Every Full Moon in 2026 and 2027 happens at a specific minute, in a specific degree of a specific zodiac sign. Those three facts are identical for everyone alive. What is not identical is where that degree falls in your birth chart — and that is what decides whether a given Full Moon touches your career, your relationship, your money, or your sleep.
Below is the complete calendar: 50 lunations across two years, 25 Full Moons and 25 New Moons, with all nine eclipses marked. The dates and degrees are computed directly, not copied, so you can use them as reference. After the tables there is a short guide to what a Full Moon in each sign tends to bring, and an explanation of the one variable the calendar cannot give you.
Key Takeaways
- There are 25 Full Moons and 25 New Moons across 2026 and 2027 — thirteen Full Moons in 2026, twelve in 2027.
- Nine eclipses fall in this window: four in 2026, five in 2027. An eclipse is simply a lunation close enough to the Moon’s nodes to line up, and it tends to act like a lunation with the volume turned up.
- All times below are Universal Time (UT). Convert to your own zone before trusting the date — a lunation late in the UT day can land on tomorrow where you live.
- The degree matters more than the date. It is the degree that connects a lunation to the planets and houses in your own chart.
- The calendar is universal; the house is personal. Cosmic Navigator’s Moon page traces each of these lunations to the house it falls in on your chart.
How to Read This Calendar
Each row gives you four things: the date, the exact time of the phase, the zodiac sign and degree the Moon occupies at that moment, and whether the lunation is also an eclipse.
The degree is the column most calendars leave out, and it is the one that does the real work. A Full Moon at 2° of a sign and a Full Moon at 28° of the same sign are thirty days apart in your life, not one. Degrees are what let you check whether a lunation lands on one of your own planets: if you have Venus at 12° Libra, the Full Moon of April 2, 2026 at Libra 12°21′ sits almost exactly on it.
A note on the phase itself: a Full Moon is the moment the Moon reaches exactly 180° from the Sun, and a New Moon the moment it reaches 0°. These are instants, not days. The Moon is “full” for one minute, then begins to wane — which is why the exact time is worth having, and why the effect is usually felt across the two or three days bracketing it rather than only on the date itself.
Full Moon Calendar 2026
Thirteen Full Moons fall in 2026 — the extra one arrives because the 29.5-day lunar cycle does not divide evenly into a 365-day year. Two of them are lunar eclipses.

Every Eclipse in 2026 and 2027
An eclipse is not a separate kind of event. It is an ordinary New or Full Moon that happens to occur close to the lunar nodes — the two points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the plane of the Earth’s orbit. When a New Moon lands near a node, the Moon passes directly across the Sun and you get a solar eclipse. When a Full Moon lands near a node, the Earth’s shadow reaches the Moon and you get a lunar eclipse.
| Date | Greatest eclipse (UT) | Type | Sign & degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| February 17, 2026 | 12:12 | Annular Solar Eclipse | Aquarius 28°49' |
| March 3, 2026 | 11:34 | Total Lunar Eclipse | Virgo 12°54' |
| August 12, 2026 | 17:46 | Total Solar Eclipse | Leo 20°01' |
| August 28, 2026 | 04:13 | Partial Lunar Eclipse | Pisces 4°54' |
| February 6, 2027 | 16:00 | Annular Solar Eclipse | Aquarius 17°37' |
| February 20, 2027 | 23:13 | Penumbral Lunar Eclipse | Virgo 2°05' |
| July 18, 2027 | 16:03 | Penumbral Lunar Eclipse | Capricorn 25°48' |
| August 2, 2027 | 10:07 | Total Solar Eclipse | Leo 9°55' |
| August 17, 2027 | 07:14 | Penumbral Lunar Eclipse | Aquarius 24°11' |
Eclipse types and greatest-eclipse times from NASA’s eclipse catalogue. Phase times in the tables above are the exact syzygy — the moment of alignment — which falls a few minutes from greatest eclipse.
Astrologically, eclipses are usually read as lunations with a longer reach: what an ordinary Full Moon resolves in a few days, an eclipse tends to set in motion over months. The useful, unmystical version of that idea is simply this — note the degree, and see whether it sits on anything in your own chart. An eclipse at a degree where you have nothing is, for you, a news story. An eclipse sitting on your Sun, Moon or Ascendant is not.
The Date Is Universal. The House Is Yours.
This is the part a calendar cannot do for you, and it is the part that actually decides what a Full Moon feels like.
Take one row from the table above: the Full Moon of August 28, 2026, at Pisces 4°54′. That degree is the same for every person on Earth. But a birth chart divides the sky into twelve houses, anchored to the horizon at your exact birth time and place — so the same degree lands in a different house for different people:
- Born 2 December 1987 in northern Thailand — it falls in the 5th house, and lights the 5th–11th axis. Creative work becomes showable; the wider circle has opinions about it.
- Born 15 June 1990 in Bangkok — it falls in the 7th house, lighting the 7th–1st axis. Same night, but the subject is a relationship reaching its turning point.
- Born 9 September 1995 in New York — it falls in the 6th house, lighting the 6th–12th axis. Same night again, and now it is work, health and routine sending the bill.
One Full Moon, three unrelated stories. This is why generic Full Moon horoscopes feel vague: they are describing the sign, which everyone shares, rather than the house, which nobody shares. The sign tells you the flavour. The house tells you the subject.
The second personal variable is contact. In the first chart above, that same August 2026 Full Moon sits within a sixth of a degree of the person’s natal Mars and a twentieth of a degree of their natal Venus. In the second chart it squares natal Mercury almost exactly. In a chart with nothing near Pisces 4°, it passes quietly. Two people can share a house placement and still have completely different weeks, depending on what the lunation touches on the way through.

