The Moon Today
Today the Moon is in Pisces, in its Full Moon phase, at approximately 98% illumination — computed from astronomical ephemerides, the same calculation used for professional charts, not an estimate.

What Full Moon means astronomically: Earth sits between the Sun and the Moon; the entire near side is illuminated.
In astrological tradition, the Moon's sign colours the emotional weather of the day and the Moon sign in a birth chart describes instinctive needs — that part is symbolic tradition, and we label it as such. The positions above are astronomy.
