Questions
When is the next full moon?
Tuesday November 24, 2026, in Gemini.
What is the difference between a new moon and a full moon?
At a new moon the Moon stands with the Sun and its lit side faces away from us, so it cannot be seen. At a full moon it stands opposite the Sun and the whole face is lit.
Why is the full moon a different date where I live?
Each one is exact at a single moment for the whole Earth, so near midnight it falls on one date in one country and the next date in another. The times on this page are shown in your own time zone.
What do the new and full moons mean in astrology?
The new moon is read as a beginning and the full moon as a culmination, and each takes the colour of the sign it falls in. Where that sign falls in your own chart says which part of your life it lights.
