like

An Aries Moon is traditionally associated with a fiery, immediate emotional nature that feels things quickly and acts on them right away. Inner passion runs hot, flare-ups tend to pass as fast as they arrive, and there's little patience for drawn-out moods.

What everyone needs a little more of today: Freedom to act on impulses and take the lead.

Needs excitement, directness, and a partner who keeps things spontaneous and respects their independence.

When does the Moon change sign?

The Moon spends about 2½ days in each sign. It moves out of Aries and into Taurus around Tue 10:35 PM ET, when the collective mood shifts accordingly.
