July 2026 full moon: Wednesday 29 July in Aquarius
The July full moon is exact on Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 14:38 UTC, with the Moon in Aquarius and 100% of the disc lit.
Meaning
A full moon in Aquarius clarifies where you sit in a group: the community you have outgrown, the cause that is carrying you, the friendship that turned into an obligation. With a Leo Sun opposite, the question is whether belonging still leaves room for you. Leaving one thing is more useful than joining another.
Rituals

Questions about the July 2026 full moon
What sign is the July full moon in?
Aquarius, because at the moment of a full moon the Moon sits opposite the Sun and takes the facing sign. It advances by roughly one sign a month, so no two consecutive full moons repeat it.
What time is the July full moon in my country?
14:38 UTC is Universal Time. Take five hours off for New York, add one or two for Madrid, add ten or eleven for Sydney. When the instant falls near midnight your local date lands a day either side of 29 July 2026.
When is the next full moon after this one?
28 August 2026, in Pisces. Two full moons are 29 or 30 days apart, so the next one normally falls in the following calendar month; the table above lists every full moon of 2026.
What are you supposed to do on the July full moon?
Finish rather than begin: settle the debt, return what you borrowed, send the thing sitting in drafts. The disc reads full to the eye for about a day either side of 14:38 UTC on 29 July 2026, and practice allows that whole window. Starting things belongs to the new moon a fortnight later.
