Will the widget slow my site down?

Barely: it is a simple iframe, with no script to load and no cookie to set, and it loads lazily (loading="lazy"). The frame appears when the visitor reaches it, without weighing on the rest of your page.

Do I need an account to use it?

No. The widget is public and free, with no account and no sign-up. You copy the block, you paste it, and it is in place. Your visitors have nothing to do either.

Do the values update on their own?

Yes. The widget is recalculated every night from the ephemeris: the phase, the sign and the next full moon stay accurate without you touching anything in your page.

Help · the app

How do you add the moon widget to your site? two copy-pastes, and the sky settles in.

The moon widget is a small frame you paste onto your site: it shows today’s moon, its phase down to the percent, the sign she is crossing and the date of the next full moon. You copy an iframe block into your page, pick your style, and it is in place. Free, no script to load, no cookies, no account. The data is recalculated every night from the ephemeris, like the rest of the almanac.

The essentials

What it shows: today’s phase, percentage, sign, next full moon
Install: one iframe block to copy and paste, zero script
Styles: light or dark, small or medium size (four in all)
Updates: recalculated every night from the ephemeris
Cost: free, no cookies and no account

How to install it

Head to the widgets page, copy the iframe block on offer, and paste it wherever you like in your page: an article, a sidebar, the footer of your site. There is nothing else to do. The widget loads on its own, with no script to add elsewhere and no dependency to install.

Then you pick your style: four versions, light or dark, small or medium size. To switch, you swap the style name in the iframe address (for example light-m for dark-s) and use the width and height shown under the matching preview. The page shows you each style for real, with today’s values, before you even copy anything.

Where the numbers come from

Nothing is keyed in by hand. The phase, the sign and the times come out of an astronomical ephemeris, the same one that feeds the full-moon calendar and the whole almanac. The times are given in Paris time, down to the minute, and the whole thing is regenerated every night: what your visitors see on a Tuesday was recalculated for that Tuesday.

Would you rather build your own display? The same data lives in static JSON, freely accessible: today’s phase, the next full moon, the next new moon and the ten lunations to come. Enough to feed your own design without giving up the precision of the calculation.

The credit link, up to you

If you want to credit the source, the page offers you a small link to place below the frame. It stays outside the widget, as a nofollow link, just as Google’s guidance on widget links recommends. It is a kind gesture, never an obligation.

And it is yours: you can edit that link, style it your own way or remove it entirely, and the widget will work exactly the same. No trick, no hidden link slipping in without your knowing: what you paste is what you see.
