Here is every new moon and full moon of 2027, with the time it is exact (in UTC, so add your own time zone), the zodiac sign it falls in, and which ones are eclipses. The dates come from standard astronomical formulas, the same ones an almanac uses, not from a horoscope column.

Eclipses in 2027
An eclipse is a new or full moon that happens close to the Moon’s nodes, where its path crosses the Sun’s. Astrologers treat them as the hinges of the year: the dates when the themes of a house move fastest.
- 6 February 2027: solar eclipse in Aquarius
- 20 February 2027: lunar eclipse in Virgo
- 2 August 2027: solar eclipse in Leo
- 17 August 2027: lunar eclipse in Aquarius
Mercury retrograde 2027
Mercury appears to move backwards three or four times a year. Tradition says: back up, re-read, revise and return; a poor time to launch. Dates are accurate to within a day or two.
- 11 February 2027 to 4 March 2027, in Aquarius
- 12 June 2027 to 5 July 2027, in Cancer
- 9 October 2027 to 29 October 2027, in Libra
Venus retrograde 2027
- None this year
Mars retrograde 2027
- 12 January 2027 to 2 April 2027, in Leo
What do these dates mean for you?
A new moon is a beginning and a full moon is a culmination, but where each one lands depends on your own chart: a full moon in Virgo is a money matter for one person and a work reckoning for another. Your Year Ahead works that out for your birthday: every moon of your year, every eclipse and retrograde, read for your own houses, in one file that runs on your phone or computer without an account.
Frequently asked
Are these times in my time zone?
No, they are UTC (Greenwich). Add your offset: for example, +1 hour in the UK in winter, +2 in Central Europe, -5 on the US East Coast. A moon exact at 23:00 UTC can fall on the next calendar day further east.
How accurate are the dates?
New and full moons are exact to within an hour. Retrograde dates are from daily positions and can be a day off at either end.
What is a “void of course” moon?
Not covered here; this calendar lists the lunations (new and full moons), the eclipses and the retrogrades, which are the dates most people plan around.
