Moon Phases July 2027

July 2027 opens with a supermoon new moon in Cancer on July 3, 2027, and closes the first half with a penumbral lunar eclipse at the Capricorn full moon on July 18, 2027. Between them sit a Libra first quarter and a Taurus last quarter, plus a long void-of-course stretch on July 27.

The month starts close to home. The new moon arrives on July 3, 2027 at 11:02 PM EDT, at 11°57′ Cancer, and it is a supermoon: the Moon sits 358,793 km away, near the close end of its orbit. Tradition reads that as a louder lunation. In Cancer, the themes are home, family, nurturing and the past, and the advice is to start gently and let your feelings set the pace. Saving, collecting and researching old material fit this sign too.

By July 10, 2027 the Moon reaches first quarter at 18°18′ Libra (2:39 PM EDT), at 381,093 km. Libra leans toward partnership, courtesy and fair-mindedness, so any early snag in what you began under Cancer may be about other people: who you ask, who you listen to, and whether you are carrying something alone that works better shared. This is a quarter where decisions tend to ask for action.

The full moon on July 18, 2027 lands at 25°49′ Capricorn at 11:45 AM EDT, 405,968 km out, and it is a penumbral lunar eclipse, the faintest kind, a subtle shading of the Moon. Tradition treats an eclipse as a full moon with extra weight, so endings and turning points stand out. Capricorn brings questions of public standing, responsibility and reputation to a head. It can also show where a cool, calculating manner has outweighed care for other people's feelings. That contrasts with the soft, family-minded Cancer start two weeks earlier, and it is worth asking what has grown from that beginning and what it has cost.

The last quarter comes on July 26, 2027 at 3°30′ Taurus (12:55 PM EDT). Taurus is steady, persistent and conservative, with a taste for comfort and established ways. As a review point, it suits sorting what to keep and what to drop at an unhurried pace, since this Moon resists being rushed.

The longest void-of-course stretch of the month follows almost at once. It begins on July 27 at 5:28 PM EDT, in Taurus, with the Moon's last aspect a sextile to Mercury, and it lasts 18.7 hours until the Moon enters Gemini on July 28 at 12:09 PM EDT. Traditionally these hours suit finishing and resting more than launching plans or signing contracts, while routine tasks are fine. A shorter but still notable gap comes on July 23, when the Moon is void for 9.4 hours in Pisces before entering Aries at 9:09 PM EDT.
