Domicile
The Moon's own sign, the place of her own rulership. She is at her most herself here.
A daily record of the Moon
Where the Moon is today, and what twenty centuries of writing said about it.
A short letter every morning on the Moon's real position, read through the old astrological texts. Older and more specific than anything an app will tell you.
Monday to Saturday, plus a long Sunday issue.
What you will not find here
Not a horoscope. A record.
No one here will tell you what the universe has planned for you. Each letter reports what the tradition held about today's sky, plainly, and leaves the rest to you.
Every issue holds at least one thing you can look up and confirm: the placement, a named text, a dated event, or a traditional term.
- No predictions. Nothing about what will happen to you.
- No affirmations. No rituals, no intentions to set, no journal prompts.
- No homework. No takeaway, no action step, no lesson.
- No guesswork. The position comes from that morning's data, never from memory.
The shelf
Eight writers, sixteen centuries apart.
Every letter draws on the same short shelf of sources. Choose one to see where it sits.

Dorotheus of Sidon
Carmen Astrologicum
The vocabulary
The words the old texts used.
Each letter defines its terms the first time they appear. A few you will meet often:
Exaltation
Where the tradition placed her at her highest dignity.
Detriment
The sign opposite her domicile, where she was held to a colder discipline than suits her.
Fall
Not a bad placement, only one where the Moon has almost none of her usual authority.
Peregrine
From the Latin for foreigner or traveler. Passing through a sign with no home and no office there.
Void of course
The interval after the Moon completes her last major aspect in a sign and before she enters the next.
