There are twelve full moons in 2027. The first is the Wolf Moon supermoon on Friday, January 22, the last is the Cold Moon on Monday, December 13, and the rare one is a seasonal blue moon on May 20. Every date and time below is in Alberta time, with a ritual guide for each moon.
The moon has always been that girl. She moves tides, she keeps time, and she has a way of whispering the one thing most of us need to hear: slow down, notice where you are, start again.
I think of her as a mirror for our own cycles. Some weeks you're glowing in fullness. Some weeks you're pulled inward and quiet. Both are the same moon. Both are yours.
This is the front door to every moon guide I've written, now built around the 2027 calendar. Find your month, bookmark the page, and come back when the next one is rising.

The Rare Ones in 2027
One supermoon worth getting up for. The Wolf Moon on January 22 is the closest full moon of 2027 and the last of three supermoons in a row, after November 24 and December 23, 2026. Some lists count February's Snow Moon as a supermoon too; it's close, but January is the big one.
One blue moon. Spring 2027 holds four full moons instead of the usual three, which makes the third, May 20, a seasonal blue moon. There's no calendar-month blue moon this year. What a blue moon means · the ten-minute blue moon ritual
Three quiet eclipses, no blood moon. All three lunar eclipses in 2027 are penumbral, which means a faint shading rather than a red moon. February 20 happens before moonrise in Alberta, and July 18 is in daylight and almost too slight to measure. August 17 is the one you can see from here, after midnight. The next true blood moon is December 31, 2028, and the next one visible from Alberta is June 2029. The blood moon guide has the full eclipse table.
One micromoon. The Buck Moon on July 18 is the farthest full moon of the year. Smaller, slower, and nobody writes headlines about it, which is half its charm.
Every 2027 Full Moon, Month by Month
What each moon has traditionally been for, and where to go next.
January 22 — Wolf Moon (Supermoon in Leo)
The year opens with its biggest moon: the closest supermoon of 2027, about 357,600 km away. January's full moon has always been the one about who you've stopped calling and who you're still howling for. Leo adds a nudge to take up a little more room this year. Fair warning: it peaks at 6:17 a.m., so look up on the evening of the 21st or the 22nd. It reads full both nights.
The Wolf Moon guide → · Full moon in Leo →
February 20 — Snow Moon (Virgo)
The quietest reset of the year, and the one that lets you release without making a production of it. Virgo keeps it specific: name the one thing, not the whole list. There's a penumbral eclipse underneath it, but it's over by the time the moon clears the horizon in Alberta, so don't set an alarm.
The Snow Moon guide → · Full moon in Virgo →
March 22 — Worm Moon (Libra)
A day and a half after the spring equinox, when the ground softens and things start moving underneath before anything shows on top. The first full moon of spring, in balanced Libra.
April 20 — Pink Moon (Scorpio)
Named for the wild pink phlox, not the colour of the moon, which will look exactly as moon-coloured as usual. The moon for when spring finally commits, with Scorpio underneath asking what's worth keeping as things start to bloom.
The Pink Moon guide → · Full moon in Scorpio →
May 20 — Flower Moon (Blue Moon in Scorpio)
The rare one of 2027. Spring gets four full moons this year, which makes May's the seasonal blue moon. It lands in Scorpio for the second month running, so the theme carries: depth, release, and the work under the surface. Extra credit, cosmically speaking.
The Flower Moon guide → · The blue moon ritual →
June 18 — Strawberry Moon (Sagittarius)
Peak light, just before the solstice, and the first honest look at what's grown since January. In Alberta it peaks at 6:44 p.m. on June 18, while most calendars set to UTC will tell you June 19. Both are right. Yours is the 18th.
July 18 — Buck Moon (Capricorn)
The micromoon of 2027: the farthest full moon of the year, about 406,000 km away, and a little smaller than usual. Something building beneath the surface, finally showing. Capricorn wants the honest accounting of what you've built.
The Buck Moon guide → · Full moon in Capricorn →
August 17 — Sturgeon Moon (Aquarius)
Late summer, and what the season is asking of you before it turns. This one comes with a penumbral eclipse you can see from Alberta: from 11:24 p.m. on August 16 to 3:03 a.m., deepest at 1:14 a.m. It's subtle: at best a faint grey shading on one edge, never a red moon. Treat it as a reason to be outside, not a spectacle.
The Sturgeon Moon guide → · Eclipses and blood moons →
September 15 — Harvest Moon (Pisces)
The full moon closest to the fall equinox, a week ahead of it this year. It doesn't ask what you'll release. It asks what you finished. Pisces softens the question, which helps.
October 15 — Hunter's Moon (Aries)
Count the pantry, cull one thing, name what you're hunting. October's moon is the practical one, and Aries makes it brisk.
November 13 — Beaver Moon (Taurus)
The moon for setting the load down and finishing the lodge before winter. It peaks at 9:26 p.m. on the 13th in Alberta, which is November 14 almost everywhere east of us.
December 13 — Cold Moon (Gemini)
The last full moon of 2027, and the long-night moon. Light a candle, keep it short, and close the year the way you'd close a good book.
The Cold Moon guide opens here on October 30.

