About the Solunar Theory

There is a lot of information available about the solunar theory online but here is some basic information about it. Wildlife activity has always been impacted by the movements of the moon and sun. For example, some days are much better for fishing and hunting. Sometimes this can be due to the weather conditions or season but very often the reason is the moon and sun phase.

The moon and sun gives us light, both during the day and night. Sometimes the light is more favourable for certain activities. Those times normally happen when the moon is closer, are in a particular phase and/or overlaps with the sun. We use those factors to create a unique solunar diagram that is adjusted to your timezone and geographical location.

The solunar diagram is not a "miracle cure" but it can help you a lot if used wisely. You should always consider other conditions such as the weather, barometric pressure, location, season etc. If you have feedback for us, please use our Contact form.
