In astrology, the Moon is symbolically closely related to childbirth and motherhood, with family and home. The moon has a purely feminine nature, so women feel and understand its energy better.
The female cycle, as is known, coincides with the lunar month and, on average, lasts about 28-30 days. The moon's changeability provides energy for a variety of things, including issues related to the birth of a new life.

That is why it is so important to take into account lunar rhythms in matters such as conception, because conception may or may not occur on different days of the lunar month, and the Moon may also indicate problems which are possible in the future during pregnancy or related to the baby's health.
Many people mistakenly believe that conception is completely random: everything happens by chance when a woman's eggs are ready to be fertilized. This is usually about a week in a month, and even less for some women. However, if conception takes place on a favorable moon day, the chances of conceiving a healthy child are many times higher!

1. How the Moon affects women: analogies between the female and lunar cycles
Observations show that the Moon, the closest celestial object to us, has a very big impact on all living things. This was noticed back in ancient times, when people first began to keep lunar calendars and observe events and phenomena on the planet.
Conception and birth, as important components of our lives, are also related to lunar rhythms. The female body is so closely related to these rhythms that events such as the maturation of eggs and their release for fertilization occur cyclically according
to the lunar month. That is, women can conceive about once a lunar month — during ovulation.
In the opposite period – that is, 2 weeks after ovulation – the unfertilized egg dies, which means that menstruation begins. We will not describe the physiological details in particular, but it should be understood that the days of ovulation symbolically refer to the full moon (that is, the peak, the heyday, the full moon), and the days of menstruation symbolically refer to the full moon (that is, the peak, the heyday, the full moon), and the days of menstruation to new moon (the “death” of the Moon, its disappearance from the sky).

Thus, during a new moon, a cell dies so that… the next one is born. The same thing happens with the Moon — at the time of the new moon, it hides from the sky to give birth to a new Moon.
There is a version that the first women ovulated on the full moon, and menstruation occurred near the new moon. However, over time, the female cycle has shifted, and today every woman has her own, but the same duration — about 1 month (meaning a normal healthy cycle).
2. What do you need to know before you start planning a pregnancy on the Moon?
In general, a woman's cycle may vary in length over a woman's lifetime. However, knowing your cycle is incredibly important in order to control conception or vice versa, to calculate the best days for fertilization.
To make it easier for you to understand your cycle, you should keep a calendar where you can record the important days of the month:
1) Menstrual days (first to last)
2) Ovulation days
3) Moon phase and lunar day when ovulation occurs
4) Estimated cycle forecasts.
If you keep such a calendar, you can predict the best days when conception is possible. And if you also follow the recommendations from this article, which will be presented below, then the chances of conceiving (while conceiving a healthy child) will be much higher! You can also use the Ovulation Calculator for calculations.

3. Conception in different phases of the moon
Depending on which phases of the moon ovulation occurs, conception may occur during one of the following periods of the lunar month:
1. New moon (+/- several days: 29th lunar day — 2nd lunar day)
2. First quarter (3-7 lunar days)
3. Second quarter (8-13 lunar days)
4. Full moon (14-16 lunar days)
5. Third quarter (17-22 lunar days)
6. Fourth quarter (23-28 lunar days)
During life, the cycle in healthy women can shift. If you ovulated in the first quarter one month, then the next month there may be a shift in one direction or the other. This is considered normal if the cycle is not affected by any diseases.
Changes in the cycle are associated with many factors, including physical and internal changes in women's bodies, as well as some external factors, stress, etc.
If you are planning a pregnancy, you should monitor your cycle more seriously and take into account changes.
When ovulation occurs around the same period of the lunar month, you will not be able to change it. So, it is during this phase that your child will be conceived. Astrologers believe that the phase of the moon in which a person is conceived can “tell” about his future character and even the characteristics of his fate.
1. If conception occurred on a new moon:
During this period, from about the 29th lunar day to the 2nd lunar day, conception is not very successful: there is very little energy, the moon is not visible in the sky, so the unborn child will be weak and painful.
If ovulation occurs on these dates, most likely you should take your development and karma more seriously. According to one version, if you go the right way, ovulation will shift to a more successful period for conception. However, if conception does occur, just be more attentive to what is happening to you, live consciously, and give the necessary protection and attention to the future child who will be in them need more than babies conceived on other days.
2. If conception occurred in the first quarter:
From 3 to 7 lunar days, children are conceived, who will be very bright and clean. Symbolically, this is the very beginning, so children of this period are very naive, do not fully understand life and often remain children until old age. Usually these people are very kind and helpful and are not capable of meanness.
3. If conception occurred in the second quarter:
If a child is conceived from the 8th to the 13th lunar day, this will have the best effect on his character. This phase of the moon is best suited for conception, as these are the children who are born the healthiest and strongest. Such a person is quite harmonious, strong, emotionally stable in the face of life's troubles.
4. If conception occurred on a full moon:
The full moon period is from the 14th to the 16th lunar day. These days cannot be called the best period, because children conceived during this period are rather unbalanced, very active, and it is difficult for them to control their emotions and impulses.
These are the qualities associated with the full moon, a time of rampant passions, when many become anxious and nervous. When compiling a conception calendar, astrologers usually do not recommend choosing a day near the full moon, as this is a day of risk.

