Full Moon Calendar 2027: All 12 Dates, Times and Signs
Quick Answer
There are 12 full moons in 2027. The first is on January 22 at 12:17 UTC at 2°14′ Leo, and the last is on December 13 at 16:09 UTC at 21°24′ Gemini. Three of them, in February, July and August, are penumbral lunar eclipses.
The twelve full moons of 2027 run from January 22 in Leo to December 13 in Gemini, with exact UTC times, degrees, traditional names and the three penumbral lunar eclipses.
A full moon is the monthly peak of the lunar cycle: the Sun and Moon sit in opposite signs, and whatever began around the previous new moon tends to become obvious. In 2027 there are 12 of them, one per calendar month.

All times are in UTC, calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris. Convert to your own time zone before planning around an exact moment, because a date late or early in the UTC day can fall on a neighbouring calendar date where you live. For example, the June full moon at 00:44 UTC on June 19 is still June 18 in the Americas.
The full moons that matter most
The three penumbral eclipses. The full moons of February 20, July 18 and August 17 are penumbral lunar eclipses. They are subtle to the eye, but astrologers treat them as stronger than an ordinary full moon. The 2027 eclipse calendar gives the full sequence.
The Scorpio pair. April and May both have a full moon in Scorpio, at the very first and very last degrees of the sign. Topics of trust, debt and intimacy can open in April and reach a conclusion a month later.
The Harvest Moon. The September 15 full moon in Pisces is the one closest to the September equinox, and it suits closing a chapter rather than starting one.
How to use a full moon
- Finish before you start. Full moons favour completing, publishing and deciding over launching something new. Use the new moons of 2027 for beginnings.
- Expect emotions to run higher for about two days. The effect is strongest around the exact time.
- Check the opposite sign. Each full moon pulls between two signs, so the Sun's sign is half of the story.
- Look for your own degree. A full moon within about 3° of your Sun, Moon or Ascendant is much more noticeable.

Key Takeaways
- 2027 has 12 full moons and no blue moon by calendar month.
- The February, July and August full moons are penumbral lunar eclipses.
- A May full moon at the last degrees of Scorpio is the most intense emotional date of the spring.
- The exact sign and degree only become personal when placed in your birth chart.
