2027 Moon Phase Calendar: New Moon and Full Moon Dates (UTC)
Updated November 14, 2026
In 2027 there are 13 new moons, 12 full moons, 12 first quarters and 12 last quarters. The first new moon is on Jan 7, 20:24 UTC and the first full moon on Jan 22, 12:17 UTC. The tables below give every one of them to the minute, in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), together with the traditional full moon names and the five eclipses of the year.
If you live in the Americas, Asia or Oceania, read the section on time zones first. The Moon's phase changes at one instant for the whole planet, but the calendar date of that instant depends on where you are.
2027 new moon and full moon dates by month
All times are UTC (24-hour clock). A "new moon" is the instant the Moon and Sun have the same ecliptic longitude, a "full moon" the instant they are 180° apart, and the quarters are at 90° and 270°.
| Month | New moon | First quarter | Full moon | Last quarter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | Jan 7, 20:24 | Jan 15, 20:35 | Jan 22, 12:17 | Jan 29, 10:55 |
| Feb | Feb 6, 15:56 | Feb 14, 07:58 | Feb 20, 23:24 | Feb 28, 05:17 |
| Mar | Mar 8, 09:29 | Mar 15, 16:25 | Mar 22, 10:44 | Mar 30, 00:54 |
| Apr | Apr 6, 23:51 | Apr 13, 22:57 | Apr 20, 22:27 | Apr 28, 20:18 |
| May | May 6, 10:59 | May 13, 04:44 | May 20, 10:59 | May 28, 13:58 |
| Jun | Jun 4, 19:40 | Jun 11, 10:56 | Jun 19, 00:44 | Jun 27, 04:54 |
| Jul | Jul 4, 03:02 | Jul 10, 18:39 | Jul 18, 15:45 | Jul 26, 16:55 |
| Aug | Aug 2, 10:05 / Aug 31, 17:41 | Aug 9, 04:54 | Aug 17, 07:29 | Aug 25, 02:27 |
| Sep | Sep 30, 02:36 | Sep 7, 18:31 | Sep 15, 23:04 | Sep 23, 10:20 |
| Oct | Oct 29, 13:37 | Oct 7, 11:47 | Oct 15, 13:47 | Oct 22, 17:29 |
| Nov | Nov 28, 03:24 | Nov 6, 08:00 | Nov 14, 03:26 | Nov 21, 00:48 |
| Dec | Dec 27, 20:12 | Dec 6, 05:22 | Dec 13, 16:09 | Dec 20, 09:11 |
August has two new moons (Aug 2 and Aug 31), so September's only new moon is on Sep 30. Every month has exactly one full moon, so 2027 has no "blue moon" in the calendar-month sense. The time from one new moon to the next ranges from 29.29 to 29.81 days this year, with an average of 29.54 days, which is why the dates in the table drift by a day or two from month to month.
Full moon names for 2027
The names below are the ones printed in many North American almanacs. They are folk names for the full moon of each calendar month, not an astronomical standard, and other traditions use different names. We give the month's name to the full moon that falls in that month in UTC.
| Full moon (UTC) | Name used for it |
|---|---|
| Fri, Jan 22, 12:17 | Wolf Moon |
| Sat, Feb 20, 23:24 | Snow Moon |
| Mon, Mar 22, 10:44 | Worm Moon |
| Tue, Apr 20, 22:27 | Pink Moon |
| Thu, May 20, 10:59 | Flower Moon |
| Sat, Jun 19, 00:44 | Strawberry Moon |
| Sun, Jul 18, 15:45 | Buck Moon |
| Tue, Aug 17, 07:29 | Sturgeon Moon |
| Wed, Sep 15, 23:04 | Harvest Moon |
| Fri, Oct 15, 13:47 | Hunter's Moon |
| Sun, Nov 14, 03:26 | Beaver Moon |
| Mon, Dec 13, 16:09 | Cold Moon |
The Harvest Moon is traditionally the full moon nearest the September equinox. In 2027 the equinox is on Sep 23 and the full moon of Sep 15 is the nearer one, so the month name and the tradition agree.
Eclipses in 2027
| Event | Greatest eclipse (UTC) |
|---|---|
| Annular solar eclipse | Sat, Feb 6, 16:00 |
| Penumbral lunar eclipse | Sat, Feb 20, 23:13 |
| Penumbral lunar eclipse | Sun, Jul 18, 16:03 |
| Total solar eclipse | Mon, Aug 2, 10:07 |
| Penumbral lunar eclipse | Tue, Aug 17, 07:14 |
The total solar eclipse of August 2 is the one most people will hear about: its path of totality runs from the Strait of Gibraltar across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula to Somalia, and a partial eclipse is visible over a much wider area. The February 6 annular eclipse has its path of annularity over southern South America and the Atlantic, with a partial eclipse seen from parts of Antarctica and West Africa. Penumbral lunar eclipses are faint; the Moon passes through the Earth's thin outer shadow and shows little change to the eye. Each eclipse happens within minutes of a new moon (solar) or a full moon (lunar) in the tables above.
Why the date can differ from another site: time zones
The phase instants above are in UTC. Where you live, the clock reads a different time, and for some instants that means a different calendar date.
- In UTC−8 (US Pacific standard time), 15 of the 49 phase instants fall on the day before the date shown in the tables. 3 of the 12 full moons are affected. The Strawberry Moon is on Sat, Jun 19, 00:44 UTC, which is the evening of June 18 on the US West Coast.
- In UTC+9 (Japan), 19 of the 49 instants fall on the next date, and 5 of the 12 full moons. The Snow Moon is on Sat, Feb 20, 23:24 UTC, which is the morning of Feb 21 in Tokyo.
Daylight saving time moves the local clock by one more hour, which can change the date for the few events that land close to midnight. To convert any entry, add or subtract your offset from UTC. If a site shows a full moon one day earlier or later than this page, it has probably used a different time zone, not a different calculation. The other common source of a one-day difference is the "full moon day" of a lunar calendar, which follows its own rules.
A vertical moon calendar for 2027, printed or on screen
If you would rather have the whole year on one page, we make a 2027 moon phase calendar (landscape) and a vertical moon calendar for 2027 in Letter and A4 sizes. Both show the Moon's shape for every day and list the quarter times in UTC, the full moon names and the eclipses from this page. They are PDF files, so you can print them or keep the digital copy on a tablet or computer. The numbers come from the same calculation as the tables here.
For the Moon on one particular date, such as a birthday, use the free night sky on the day you were born preview. If you follow the seasonal turning points as well as the Moon, see the Wheel of the Year 2027 dates, and for Japan's seasonal calendar see the 72 Japanese micro seasons for 2027.
Questions
Are these times local to me?
No. They are UTC. Add your offset from UTC to get your clock time, and check the date after converting.
Is a full moon only visible on one night?
The Moon looks full to the eye for about a day on either side of the exact instant. The tables give the exact instant of 180° separation.
Do the moon phases affect my life?
We don't make that claim. This page records where the Moon is, calculated from astronomy; it makes no predictions.
About this article
The phase times are the moments when the apparent ecliptic longitude of the Moon minus that of the Sun reaches 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. They are calculated with Swiss Ephemeris, a widely used library for computing the positions of the Sun and Moon, and rounded to the minute. We checked each entry against a separate calculation of the two longitudes, and against the Japanese version of this page, which lists the same instants in Japan time. Eclipse times are the instant of greatest eclipse from the same software. Full moon names follow the common North American almanac convention.
