What this page covers
Full moon and new moon dates month by month, with the moon sign, the traditional name and the illumination for every day. The material below is the plain version. Where two traditions disagree, the more widely used reading comes first and the alternative after it.
A lunar month runs about twenty nine and a half days, which is why the full moon drifts a little earlier each month against the calendar.
Nobody reads a reference page top to bottom. Use the listing to jump straight to your entry and treat the surrounding notes as background. A calendar earns its place by being quick to use rather than long to read.
How the readings here are worked out
Dates here come from the astronomical moment of the phase, so a full moon late at night in one timezone can read as the next day in another.
Where a date is involved we use the astronomical event rather than a rounded calendar day, since rounding is what makes two sites disagree by a day.
Older and newer schools disagree in places. Where they do, the widely taught version leads and the variant is mentioned rather than buried.
Reading the moon calendar in context
Planning with the calendar is simple: the two weeks after a new moon suit starting things and the two weeks after a full moon suit finishing them.
Take one claim from a reading and look for it somewhere else on the site. What survives that trip is the part worth keeping.
Not every day, sign or number is significant. Letting the blank ones stay blank keeps the useful ones meaningful.
Using the moon calendar day to day
Each month links through to the phase page and the traditional full moon name, so the calendar, the reading and the name stay in one place.
Read one line, test it against something concrete, and leave the rest.

Common mistakes people make
A tendency is not a rule. Readers who take a description as a fixed boundary get the least out of material like this.
Skipping the uncomfortable half wastes the reading. The difficult line is usually the one worth sitting with.
The third is stacking readings until one agrees with you. Pick the one that answers your actual question and stop. To turn this into something you can use, try moon phase today, full moon names and moon phase by birthday.
Where this sits in the wider system
No page here stands alone. The zodiac, the moon, numerology and the symbolic libraries describe the same ground from different angles.
For symbols, try the dream dictionary or spiritual meanings. For anything worked out from a birth date, use the calculators.
When you do not know which page you need, describe the situation to the AI astrologer and follow the links it returns.
Questions this page answers well
The strength of a reference page is precision on small factual questions rather than depth on large ones.
Where the question is about your life rather than a definition, treat this page as one input among several.
If the question has real consequences, take it to someone qualified rather than to a symbolic reading.
How we keep this page accurate
Keep the parts that match your experience and drop the rest. A reading that has to be forced is the wrong reading.
The figures are rebuilt from source each time the site is built, so a stale date fails the build rather than reaching the page.
