About This Site

Lunar Calendar (lunarcalendar.eu) is a daily calendar of the Moon. For every day it shows the phase and how much of the Moon is lit, the sign the Moon is in, the day of the lunar cycle, the distance from Earth, and the next full moon and new moon, along with the traditions that have followed that rhythm for centuries: planting by the moon, cutting hair by the moon, and the lunar lore of food and the body. The site has published a daily lunar calendar since 2014, and the current version, launched in late 2026, was rebuilt from the ground up.

Who writes it

The site is written and run by Jaroslav Bryndza, a web publisher based in Slovakia who has built and maintained calendar sites about the Moon since 2014. The astronomical pages are computed, checked, and written up by the editor; the traditional layers, from the garden to the hairdresser, are collected from the almanac and lunar-calendar traditions of Europe and North America and written for this site. Where the site says “we,” it means its editor.

What the site stands for

A few rules hold on every page. The first sentence answers the question you came with: a date, a time, a phase, a sign, or a verdict. The astronomy is stated plainly and calculated rather than copied; the methodology page lists the sources and conventions, including the choice of UTC as the reference time, with your local time shown next to every moment. Traditions are presented as traditions, labeled as such and never oversold: the site tells you what gardeners or hairdressers have traditionally done with the lunar rhythm, and answers honestly when you ask whether it works. Nothing here is scored, ranked, or dramatized; there are no lucky signs, no strongest moons, and no warnings. Health and food layers are lunar tradition, and the site does not time treatment by the Moon.

How it is made

For every date from 1900 to 2100, the position of the Moon is worked out from standard astronomical models, and the results are cross-checked against NASA and almanac listings for full moons, supermoons, and eclipses. The pages are the same for everyone: nothing on them depends on who is reading, the times are in UTC, and your browser adds your local time. The site has no accounts, no newsletter, and no comments.

Advertising and independence

The site is free to read and is supported by advertising served by Google. Advertisers have no say in what the pages say, there is no sponsored content, and no page exists to sell anything. How the ads and the visit statistics handle your data is described in the privacy policy.

Corrections and contact

If a date, a time, or a fact on any page looks wrong, please say so; corrections are the most useful mail the site gets. The contact page has the address and what to include.
