Moon calendar 2026

Here is the year's moon calendar: every full moon and new moon with its sign, then the current month in detail, day by day. The data is calculated, not copied — the same astronomical base professional software runs on.

Every full moon of the year carries a traditional name inherited from the almanacs and the peoples who lived by the seasons — from January's Wolf Moon to December's Cold Moon. Each name has its story and its tone; click through for the exact date and the full meaning:

Lunar logic fits in three rules. During the waxing moon — new moon to full moon — launch what should grow: projects, plantings, haircuts for fast regrowth. During the waning moon, finish and lighten: close files, sort, prune the garden, cut hair you want to hold its shape. The full moon and new moon daysthemselves are pauses: emotions run high on one, energy runs low on the other — observe, don't force.

The sign the Moon crosses adds the day's flavor: Moon in Taurus for practical matters, in Gemini for meetings and calls, in Pisces for creative work and rest. It's an observational rhythm handed down by tradition — we display it with real astronomical data, and the use stays entirely up to you.
