Question 1

Which days in the next 180 are best to travel?

Accepted Answer

By traditional Moon-sign and phase lore, 14 days from Tue, Oct 27 to Sat, Apr 24 rate good or better. The nearest is Sun, Nov 1; the top pick is Sun, Nov 1.

Question 2

How are Moon days worked out?

Accepted Answer

We take the Moon’s sign and phase at local noon in America/New York. If the Moon changes sign within two minutes of noon, the day is rated on the less favorable side.

Question 3

Is this science?

Accepted Answer

No. It follows old almanac lore about the Moon. The Moon positions are real astronomy; the meaning given to them is tradition.

Question 4

What are the best days to travel by the Moon?

Accepted Answer

In Moon lore, the best travel days are the ones when the Moon is in Leo. Leo is the only sign this site counts as best for travel, and no other sign is listed as merely good. The Moon phase does not matter here, so a Leo day can fall on any phase, including a full Moon, a new Moon or a waxing Moon.

Question 5

Which Moon sign is good for travel?

Accepted Answer

Leo is the sign Moon lore names for travel. No other sign is on the list of good signs for a trip. If you want a lore-based pick, look for days marked with the Moon in Leo.

Question 6

What is the luckiest Moon phase for a trip?

Accepted Answer

There is no special phase for travel in this lore. The best days are set by the Moon sign, and any phase is accepted, whether full Moon, new Moon or waxing Moon. So a lucky travel day can show up at any point in the Moon cycle.

Question 7

Which days should I not travel by the Moon?

Accepted Answer

No Moon sign is ruled out for travel on this site. Days are simply listed as best when the Moon is in Leo, and other days are not recommended. A day left off the list is not a warning, only a day that tradition does not single out.

Question 8

Does the Moon phase matter for a trip?

Accepted Answer

Not in this lore. For travel, the phase can be anything, and the Moon sign is what counts. Other Moon traditions may weigh the phase differently, and practice varies from source to source.

Phase	What you see	Almanac lore	Next
New Moon	The Moon is dark and almost invisible.	Old almanac lore treats it as a time to rest, plan and start something quietly.	Nov 7 – Nov 10
Waxing Crescent	A thin sliver lit on the right (northern hemisphere), growing each night.	Lore calls it a time to set intentions and begin building.	Nov 11 – Nov 14
First Quarter	Half the disc is lit; the Moon is high at sunset.	Lore calls it a time to act, decide and push through obstacles.	Nov 15 – Nov 18
Waxing Gibbous	More than half is lit and still growing.	Lore calls it a time to refine, adjust and get ready for the peak.	Nov 19 – Nov 22
Full Moon	The whole disc is lit and rises around sunset.	Lore calls it a time of peak, completion and celebration.	Oct 27
Waning Gibbous	More than half is lit, but shrinking each night.	Lore calls it a time to share, give thanks and pass things on.	Oct 28 – Oct 30
Last Quarter	Half the disc is lit again, on the opposite side from the first quarter.	Lore calls it a time to let go, review and clear away what no longer works.	Oct 31 – Nov 2
Waning Crescent	A thin sliver before dawn, fading toward the next New Moon.	Lore calls it a time to rest, finish up and prepare for a new cycle.	Nov 3 – Nov 6
