Reading a year of moons
A lunar month — new moon to new moon — runs about 29 days and 12 hours, so 12 of them land inside the 2028 calendar. That mismatch is the whole reason a lunar calendar looks irregular next to a solar one: the same phase falls a little earlier each month, a month can hold two full moons, and once every two or three years a year collects thirteen.
The Moon in column is the zodiac sign the Moon occupies at that exact moment, which is what astrologers mean when they call something "a full moon in Scorpio". It changes every two and a half days or so as the Moon goes round, and it is a different thing from your own Moon sign, which is fixed at your birth. Nothing on this page forecasts events; it is a timetable of where the Moon is.
How the dates are calculated
With astronomy-engine, the same ephemeris library behind our birth chart calculator and our eclipse tracker. New and full moon moments were checked against AstroPixels (Fred Espenak, NASA/GSFC); the agreement is better than two minutes, which is smaller than the rounding in most printed calendars.

Frequently asked questions
How many full moons are there in 2028?
13. That is one more than the usual twelve, because the 29.5-day lunar month fits into a solar year thirteen times roughly every two and a half years — the extra one is what people mean by a "blue moon". There are 12 new moons.
Which time zone are the 2028 moon phase times in?
They are calculated in UTC and converted by your browser to the time zone your device is set to — named at the top of the table. A new or full moon is a single instant worldwide, so only the local clock reading changes; a moment late at night in London can be the previous afternoon in Los Angeles.
Are there eclipses in 2028?
Yes — 5 of the lunations below fall on an eclipse and are marked in the table. Solar eclipses always happen at a new moon and lunar eclipses at a full moon. The eclipse tracker has the type, the moment of maximum and where each one is visible.
What is a void-of-course Moon?
The stretch between the Moon's last exact aspect to a planet and the moment it enters the next sign. There are 164 such windows across 2028; each month page lists them with start and end times. Traditional practice treats them as poor windows for launching something and good ones for finishing and resting — a timing convention, not a prediction.
Where do these dates come from?
They are calculated with astronomy-engine, the same ephemeris library behind our birth chart calculator, rather than copied from a table. New and full moon moments were checked against AstroPixels (Fred Espenak, NASA/GSFC) and agree to better than two minutes.