What a Full Moon in Each Sign Brings
The sign is the shared layer — the tone everyone gets. Here is what each one tends to do, with the 2026–2027 dates that fall in it.
Aries
A Full Moon in Aries brings a decision to the boil. Whatever you have been polite about stops being tolerable, and the honest move is usually the fast one.
A New Moon in Aries is the cleanest start in the zodiac — begin before you feel ready.
In 2026–27: April 17, 2026 — New Moon; September 26, 2026 — Full Moon; April 6, 2027 — New Moon; October 15, 2027 — Full Moon
Taurus

Cancer
A Full Moon in Cancer — the Moon at home in its own sign — brings feeling to the surface without much warning. Family, home and old memory get loud.
A New Moon in Cancer begins something domestic and inward: a move, a mending, a door reopened.
In 2026–27: January 3, 2026 — Full Moon; July 14, 2026 — New Moon; December 24, 2026 — Full Moon; July 4, 2027 — New Moon

Virgo
A Full Moon in Virgo sends the bill for how you have been living. Work, health and the small broken systems all present themselves at once.
A New Moon in Virgo sets a routine that has a real chance of holding, because it is unglamorous enough to survive.
In 2026–27: March 3, 2026 — Full Moon; September 11, 2026 — New Moon; February 20, 2027 — Full Moon; August 31, 2027 — New Moon
Libra

Scorpio
A Full Moon in Scorpio surfaces what was buried. Shared money, intimacy and the thing nobody names come up whole, and usually all at once.
A New Moon in Scorpio begins something that will change you rather than simply add to you.
In 2026–27: May 1, 2026 — Full Moon; November 9, 2026 — New Moon; April 20, 2027 — Full Moon; May 20, 2027 — Full Moon; October 29, 2027 — New Moon
Sagittarius
A Full Moon in Sagittarius resolves a belief. A conviction either arrives fully formed or quietly falls apart, and both count as progress.
A New Moon in Sagittarius commits you to something larger than your current life — book it, apply, enrol.

Capricorn
A Full Moon in Capricorn makes the work visible to people who can respond to it. Ambition pays out, and names its price.
A New Moon in Capricorn stakes a claim quietly, before anyone is watching.
In 2026–27: January 18, 2026 — New Moon; June 29, 2026 — Full Moon; January 7, 2027 — New Moon; July 18, 2027 — Full Moon; December 27, 2027 — New Moon
Aquarius
A Full Moon in Aquarius clarifies where you belong and where you plainly do not. Friendships and groups reorganise themselves around you.

Pisces
A Full Moon in Pisces completes something without announcement. You may register it only as tiredness, or as a dream that will not leave you alone.
A New Moon in Pisces starts in the quiet — a practice, a forgiveness, a weight you stop carrying.
In 2026–27: March 19, 2026 — New Moon; August 28, 2026 — Full Moon; March 8, 2027 — New Moon; September 15, 2027 — Full Moon
Time Zones: Why Your Date May Differ
Every time in this calendar is Universal Time. If you are east of Greenwich you add hours; west, you subtract. That arithmetic occasionally moves the lunation across midnight and onto the neighbouring date, which is why two reputable sources can list a Full Moon on different days and both be right.
Two examples from the tables. The Full Moon of May 1, 2026 at 17:23 UT is still May 1 in London and New York, but May 2 in Bangkok and Tokyo. The New Moon of August 12, 2026 at 17:36 UT — the total solar eclipse — is August 12 across Europe and the Americas, and August 13 in most of Asia. Nothing about the sky changed; only the calendar did.
If you would rather not do the conversion, the Moon page renders every lunation in your own device’s time zone automatically.
Where to Go From Here
Step 1: Find the next date in the tables above and note the degree.
Step 2: Open the Moon page and enter your birth details to see which house that degree occupies in your chart, and what it contacts.
Step 3: If the house numbers are new to you, the guide to the twelve houses explains what each one governs, and the House Chart shows yours drawn out.
Step 4: For the Moon as a place rather than a moment, see the Moon line in astrocartography — where on Earth the Moon was angular when you were born.
