Full Moon Calendar

When is the Next Full Moon?

A full moon occurs when the moon is fully illuminated as seen from Earth, marking the midpoint of the lunar cycle, roughly 14.77 days after the new moon. This phase happens when the moon is directly opposite the sun, with Earth in between, causing the moon’s surface to appear completely lit. Typically, there are 12 to 13 full moons in a year, each often tied to cultural, agricultural, and ecological significance.
