New Moon in Aquarius — February 6, 2027
Exact at 10:56 AM ET · 17° Aquarius · Annular solar eclipse
This one is also an eclipse — annular, at 17° Aquarius. A solar eclipse is a new moon that crosses directly in front of the Sun, close enough to the lunar nodes for the shadow to reach Earth. Astrologically an eclipse is read as this moon on a longer fuse: weeks rather than days, and more often a door that closes behind you than one you can walk back through.
Do it differently on purpose
Aquarius new moons favour the departure from how you have always done it — the unconventional arrangement, the group you would not normally join, the experiment your past self would call impractical. Detachment helps here. Set the intention as though advising someone whose life you find interesting but are not responsible for.

Full Moon in Virgo — February 20, 2027
Exact at 6:24 PM ET · 2° Virgo · Penumbral lunar eclipse
This one is also an eclipse — penumbral, at 1° Virgo. A lunar eclipse is a full moon that passes through Earth's own shadow, which is why it reddens rather than dims. Astrologically an eclipse is read as this moon on a longer fuse: weeks rather than days, and more often a door that closes behind you than one you can walk back through.
The system, not the effort
A Virgo full moon exposes the gap between how hard you have been working and how well the arrangement actually works. Small failures cluster — the calendar, the handover, the thing only you know how to do. The temptation is to work harder through it. Virgo's actual instruction is subtraction: one process ends here, and the relief is disproportionate to its size.

How these dates were calculated
A new moon is the instant the Moon and Sun share the same ecliptic longitude; a full moon is the instant they sit exactly opposite. Both are single moments rather than nights, and both are computed here directly from the Swiss Ephemeris — the engine professional astrology software runs on — then localized to US Eastern Time. Nothing on this page is copied from another calendar.
The degree matters more than the phase. A full moon at 2° Virgo activates whatever sits near that degree in your own chart, which is why one lunation flattens one person and passes another entirely. To find out which of your placements February 2027's moons touch, cast your free natal chart and compare the degrees, then read your monthly horoscope for the wider context.
That was the sky. This is your sky.

What sign is the full moon in February 2027?
Virgo — exact at 2° Virgo on February 20, 2027. A full moon always falls in the sign opposite the Sun, because the two stand exactly across the zodiac from each other at that moment.
