Moon Phases April 2027

April 2027 has no eclipse and no supermoon, so the month's character comes from its signs: a new moon in Aries, a full moon at the very start of Scorpio, and a long void-of-course stretch on April 27. The Moon also moves from fire to water to air, which gives the weeks a distinct progression.

The month opens with the New Moon on April 6, 2027 at 16°57′ Aries (7:51 PM EDT). Aries favors fresh schemes and original ventures, and it suits quick starts more than work that needs long, steady effort. If you have an idea you have been circling, this is a moment to try a small, bold first step rather than plan it to death.

One week later, on April 13, the First Quarter Moon lands at 23°47′ Cancer (6:57 PM EDT). That is the first test of whatever Aries set going. Cancer is homey, sensitive and tenacious, so the pressure may come from close surroundings, family or simply how settled you feel. Notice whether the new start has a base to grow from. Just after the quarter, the Moon goes void of course at 6:56 PM EDT and stays that way until it enters Leo at 5:29 AM EDT on April 14, a short 10.6 hours.

The Full Moon on April 20 falls at 0°37′ Scorpio (6:27 PM EDT), barely into the sign. The Moon spent most of that day in Libra, a sign of partnership and affection, and crossed into Scorpio at 5:20 PM EDT, so the fullness arrives with a sudden shift from sociable to intense. Scorpio brings tenacity, secrecy and sharp judgment, along with any distrust or fault-finding that has built up. Matters reach a decision point. It is a fitting time to ask what you are holding onto stubbornly, and what you would be better off finishing or releasing.

The Last Quarter Moon arrives on April 28 at 8:19° Aquarius, specifically 8°19′ Aquarius (4:18 PM EDT). Aquarius turns attention to groups, causes and unconventional ideas, which makes it a good setting for reviewing which commitments and communities still suit you. It follows the month's longest void-of-course period: the Moon left Capricorn after a square to Saturn on April 27 at 3:18 AM EDT and did not enter Aquarius until 11:23 PM EDT, a stretch of 20.1 hours. Saturn is tied to limits, duty and patience, so that day leans toward finishing routine tasks and resting rather than launching anything.

Shorter void periods fill the rest of the month, including 3.4 hours in Virgo on April 18 and 6.8 hours in Leo on April 16. With 13 sign changes in April, the Moon rarely stays anywhere long, and the month ends with it back in Pisces on April 30 at 11:52 AM EDT.
