The next full moon is Monday, 26 October 2026 at 04:13 UTC, in Taurus.
The October full moon in Taurus →A full moon is the moment the Moon stands opposite the Sun and its visible face is lit from edge to edge. That instant is computed rather than observed, which is why a calendar can name it to the minute months ahead.
It is the peak of the cycle. Whatever has been building since the new moon two weeks earlier is now in plain sight, and the fortnight that follows takes things apart rather than sets them up.

Monday, 26 October 2026, at 04:13 UTC — the Moon is full in Taurus. That is one instant for the whole planet, so read it off your own clock instead of adding a day to it. The card for that night carries its meaning and a ritual.
Taurus. The sign is wherever the Moon sits on the zodiac at the exact moment it is full, directly opposite the Sun, so it moves on by roughly one sign each month and never repeats the sign the Sun is in. Every card below names the sign of its own full moon.
Every 29.5 days, which is the length of one lunar cycle. That works out at twelve or thirteen a year, and when a single calendar month catches two of them the second is called a blue moon. February is short enough to miss out altogether once or twice a century.
A supermoon is a full moon that falls near perigee, the closest point of the Moon's orbit to Earth, where the disc looks about 14% wider than at its farthest. This calendar works out the moment and the sign from the Moon's longitude, not its distance, so it cannot tell you whether the next one qualifies. Three or four full moons in a year usually do.
At 04:13 UTC, and that is a single instant everywhere — your local time is the same moment shifted by your time zone. New York runs four or five hours behind it, Madrid one or two hours ahead, Sydney ten or eleven. When the instant falls near midnight, your local date can land a day either side of the one listed here.
Finish rather than begin. The peak of the cycle suits endings — settling a debt, returning what you borrowed, handing work over — and the traditional rituals all come down to marking one thing complete. Anything you want to start belongs at the new moon, when the cycle restarts.
