The Moon completes its cycle with the Sun roughly every 29.5 days, and 2027 fits 13 New Moons and 12 Full Moons into the calendar.

Working With the Lunar Cycle
A New Moon happens when the Sun and Moon meet in the same sign; the sky is dark and the cycle restarts. Many people use this moment to name an intention, open a fresh notebook page or take the first small step on a plan. About two weeks later the Full Moon places the two lights in opposite signs, and what was seeded tends to come into view: results, feedback, feelings that need airing. It is a natural point to complete, celebrate or release. The sign of each lunation colors its theme, so a Taurus New Moon suits money and comfort, while a Libra Full Moon spotlights agreements. Your house for that sign shows where it lands personally.
The Shape of the 2027 Lunar Year
Thirteen New Moons and twelve Full Moons fill 2027. Capricorn hosts two New Moons, one in early January and one just after Christmas, so the year opens and closes on the same practical note. Scorpio receives two Full Moons back to back, on 20 April and 20 May, while Cancer gets none. August is the busiest month: a New Moon that is also the total solar eclipse in Leo, a Full Moon that doubles as a penumbral lunar eclipse in Aquarius, and a second New Moon in Virgo on 31 August, the one sometimes called a black moon. Five lunations in all coincide with eclipses, in February, July and August, and they deserve more breathing room than an ordinary Moon.
Frequently asked questions
How many New Moons and Full Moons are there in 2027?
Counted in UTC, 2027 has 13 New Moons and 12 Full Moons. The extra New Moon comes from August, which holds two: one on 2 August in Leo, which is also a total solar eclipse, and one on 31 August in Virgo. Every other month has exactly one of each, so the year keeps a steady monthly beat.
What is the black moon of August 2027?
The name is sometimes given to the second New Moon in a single calendar month. In 2027, using UTC, that is the New Moon of 31 August in Virgo. It is not an official astronomical term, and in time zones far enough ahead of UTC that lunation already falls on 1 September, so the label depends on where you live.
Which 2027 New Moons and Full Moons are also eclipses?
Five of them. The New Moon of 6 February in Aquarius is an annular solar eclipse and the Full Moon of 20 February in Virgo is penumbral. In summer the Full Moons of 18 July in Capricorn and 17 August in Aquarius dim the Moon slightly, and the New Moon of 2 August in Leo brings a total solar eclipse.
Why might a lunation date differ by a day where I live?
The table gives each moment in UTC. If you live well east or west of Greenwich, the local date can be a day earlier or later, especially for lunations close to midnight UTC, such as the Full Moon of 19 June at 00:45, which is still 18 June across the Americas. Convert the time to your zone before planning.
