[Practical Guide] Home Screen and Ephemeris

[1] Home screen is packed with useful information

Signature's Home screen has two areas: Today's Events and Calendar. From here, you can quickly check moon age and ingress timing (which planet enters which sign, and when).

Home screen overview

■ Today's Events

Today events panel
Moon age

The Moon cycles through New Moon → First Quarter → Full Moon → Last Quarter → New Moon. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days, and moon age helps you understand where you are in that cycle.

  • 0 → New Moon
  • Around 7 → First Quarter
  • Around 15 → Full Moon
  • Around 22 → Last Quarter

Moon age starts at 0 on New Moon, then increases by roughly 1 each day, and returns to 0 after about 29.5 days.


Ingress

Ingress means a planet enters the next sign. This section tells you what time and which planet enters which sign today. If no ingress occurs, it displays a message saying there is no planetary ingress.


■ Calendar

The date cells include planet/sign marks for ingress days, so you can instantly see which planet ingresses on which date.

[2] Check New/Full Moon timing in the ephemeris

The ephemeris is available inside Lab.

Opening the ephemeris shows a one-month planetary movement table. New/Full Moon timing is listed in the lower-left area.

New and Full Moons are important not only in astrology communities but for many people in general. As an astrologer, knowing the exact timing is essential. Signature helps you check those timings quickly and accurately.
