There are twelve full moons in 2027, and in UK time they fall on 22 January, 20 February, 22 March, 20 April, 20 May, 19 June, 18 July, 17 August, 16 September, 15 October, 14 November and 13 December. This full moon 2027 UK calendar gives each one with its exact clock time, zodiac sign and a reflective theme.

If a full moon falls on a date that matters to you, send us your question and I will suggest how to look at it in your own chart.

Two details catch people out. The September full moon is often listed as 15 September in American or UTC calendars, but in the UK it falls just after midnight on the 16th. And both the April and May full moons are in Scorpio, one at the very start of the sign and one at the very end.

Reading the year season by season

A full moon is the moment the Sun and Moon stand opposite each other, so it always highlights a tension between two signs. Astrologers read it as a time of culmination, visibility and release, the end of a cycle that began at the previous new moon.

Winter: January and February

The Leo full moon in January asks what you want to be recognised for; the Virgo full moon in February asks what can be simplified. Both suit honest reviews of the year's early plans.

Spring: March to May

The Libra full moon spotlights fairness in relationships. The two Scorpio full moons that follow bring questions of trust, intimacy and letting go, first gently, then more insistently in May.

Summer: June to August

Sagittarius in June widens the view towards travel and study. The eclipse full moons of July in Capricorn and August in Aquarius turn attention to responsibility, community and long-term hopes.

Autumn: September to December

The Pisces Harvest Moon invites rest and forgiveness, the Aries Hunter's Moon courage, the Taurus full moon security and comfort, and the Gemini Cold Moon conversation and curiosity as the year closes.

Three full moons that are also eclipses

All three lunar eclipses of 2027 are penumbral, the subtlest kind, when the Moon passes only through the Earth's faint outer shadow.

20 February: the one you can see

From the UK the Moon is up throughout the eclipse, which peaks around 23:12 GMT, shortly before the full moon itself. Look for a slight dusky shading on one side of the Moon rather than a dramatic red colour.

18 July and 17 August: below the horizon

Both happen while the Moon is below the UK horizon, so they cannot be seen here. Astrologically they still count, and astrologers commonly treat eclipse full moons as stronger turning points than ordinary ones. Our guide to the eclipses of 2027 covers all five, including the total solar eclipse of 2 August.

Why a Vedic calendar may name a different sign

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which in 2027 sits about 24 degrees behind the tropical one. As a result, the full moon of 22 January, in Leo in a Western calendar, falls in Cancer in a Vedic one. Hindu calendars also name each full moon after its lunar month, such as Guru Purnima or Sharad Purnima, and those observances follow the tithi, which can begin and end on a different calendar day from the astronomical moment. If you observe Purnima, it is worth checking a calendar set to UK time.

Using a full moon in your own planning

A full moon is a natural checkpoint. Many people use it to finish a project, have an overdue conversation or let go of something that has run its course. The site's monthly moon wishes follow the same lunar rhythm through the year. A simple full moon routine might look like this:

Look back to the new moon two weeks earlier and note what has grown since then.
Write down one thing you are ready to finish or release.
Choose one conversation you have been postponing and plan when to have it.
Leave some quiet time in the evening; full moons can feel busy and emotionally loud.

What a general calendar cannot show is which house of your birth chart each full moon activates, or whether one falls close to your Moon sign or ascendant. A General Reading is a thirty-minute online session that can look at your chart for the coming months and highlight the full moons most relevant to you, alongside the one personal or work question you bring.

Frequently asked questions

How many full moons are there in 2027?

Twelve, one in each calendar month, so there is no monthly blue moon. However, spring 2027 holds four full moons, so by the older seasonal definition the third of them, on 20 May, counts as a blue moon.

When is the Harvest Moon in 2027 in the UK?

At 00:03 BST on Thursday 16 September 2027, the full moon nearest the autumn equinox.

Can I see a lunar eclipse from the UK in 2027?

Yes, the subtle penumbral eclipse on the night of 20 February 2027. The July and August eclipses are not visible from the UK.
