Moon Phases 2027

2027 opens with a Leo supermoon on January 22 and closes with a Capricorn new moon on December 27. In between come five eclipses, seven supermoons and two new moons in August.

The year starts loudly. A Full Moon in Leo on January 22, 2027, sits at 357,635 km, and a Full Moon in Virgo follows on February 20 at 363,296 km. Leo asks how generously and steadily you have been giving, while Virgo asks you to look at your methods and release excessive self-criticism. Read together, they make early 2027 a stretch for sorting out where warmth ends and fault-finding begins.

The first eclipse season lands in February. An annular solar eclipse in Aquarius arrives with the New Moon on February 6, and a penumbral lunar eclipse in Virgo falls on the Full Moon of February 20. The solar one is a heavier start in research, reform or group work that aims to help many people. Tradition reads an eclipse as a theme that reaches over months rather than weeks, so a February beginning may be worth revisiting well into the year. The penumbral lunar eclipse is the faintest kind, a subtle shading rather than a dramatic ending.

Summer brings the second eclipse season and the longest supermoon run. New moons are the supermoons here: Gemini on June 4 at 364,247 km, Cancer on July 3 at 358,793 km, Leo on August 2 at 357,375 km, and Virgo on August 31 at 360,253 km. A Libra new moon on September 29 at 367,126 km closes the run. That is five new moons in a row that read as louder starts, moving from study and conversation to home and family, then to heart-led leadership, careful planning and finally partnership.

August is the standout month. The New Moon in Leo on August 2 is a total solar eclipse, and the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 17 is a penumbral lunar eclipse. A second New Moon, in Virgo, follows on August 31. Before them, the July 18 Full Moon in Capricorn is a penumbral lunar eclipse too, bringing questions of responsibility and reputation to a head. Leo and Aquarius sit opposite each other, so the eclipse pair sets personal expression against group purpose. You may notice that tension in how you balance your own voice with shared goals.

The full moons also change character through the year. Winter and early spring put them in Leo, Virgo and Libra, with themes of giving, method and relationships. April 20 and May 20 are both Full Moons in Scorpio, the second at 29°13′, so tenacity, secrecy and sharp judgment stay in play for a full month. Autumn moves them from Pisces to Aries and Taurus, and December 13 brings one in Gemini, where scattered projects and half-finished work ask to be sorted. Capricorn begins and ends the lunar year with new moons, which makes patient, practical planning a bookend for 2027.
