At the new moon, the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun: its lit side faces away from us, and it all but vanishes from the sky. Tradition sees it as a moment to set an intention.

Mercury, Venus, and Saturn are retrograde: seen from Earth, these planets seem to move backward against the stars. It’s a perspective effect, caused by our different speeds around the Sun; astrology sees it as a time to retrace your steps.

How is Oracoo’s horoscope calculated?

Every day, Oracoo calculates the real sky: the Moon’s sign and phase, the position of the Sun and those of five planets, using a free, open-source astronomy library.

For each sign, we then look at which house the Moon is passing through: house 1 is the sign itself, house 2 the next sign, and so on up to 12. The house sets the theme of the day, and the horoscope’s sentences (mood, heart, projects, advice) are picked within that theme.

The sentences rotate from one day to the next so they don’t repeat, and the Moon’s phase sets the opening tone. The result: a different horoscope every day for each of the 12 signs.

It’s a game: astrology is a tradition, not a science, and the sky decides nothing. But the Moon is very real, and it really is where we say it is.

What are the zodiac sign dates?

Your sign depends on where the Sun was on the day you were born. The usual dates below can shift by a day depending on the year: for a birthday on the edge of two signs, the zodiac compatibility calculator uses the Sun’s exact position.

Frequently asked questions

What time does the daily horoscope change?

At midnight UTC: that’s midnight in London in winter (1 a.m. in summer), and 7 p.m. the day before in New York in winter (8 p.m. in summer). The sky is calculated for noon UTC on that day.

Do two people with the same sign read the same horoscope?

Yes: the daily horoscope depends on the sign and the date, not on the person. For a message that’s yours alone, open your daily oracle, which takes your birth date into account.

What does “the Moon is passing through your house 5” mean?

Houses are counted from your sign: house 1 is your sign, house 2 the next one, and so on. When the Moon is in the fifth sign counting from yours, it’s passing through your house 5, the house of pleasure and creativity.

Why do people talk about Mercury retrograde?

Several times a year, Mercury seems to move backward in the sky, as seen from Earth. Tradition turned it into a season of mix-ups; we turn it into a wink, a sentence now and then in the horoscope.

Can the horoscope predict my day?

No. It’s a text to play with your intuition, with no promises about the future. To put your intuition to the test, read the cards for someone in your crew.
