Moon Phases February 2027

The month opens with the new moon on February 6, 2027 at 17°37′ Aquarius, and it coincides with an annular solar eclipse. Tradition reads an eclipse as a lunation with more weight and a longer reach, so Aquarius themes may stay in view for months rather than weeks. That suits work that needs steady, focused thought: research, a design, a reform, or joining a group that aims to benefit many people. Treat it as a stronger start, not a fixed outcome.

Right after that comes the longest void-of-course stretch of the month. It begins February 7 at 10:52 PM EST, when the Moon in Pisces makes its last aspect, a conjunction with Mercury, and it lasts 46.9 hours, until the Moon enters Aries on February 9 at 9:48 PM EST. Void periods are traditionally for finishing, resting and reflecting rather than launching things, and routine tasks are fine. Pisces leads with feeling over logic, so this is a natural window to let ideas settle before you commit to them.

The first quarter arrives on February 14 at 25°23′ Taurus. Taurus is persistent, unimpulsive and hard to thwart, which makes it a steady setting for the first real test of whatever you began at the new moon. Expect the pull to lean toward what is established and dependable. It also carries a sociable, sensuous streak, so comfort, music and good company fit the day as well as stubborn follow-through.

On February 20 the full moon lands at 2°05′ Virgo, at 363,295 km, which makes it a supermoon, and a penumbral lunar eclipse falls on the same day. Penumbral is the faintest kind, a subtle shading of the Moon, yet the eclipse still flags endings and turning points. Virgo brings the results of your methods, your work and your attention to detail to a head. It also asks you to let go of excessive self-criticism and fault-finding. With the Moon closer than usual, these themes may feel louder.

The last quarter closes the month on February 28 at 9:23′ into Sagittarius, precisely 9°22′ Sagittarius. After Virgo's scrutiny, Sagittarius loosens things up with a restless, good-humored, sincere temperament that likes travel and a change of scene. It is a good time to review what you gathered this month, sort what still matters, and look for a wider view before the next new moon.
