Asked often
When is the Full Moon in January 2027?
The Full Moon falls on 22 Jan (Leo). The New Moon falls on 7 Jan (Capricorn). Times follow your time zone, so the date can differ by one day from calendars set to another zone.
What is a void-of-course Moon?
The Moon is void of course between its last exact aspect to the Sun or a planet and its entry into the next sign. Astrologers traditionally avoid starting important things then. Days in January 2027 with the Moon void for six hours or more: 1 Jan, 3 Jan, 6 Jan, 8 Jan, 11 Jan, 13 Jan, 20 Jan, 21 Jan.
What are the best days for a haircut in January 2027?
By the tradition (Moon in Taurus, Cancer, Leo or Libra, not void of course): 17 Jan, 18 Jan, 23 Jan, 27 Jan. A waxing Moon is said to make hair grow faster and a waning Moon slower. This is folk tradition, not science.
When should I sow and plant in January 2027?
Old almanacs sow when the Moon is in a fertile sign and not void of course: 2 Jan, 7 Jan, 12 Jan, 17 Jan, 18 Jan, 27 Jan, 29 Jan, 30 Jan. Leafy and fruiting crops go in while the Moon waxes, root crops while it wanes. It is tradition, not tested agronomy.
Why do the times differ from another Moon calendar?
Moon calendars use different time zones. This page converts every time to the zone of your device and uses UTC when it cannot. Phases and sign changes are computed from astronomical positions and are good to about a minute.
Are the good-day columns scientific?
No. The Moon phase and the Moon sign are astronomy. Which days suit a haircut, a new start or the garden is traditional folk astrology, shown with the rules used so that you can judge it yourself.
How the traditional columns work
The phase, Moon sign and void-of-course times are astronomy and are computed. The three right-hand columns are folk tradition, not tested science. We apply fixed rules and print them here.
Starting things: good in a waxing Moon, neutral in a waning one, avoid on the waning crescent days before the New Moon and when the Moon is void of course for 6 hours or more of the day.
Haircut: good with the Moon in Taurus, Cancer, Leo or Libra, avoid with the Moon in Aries, Gemini, Scorpio or Aquarius or when void. A waxing Moon is said to make hair grow faster, a waning Moon slower.
Garden: good with the Moon in a fertile sign (Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces); sow leafy and fruiting crops while the Moon waxes and root crops while it wanes. Other signs are for weeding and tending, and a void Moon is a day off.
A day counts as void when the Moon is void of course for 6 hours or more of it. The Moon sign shown is the sign at the start of the UTC day; the following sign change is listed under it.
