The 2027 full moon calendar has twelve full moons, one each month, from the Wolf Moon on January 22 to the Cold Moon on December 13. Three are penumbral lunar eclipses, in February, July, and August, and two land back to back in Scorpio. Each moon carries a traditional name, a zodiac sign, and a natural theme for ritual.
What are the full moon dates in 2027?
Here are all twelve full moon dates in 2027, with each moon's traditional name, zodiac sign, and a short ritual theme. Dates use US Eastern time, and a moon that peaks near midnight can fall a calendar day later in Europe:
- January 22, Wolf Moon in Leo: a supermoon; shine, play, and lead with the heart.
- February 20 to 21, Snow Moon in Virgo: a penumbral lunar eclipse; declutter habits, worry, and the body.
- March 22, Worm Moon in Libra: rebalance a relationship and make peace where it is fair.
- April 20, Pink Moon in Scorpio: deep release; the first of two Scorpio full moons.
- May 20, Flower Moon in Scorpio: the rare second Scorpio moon; finish the transformation April began.
- June 18, Strawberry Moon in Sagittarius: a micromoon; gratitude, adventure, and honest optimism.
- July 18, Buck Moon in Capricorn: a slight penumbral eclipse and micromoon; release around career and structure.
- August 17, Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius: a penumbral eclipse; let go of what isolates you and reach for community.
- September 15, Harvest Moon in Pisces: gather your intuition, forgive, and rest.
- October 15, Hunter's Moon in Aries: courage, instinct, and a bold first step.
- November 13, Beaver Moon in Taurus: steady abundance and comfort (and a Saturday the 13th).
- December 13, Cold Moon in Gemini: speak your truth and say the thing before the year ends.
Why are there two Scorpio full moons in 2027?
There are two Scorpio full moons in 2027 because the full moon on April 20 and the one on May 20 both land in Scorpio, a rare back-to-back rather than the usual one-sign-per-month march. I call this the Two-Scorpio Window, and it is the standout feature of the years lunar calendar. When two full moons fall in the same sign, the second acts as a round two: what Aprils Pink Moon surfaces, Mays Flower Moon asks you to actually finish.
Treat the month between April 20 and May 20 as one long Scorpio release. Notice what comes up at the first moon, sit with it through May, and use the second moon to complete the letting go. Scorpio governs depth, intimacy, and transformation, so this is a powerful window for ending what has quietly outlived its time.
How do you use the full moon calendar for ritual?
You use the full moon calendar for ritual by matching each moon's sign to a simple act of release or gratitude, since the full moon is the peak of the lunar cycle and a natural time to complete and let go. Under an Aries moon, release anger or hesitation; under a Taurus moon, release scarcity and welcome comfort; under a Pisces moon, forgive and rest. A full moon ritual for manifestation walks through a full version step by step.
Keep it simple and consistent. Light a candle, write down what you are releasing, and speak what you are grateful for. If you like crystal support, a stone such as moonstone is traditionally linked to lunar work and intuition. And if you want the deeper mechanics of waxing and waning, the moon phases meanings guide explains the whole cycle.
One more distinction is worth keeping straight. Full moons, the twelve dates above, are for release, gratitude, and completion, while new moons two weeks apart are for planting fresh intentions. If a goal is about starting something, wait for the dark of the moon; if it is about finishing or letting go, the full moon is your night.
Which 2027 full moons are eclipses?
Three 2027 full moons are penumbral lunar eclipses: the Snow Moon on February 20 to 21 in Virgo, the Buck Moon on July 18 in Capricorn, and the Sturgeon Moon on August 17 in Aquarius. A penumbral eclipse is subtle to the eye, a faint shadow rather than a dramatic red moon, but astrologically it still amps the full moon into a release point with extra weight. On an eclipse moon, lean into letting go and ending, and hold off on brand-new manifestation, which suits ordinary full moons better.
When is the first full moon of 2027?
The first full moon of 2027 is the Wolf Moon on January 22, and it arrives as a supermoon in Leo. A supermoon looks slightly larger and brighter because the Moon is near its closest point to Earth. In Leo, it is a warm, expressive, confidence-building moon, a strong night to celebrate, create, and lead with your heart as the new year finds its feet.
What is a supermoon versus a micromoon in 2027?
A supermoon is a full moon near the Moon's closest approach to Earth, so it looks bigger and brighter, while a micromoon is a full moon near its farthest point, so it looks smaller. In 2027 the Wolf Moon of January 22 is a supermoon, and the Strawberry Moon of June 18 and the Buck Moon of July 18 are micromoons. The astrological meaning stays the same; the size is a visual bonus.
Is there a blue moon in 2027?
No, 2027 has no blue moon by the common monthly definition, since each calendar month holds exactly one full moon. A monthly blue moon needs a second full moon squeezed into a single month, and 2027's twelve moons spread out one per month. The nearest thing to a rarity is the Two-Scorpio Window in spring, when two consecutive moons share the same sign.
