Lunar calendar 2027: moon phases and eclipses
The lunar calendar 2027 lists every new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter of the year with the date and time in UTC, the zodiac sign the Moon is in at each new and full moon, and the solar and lunar eclipses of 2027.
How to read it: the Moon takes about 29.5 days to go from one new moon to the next. At the new moon it sits between the Earth and the Sun and cannot be seen. At the first quarter half of the disc is lit and growing; at the full moon the whole disc is lit and the Moon rises around sunset; at the last quarter half is lit again and shrinking. An eclipse happens when a new or full moon lines up with the Earth and the Sun.
In astrology the sign of the Moon at a new or full moon is traditionally read as the theme of that cycle: new moons as a moment to set intentions, full moons as a moment to review them. That is a symbolic tradition, offered for entertainment and self-reflection. The dates, times and eclipses are astronomy, calculated on this site, and agree with the published tables to the minute.
All times are in UTC. Add or subtract your own offset to get local time.
Eclipses of 2027: 5. Symbolically they are often read as moments to pause and reflect, a tradition for entertainment and self-reflection; the dates below are astronomy.
February 6, 15:59 UTC: Annular solar eclipse. The Moon is too far away to cover the Sun completely and leaves a bright ring; the ring is seen along a narrow path, with a partial eclipse around it.
February 20, 23:13 UTC: Penumbral lunar eclipse. The Moon crosses only the faint outer shadow of the Earth, so the dimming is subtle and easy to miss.
July 18, 16:03 UTC: Penumbral lunar eclipse. The Moon crosses only the faint outer shadow of the Earth, so the dimming is subtle and easy to miss.
August 2, 10:07 UTC: Total solar eclipse. The Moon fully covers the Sun along a narrow path across the Earth; places beside the path see a partial eclipse and the rest see none.
August 17, 07:14 UTC: Penumbral lunar eclipse. The Moon crosses only the faint outer shadow of the Earth, so the dimming is subtle and easy to miss.
