Full Moon Calendar 2027: Dates, Times, Signs and Moon Names

Many of us feel the full moon before we look up and see it. Sleep gets lighter, feelings run closer to the surface, and things we've been holding in seem to want out. If you've ever asked yourself, "Why do I feel so stirred up this week?", checking the moon is a good place to start.

This calendar gives you every full moon for the rest of 2026 and all of 2027, with the time, the zodiac sign and the traditional name. Each name links to a page about what that moon is said to mean.

Full Moon Calendar 2027

Full moon times are the exact moment the Moon sits opposite the Sun. The Moon will look full the night before and the night after too, so any of those three nights is a good time to step outside and take it in.

Highlights of the 2027 Lunar Year

A close Wolf Moon to start the year. The January 22 full moon in Leo is the closest of 2027, so it may look a little bigger and brighter than usual. Some calendars call it a supermoon. Definitions of "supermoon" vary from one source to another, so we list the distance instead. Our supermoon guide explains why a close full moon can feel so strong.

Three gentle eclipses. The Snow Moon on February 20, the Buck Moon on July 18 and the Sturgeon Moon on August 17 all come with penumbral lunar eclipses, the softest kind. You can see every eclipse through 2030 on our eclipse dates page.

Two Scorpio full moons in a row. The Pink Moon on April 20 and the Flower Moon on May 20 both fall in Scorpio, one at the very start of the sign and one at the very end. Scorpio full moons tend to bring up deep feelings, trust and honesty, so spring 2027 may feel unusually emotional in relationships.

A seasonal Blue Moon in May. Spring 2027, from the March 20 equinox to the June 21 solstice, holds four full moons instead of the usual three. The third one, May 20, is called a seasonal Blue Moon. It's not the second full moon of a calendar month, which is the other common meaning of the term. May 2027 has only one full moon in Eastern time.

Where the Full Moon Names Come From

The names most people in the US and Canada use today, like Wolf Moon, Harvest Moon and Cold Moon, were made popular by The Old Farmer's Almanac. They draw on a mix of Native American, Colonial American and European sources. Many Native nations have their own names for each moon, tied to their own lands, seasons and ways of life, and those names often differ from the familiar list.

That's worth knowing, because the names we use are a blend, not one people's calendar. Our page on full moon names and their meanings goes into more detail, and our seasonal guides cover the winter, spring, summer and fall moons.

New Moon Calendar 2027

If the full moon is a time to release, the new moon is a time to begin. Many people use new moons to set intentions for the month ahead. Here's every new moon in 2027, in Eastern time.

How to Work With Each Full Moon

You don't need special tools. A few quiet minutes is enough. Here's a simple routine many people use:

• Notice how you feel. Before the full moon, jot down what's been on your mind. Patterns jump out when you look back over a few months.
• Name one thing to release. A worry, a habit or an old story about yourself. Write it down, then tear up the paper or simply close the notebook.
• Be gentle with your sleep. Many people sleep more lightly around the full moon. Dim the lights early and give yourself extra rest.
• Go slow with big talks. Feelings run high. If a conversation matters, start it calmly and give it time.

If the full moon tends to make you restless, our article on why you may feel anxious or restless during a full moon may help. And if it stirs up your love life, read how the full moon can affect relationships.

For men who like a system: Use the full moon as a monthly checkpoint. Look at what worked, what didn't and what you'll drop. It's a simple review habit that keeps goals honest and decisions clear.

Are there supermoons in 2027?

The closest full moon of 2027 is the Wolf Moon on January 22, about 222,230 miles from Earth, and many calendars call it a supermoon. Because sources define "supermoon" differently, lists vary. The December 23, 2026 Cold Moon is even closer, at about 221,667 miles.

Why are the full moon times in Eastern time?

A full moon happens at one exact moment for the whole world, but the clock time depends on where you live. We list Eastern time so the dates stay consistent for readers across the US and Canada. On the West Coast, subtract three hours. A full moon just after midnight Eastern can still fall on the previous date out West.