New Moons and Starting Over
Full moons get the attention. New moons do the quiet work of beginning. The beginner's new moon guide has every 2026 and 2027 new moon date in Alberta time, and the ritual is one candle, one crystal and one wish.
- New moon rituals for beginners — if you've never done this before, start here
- March new moon ritual — the last reset before the astrological new year (March 8, 2027)
- Aries new moon ritual — the bold one, for starting before you feel ready (April 6, 2027)
- New moon in Taurus — the patient one, for intentions you'll keep
- New moon in Virgo — the tidy one, for a September-style reset
The Phases (and How to Work With Them)
Each phase carries its own job. Think of it as a natural calendar for your rituals, your intentions, and the occasional honest reckoning. If you want to know what a stone does before you pair it with a phase, the A–Z crystal properties guide is the reference I keep going back to.
🌑 New Moon → Fresh Intentions
The sky goes dark, the slate goes clean. This is the moment to name what you want before you can see it yet.
- Jewelry pairing: a moon pendant, close to the heart, to anchor what you named.
- Affirmation: "I plant seeds of clarity and let them grow in their own timing."
- Ritual: write three intentions, then wear your piece each time you come back to them. Full walkthrough in the beginner's new moon guide.
🌒 Waxing Crescent → Growth Energy
The light returns a little each night, and so does momentum. This is the doing phase.
- Jewelry pairing: star earrings — every step is a spark.
- Affirmation: "Every action I take fuels my growth."
- Ritual: one journal line — what single step will I take this week?
🌕 Full Moon → Celebration & Release
The full moon is the loud one. Big, bright, and brimming. It's the time to celebrate what's come to fruition and put down what hasn't.
- Jewelry pairing: statement celestial hoops or a medallion necklace.
- Affirmation: "I celebrate my growth and release what blocks me."
- Ritual: leave your jewelry in the moonlight overnight, then wear it the next day. Every named full moon above has its own version. One caveat before you set anything on a windowsill: check the water-safety chart first, because overnight dew is harder on some stones than people expect.
🌘 Waning Moon → Reflection & Rest
The exhale after all that energy. Let go, declutter, recharge. No guilt.
- Jewelry pairing: moon studs or a dainty crescent charm — small reminders to rest.
- Affirmation: "I honour the pause and restore my energy."
- Ritual: ten minutes of stillness, wearing your piece, noticing what shifted.
Why Jewelry Works as a Ritual Tool
Here's the plain version of why I make what I make:
- A tangible anchor. Wearing a piece keeps the intention on you, in the ordinary hours where you need reminding.
- Symbolic shorthand. Crescents, stars and celestial forms have marked cycles and renewal for thousands of years. You're joining something old.
- A ritual you'll repeat. Leaving a piece in the moonlight is a practice many traditions keep — not because the stone changes, but because the act marks the moment and you remember it.
- You get to look fabulous. Not the point. Still true.
When you're ready to reset a piece between moons, the moonlight, smoke and sound cleansing guide covers it without the overwhelm.
Journal Prompts for Any Moon

The moon's whole lesson is that you don't have to shine all the time. She disappears every month and nobody calls it a failure. Pair your rituals with a piece you'll wear, and you carry that reminder into the days that need it.

FAQ
Q: How many full moons are there in 2027?
A: Twelve, one in every month. The first is the Wolf Moon on January 22 and the last is the Cold Moon on December 13.
Q: Is there a blue moon in 2027?
A: Yes, a seasonal one. Spring 2027 has four full moons, so the third, the Flower Moon on May 20, is a blue moon. There's no month with two full moons in 2027.
Q: When is the supermoon in 2027?
A: January 22, the Wolf Moon. It's the closest full moon of the year, at about 357,600 km. Some broader definitions also count February 20.
Q: Is there a blood moon in 2027?
A: No. The three lunar eclipses in 2027 (February 20, July 18 and August 17) are all penumbral, so the moon dims slightly rather than turning red. The next total lunar eclipse is December 31, 2028.
Q: What time zone are these dates in?
A: Alberta time (UTC−6), which Alberta uses year-round from November 2026. Two dates shift if you're reading a UTC or European calendar: the Strawberry Moon is June 19 there, and the Beaver Moon is November 14.
Q: When is the Harvest Moon in 2027?
A: September 15, at 5:03 p.m. Alberta time. It's the full moon closest to the fall equinox on September 23, which makes October 15 the Hunter's Moon.
Q: Why do full moons have names?
A: Most of the names in common use were popularised by the Old Farmer's Almanac, drawing on North American Indigenous and early colonial traditions. Each one is tied to what was happening on the land that month: wolves in January, thawing ground in March, wild strawberries in June. They're seasonal markers, not scientific terms.
Q: Do I need to see the moon for a ritual to count?
A: No. Cloud cover, a 6 a.m. peak or a sleeping household don't cancel anything. The moon is full for most of a night on either side of the peak, and the ritual is about marking the moment, not the view.