5. If conception occurred in the third quarter:
During this period (approximately from 17 to 22 lunar days), children who are of a complex nature can be conceived. They have a rich inner world, have enough past experience, but they risk going down the wrong path and using their talents in the wrong direction. Such a child should be guided and never let go.
6. If conception occurred in the fourth quarter:
This period is not particularly good for conception (23-28 lunar days), as the Moon is already losing enough of its strength and approaching the end of its cycle. Children conceived these days may have various psychological problems, as well as emotional problems that will interfere with life. Such people often close themselves in their own world, it is difficult for them to trust others, they hide their emotions.
4. Dr. Jonas's conception planning method
This method of conceiving a child according to the lunar calendar is not new: it is more than 60 years old. The method was developed by Evgeny Jonas, a doctor from Slovakia, who researched fertility issues. He found that in some cases a woman can conceive a child not only during ovulation, but also on other days of the month, when ovulation does not seem to occur.
These days can be determined by having knowledge in astrology and by studying the lunar calendar in more detail. An interesting fact is that the method has a very high success rate.
It has been tried on a very large number of the doctor's patients.
The basis of this method is to determine the most successful days for conception according to the personal and lunar calendars at the same time. In particular, the lunar day that a woman was born is closely related to the days of her ability to conceive.
That is: if you are born on the 15th lunar day, on the full moon, then on full moon days, you are always more likely to conceive (+/- several days), even when it seems that there is no ovulation! Since there is no accurate information about how many days should be added or subtracted from a lunar birthday, it is worth using the phase of the moon.
For example, if you were born on the 19th lunar day, you are much more likely to conceive a child under the Moon in the third quarter than on others.
When drawing up a conception calendar, you should also take into account successful and unsuccessful periods, analyzing the signs of the Moon and its aspects during the month.

5. The best moon signs to conceive
The moon, moving along the Zodiac, passes through all the signs in a month, lingering for about 2.5 days in each. If your ovulation occurs on the following fertile signs, then your chances of conceiving are much higher than at other times of the month:
CANCER is one of the most prolific signs of the zodiac, ruled by the Moon itself. It is not for nothing that Cancer in astrology is also responsible for family, family, home, and motherhood. When the Moon follows the sign of Cancer, it is incredibly strong, so the things that are associated with it are best.
TAURUS is the second very prolific sign of the zodiac, in which the Moon is in exaltation, that is, it also has very strong properties. Taurus is responsible for land, fertility and yield, which is why it is under the Moon that conceptions often occur in this sign.
PISCES is a prolific water sign in which the Moon has medium strength, but due to the fact that it is in the water element, it gives a lot of chances of conception. The second ruler of Pisces is the planet Jupiter, which is considered a benefactor planet in astrology, a planet of good luck and expansion. This is why Pisces is one of the most prolific signs of the zodiac.
SCORPIO — Although the Moon is falling in this sign, it can be called quite prolific due to the water element. The element of water is very plastic and has feminine qualities, so the Moon in this zodiac sign promotes conception.
LIBRA — although this zodiac sign belongs to the masculine energy of the air element, it is largely regarded as prolific, since balance, beauty, and correctness are associated with Libra. Venus, as the ruler of Libra, is a prolific planet, and Air is a warm element, which also gives a plus to fertility. Since this sign is cardinal, under the Moon in Libra (as well as under the Moon in Aries), conception processes occur quickly.
6. Less successful moon signs for conception
So, we found out that the element of Water is very prolific, so the Moon, falling into one of the water signs of the Zodiac, increases the chances of conception many times over. Among the less successful, rather neutral signs, are the following:
TWINS. The Gemini sign is masculine, the air element and is ruled by Mercury, a sexless neutral planet. It gives neither pros nor cons in favor of fertility, so Gemini is a neutral sign.
SAGITTARIUS — This zodiac sign belongs to the less prolific fire element, but just like Pisces, it is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck. Taking into account these two factors, we consider the Sagittarius sign to be neutral signs of the moon for conception.
Fruitless signs
The following zodiac signs are infertile. They should not be chosen when scheduling conception, and if important days fall on them, the chances of conception are reduced. It is worth noting that these zodiac signs, although infertile, cannot completely prohibit conception, because a personal horoscope also intervenes.
It's just that if you can choose, you should still avoid them. If the card's personal indicators still indicate that conception should occur during the passage of the Moon through these signs, it's worth trying.
ARIES – the fire element is considered not very successful for conception, and Aries is a lone sign, so it slows down conception. If conception under Aries coincides with the woman's personal horoscope, then the processes proceed quickly, so conception can occur instantly.
LEO is another fire sign ruled by the Sun. And although in horoscopes, the Sun and the house under its control 5th are responsible for children, in reality, the sign of Leo is less suitable for conception than the signs of the Water Element. Leo is as independent and lonely as Aries, so fertility is not typical for him. When the Moon hits the sign of Leo, its ability to conceive decreases.
VIRGO is one of the least prolific zodiac signs. Although it belongs to the Earth element, Virgo is a cold sign, and the Moon, when it enters it, is weak when it comes to conception.
AQUARIUS. Aquarius is considered to be less fertile, but also not the most sterile sign of the zodiac. However, the Moon in Aquarius does not have any advantages, so this sign is still advised to be avoided when planning a pregnancy.
CAPRICORN — although this zodiac sign also belongs to the Earth's feminine element, the Moon is very weak in it — finds himself in exile. Capricorn is considered a bad sign for conception (especially if there are no clear instructions in your personal horoscope).

