Cold Moon	Monday, Dec. 13	11:09 a.m. EST	8:09 a.m. PST

The Moon looks full for about a day on either side of these times, so the evening before or after is just as good for viewing. Two dates depend on where you are. The Strawberry Moon is on June 19 in Universal Time but still June 18 across the United States, and the Beaver Moon is Nov. 14 in Europe and Nov. 13 in the U.S.

The names are the traditional ones listed by the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which draws on Native American, Colonial American or other traditional North American sources; its September name is Corn Moon, also called the Harvest Moon. Our full moon printable lists all 12 with times in all four mainland U.S. zones.

Harvest Moon and Hunter’s Moon 2027

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the September equinox. In 2027 the equinox is Thursday, Sept. 23 at 2:02 a.m. EDT, and the nearest full moon is eight days earlier, on Wednesday, Sept. 15. The next full moon, the Hunter’s Moon, is on Friday, Oct. 15.

New moon nights are the darkest of the month and the best for meteor showers and the Milky Way. The Feb. 6 new moon matters on three calendars at once: it sets up the Lunar New Year on Feb. 6, the crescent watch for Ramadan 2027, and an annular solar eclipse.

Eclipses in 2027

Date	Eclipse	What to expect
Saturday, Feb. 6	Annular solar	A “ring of fire” over southern South America, the South Atlantic and West Africa
Saturday, Feb. 20	Penumbral lunar	Greatest at 6:13 p.m. EST, shortly after moonrise in the eastern U.S.; the shading is subtle
Sunday, July 18	Penumbral lunar	So shallow (magnitude 0.0014) that it cannot be seen
Monday, Aug. 2	Total solar	Central duration 6 min 23 s; path crosses Spain, North Africa and the Middle East
Tuesday, Aug. 17	Penumbral lunar	Greatest at 3:14 a.m. EDT, visible across the Americas as a faint shading

These come from NASA’s eclipse list for 2027, which gives the Aug. 2 eclipse a central duration of 6 minutes 23 seconds. No total or partial lunar eclipse occurs in 2027, only the three penumbral ones.

The phases, briefly

The Moon takes about 29.5 days to go from new to new. NASA describes eight phases: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter and waning crescent. Only four of them, the new moon, the two quarters and the full moon, are instants that can be timed to the minute. Those are the times in our tables.

The one-page moon phase calendar draws the Moon for every day of 2027 as it looks at noon Eastern Time. The monthly version adds the percentage lit and fits on a fridge next to a January 2027 printable calendar. For the whole year in one place, there is also our 2027 printable yearly calendar.

2027 seasons

Event	Date and time (Eastern)	Universal Time (UT)
Earth at perihelion (closest to the Sun)	Saturday, Jan. 2, 9:33 p.m. EST	Jan. 3, 02:33
Spring (March equinox)	Saturday, March 20, 4:25 p.m. EDT	March 20, 20:25
Summer (June solstice)	Monday, June 21, 10:11 a.m. EDT	June 21, 14:11
Earth at aphelion (farthest from the Sun)	Monday, July 5, 1:06 a.m. EDT	July 5, 05:06
Fall (September equinox)	Thursday, Sept. 23, 2:02 a.m. EDT	Sept. 23, 06:02
Winter (December solstice)	Tuesday, Dec. 21, 9:42 p.m. EST	Dec. 22, 02:42

Season times also come from the USNO, which lists them in Universal Time. The December solstice falls on Dec. 22 in Universal Time but is still the evening of Dec. 21 in the Eastern time zone, and the perihelion is on Jan. 3 in Universal Time but the evening of Jan. 2 in the Eastern time zone. Daylight saving time in 2027 runs from Sunday, March 14 to Sunday, Nov. 7, which is why the times switch between EST and EDT. To plan Harvest Moon week, print the September page of the monthly moon calendar and pair it with a September printable calendar.
