Full moon calendar 2027: every full and new moon (Eastern Time)

Full moon calendar 2027 with dates and times for every full and new moon in Eastern Time, full moon names, supermoons, eclipses and what each phase means for fishing and hunting.

Here is the complete full moon calendar for 2027, with every full moon and new moon, their traditional names, the supermoons and the eclipses. Times are calculated with astronomical ephemerides and given in Eastern Time (EST in winter, EDT from March 14 to November 7, 2027).

March 22	6:44 a.m.	Worm Moon
April 20	6:27 p.m.	Pink Moon
May 20	6:59 a.m.	Flower Moon

There are 12 full moons in 2027, so no calendar "blue moon" this year. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the fall equinox (September 23), which makes it September 15; the Hunter's Moon follows on October 15.

Converting to your time zone

Central Time: subtract 1 hour.
Mountain Time: subtract 2 hours (Arizona doesn't use daylight saving, so in summer subtract 3).
Pacific Time: subtract 3 hours.
Alaska: subtract 4 hours; Hawaii: subtract 5 hours in winter, 6 in summer.

A phase that falls just after midnight ET can land on the previous day out west. For example, the December 2026 full moon is on December 23 at 8:28 p.m. ET, but already December 24 in Europe.

Supermoons and micromoons

A supermoon is a full moon near perigee, the closest point of the moon's orbit.

December 23, 2026: the closest full moon of the period, about 356,700 km (221,600 miles) from Earth.
January 22, 2027: the biggest full moon of 2027, about 357,600 km (222,200 miles).
July 18, 2027: the farthest, a micromoon at about 406,000 km (252,300 miles).

In summer 2027 the perigee lines up with the new moon instead: July 3, August 2 and August 31. These "super new moons" bring the strongest tides of the year on the coast, even if you can't see them.

Eclipses in 2027

February 6: annular solar eclipse over South America and the South Atlantic. Not visible from the US.
February 20: penumbral lunar eclipse, peak around 6:12 p.m. ET. Visible from parts of the Americas, but very subtle: a slight shading of the moon.
July 18 and August 17: two more penumbral lunar eclipses, hard to notice.
August 2: a total solar eclipse with one of the longest totalities of the century, across southern Spain, North Africa and Egypt. Not visible from the US.
Next notable one for North America: a partial lunar eclipse on January 12, 2028.

What the 2027 moon means for fishing

Solunar theory rates the days around new and full moon highest, and stronger still when the moon is near perigee. The bigger tides help saltwater anglers most: see tides and solunar for saltwater fishing, redfish fishing tips and striped bass fishing tips.

Late spring full moons (April 20, May 20, June 18) often line up with bluegill and bass spawning: see bluegill fishing tips.
Fall full moons (October 15, November 13) are classic for night trolling and the striper run.
Super new moons in July and August mean big tidal swings, great for moving-water fish.

Remember the moon is one factor; weather and water temperature often matter more. Read best moon phase for fishing for an honest take.

What it means for hunting

Full moon: deer, elk and waterfowl often feed more at night, so midday and evening hunts can beat dawn. See deer hunting moon phase and duck hunting tips.
September 15 full moon lands at the start of peak elk rut.
November 13 Beaver Moon sits right in the whitetail rut: see when is the rut.

Moon times for your exact location

Phase times are the same everywhere, but moonrise, moonset and the solunar windows depend on where you stand. The Solunar app calculates them offline from your GPS position and shows them on a 24-hour dial with a 1–4 star day rating, so you can turn this calendar into a plan.