7. Dangerous and unsuccessful periods of the lunar month for conception
During the lunar month, there are several periods when the Moon is weak, which means that conception can occur with minimal or no probability. These are the periods:
1) Moon periods without a course (idle Moon).
Moon periods without a course are listed in any lunar calendar and can last from a few minutes to a whole day. These periods are related to aspects of the Moon and are easy to identify. The idle Moon period begins when the Moon makes its last aspect within the same zodiac sign as the planets, and ends when it enters the next sign. Conception with such a moon, which is also called “ineffective”, is unlikely.
2) The moon passes through the sterile signs of the Zodiac (listed above).
Dangerous days for conception
occur when the Moon passes through painful points. Conception, which took place under these factors of the lunar or solar cycle, may not be successful. It is very likely that there may be complications during pregnancy, or there may be health problems with the unborn child or a very difficult birth.
1) Eclipse days (lunar and solar). They come 4 to 7 times a year.
Months in which eclipses occur on the full moon and new moon should not be chosen for conception — this is a time of activating negative energy and not the time to create and create. Children conceived during eclipses are at high risk of being born with a difficult character and a difficult fate.
2) The moon in negative aspects with pests: Mars and Saturn.
These planets have complex energy sources, bringing problems, difficulties, delays and conflict situations. The days when the Moon is in these aspects are not suitable for important things and undertakings!
3) The Moon in negative aspects with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
These are less painful aspects than the previous ones and are less likely to indicate problems. However, some astrologers also take them into account when compiling individual conception calendars and lunar general calendars.
4) The Sun is in opposition to all the higher planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (it happens at least once a year with each of the planets).
Since the Sun is responsible for vitality, when it comes to conception, it is worth making sure that it is not damaged. In this case, “damage” occurs when the Sun is exactly opposite these planets.
An astrologer helps to calculate exactly when the Moon and Sun do these aspects, or if you know how to use any astrological program and have some knowledge of astrology, you can see dangerous periods for yourself.
Favorable days for conception
8. Planning a baby's sex on the moon
It turns out that the sex of a child can also be determined at the time of conception by looking at the lunar calendar. This method of determining, like any other, does not provide 100% guarantees, but still significantly increases the chances of conceiving a child of the desired sex.
Remember that even if you have a desire to have a child of a certain gender, you should not be obsessed with it and must accept the possibility that your plans may not come true, with with a calm heart. A child of any gender should be wanted and loved.

If you do decide to plan the sex of your child, look at the moon sign on the day of conception: on days when the Moon follows women's signs, you are much more likely to conceive a girl, and vice versa: on days when the Moon follows women's signs is in a masculine sign, you are more likely to conceive a boy.

It is very simple to remember which zodiac sign is male and which is female: the zodiac signs of the Fire and Air elements are masculine, active; and vice versa, the element of Earth and Water is passive, which means that they are female signs.
When scheduling conceptions, watch when the Moon changes its sign. This happens every 2.5 days, so if the Moon walks along the first half of the sign — for example, on the first day — then the chances of conceiving a child of the desired sex are greater than when the Moon passes into the second part of the sign. This is because fertilization often does not take place too quickly: it may take several days. During this time, the Moon will have time to go to the next sign.
Statistics show that only when the Moon passes through the signs of Aries and Libra, the chances of conceiving a boy remain, even when the Moon comes to the end of the sign.
9. Algorithm for choosing a good day to conceive according to the lunar calendar
So, let's summarize how to plan a conception on the moon. Remember that the lunar calendar provides only one slice of possibilities. It is much more important to first look at the personal data of both partners, analyze the prognosis and choose the best time to conceive based on personal horoscopes.
The second thing you should pay attention to is the position of the Moon and Sun in the sky. Remember that conception can occur at a good time on the moon, even if you don't ovulate on your schedule these days!
1) Select in the calendar the days when the Moon follows the most prolific zodiac signs: Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces, but also take into account other days if they ovulate.
2) Exclude those periods when the Moon is without a course.
3) Exclude those periods when the Moon is damaged by pests: Mars and Saturn in the first place.
4) Exclude new and full moon days (especially if eclipses occur these days!)
5) Exclude days when the Sun opposes all the higher planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (+/- 3 days).
