How to read the table
The times are UTC. Readers east of Greenwich may see the next calendar day for a late phase: the full moon of 20 February falls at 23:23 UTC, which is already 21 February in Turkey and most of Europe.
2027 has 12 full moons and 13 new moons. August holds two new moons, on 2 and 31 August, and the second of such a pair is popularly called a black moon. The two Scorpio full moons, 20 April at 0°36′ and 20 May at 29°13′, land in the same sign at its first and last degree. The Scorpio area of your chart gets two reviews in a row.
The sign tells you which area of your chart the lunation touches: a new moon at 17° Capricorn falls in whichever house holds that degree for you. You can see this against your own placements in the transits view.
The eclipses of 2027
Five of the 25 lunations are eclipses: the annular solar eclipse of 6 February, the penumbral lunar eclipses of 20 February, 18 July and 17 August, and the total solar eclipse of 2 August, which crosses southern Spain, North Africa and Egypt with more than six minutes of totality. An eclipse is a new or full moon close to the lunar nodes: the same logic as any lunation, only louder. Every date and path is in the eclipse calendar 2027, and the full reading is in Eclipses 2027.

Working with the phases
- The new moon is the low-light point of the cycle. It suits beginnings and quiet intentions, and the sign shows the theme.
- The full moon is the point of maximum visibility. It suits review, results and finishing what the previous new moon started.
- Note which houses the 2027 lunations fall in for you. The ones within about 3° of a natal planet are the ones you will notice.
- For a routine across a single month, see planning your month with the Moon.
None of this predicts events. It describes a rhythm of starting and completing, with dates you can check against the sky.
