My Moon Calendar shows the exact times when the Moon is Void of Course (VoC) — powerful moments for reflection, rest, or inner work .
Since the calendar is set to Central European Time (CET/CEST), you’ll need to adjust the times if you live in another part of the world .
Keep in mind that during summer months, Daylight Saving Time (DST) also applies.

What Time Zone is the Calendar In?
Winter months = CET (UTC +1)
Summer months = CEST (UTC +2, Daylight Saving Time)
This means all the VoC start and end times in my calendar follow Amsterdam/Paris/Berlin time .
Why This Matters
The Moon’s movements are the same everywhere — but the clock time you see depends on where you are on Earth.
For example:
If my calendar says the Moon is Void of Course at 15:00 CET, in New York it will be 09:00 EST.
If it’s 22:00 CET, in Sydney it will already be 07:00 the next day (AEST).
Examples of CET Compared to Other Regions
Here are some common differences (without DST changes applied):
New York (EST) → 6 hours behind CET
Los Angeles (PST) → 9 hours behind CET
London (GMT) → 1 hour behind CET
Sydney (AEST) → 9 hours ahead of CET
New Delhi (IST) → 4.5 hours ahead of CET
Please always double-check, as Daylight Saving rules vary by country.
Easy Way to Convert Times
To make sure you use the calendar correctly, I recommend this tool:
Enter Amsterdam (my reference city)
Enter your city
Compare to see the exact time difference
Final Tip
Always check whether it’s winter (CET) or summer (CEST) when using the calendar .This way, you can trust that you’re tuning into the right VoC moment wherever you are in the world .
With this little adjustment, the Void of Course Moon calendar becomes a
practical tool for self-alignment — worldwide.
Warmly,
