The Full Moon is magic. Even if you’re not a practicing witch, astrologer, or werewolf (kidding—probably), you’ve likely felt its power. From ancient legends to modern spiritual practices, the Full Moon has always been a time of heightened energy, clarity, and transformation.
Astronomically, the Full Moon rises in the sky roughly every 29.5 days. At that time, the Sun fully illuminates the Moon, making it shine brightly in the night sky.
Spiritually, it’s the perfect time for setting intentions, manifesting desires, and performing rituals. Many believe it amplifies emotions, deepens intuition, and enhances magical workings—so whether you’re charging crystals, doing spells, or just gazing up in awe, it’s worth paying attention to.
So, when is the next Full Moon? Below, you’ll find the complete Full Moon calendar for 2025 and 2026. I’ve also included the zodiac sign each Full Moon falls in and the traditional names and spiritual meanings for the Full Moon of each month.

Key Full Moon Events in 2025
Blood Moons and Total Lunar Eclipses
- March 14, 2025 (Worm Moon in Virgo)
- September 7, 2025 (Harvest Moon in Pisces)
What is a Blood Moon? A Blood Moon occurs during a Total Lunar Eclipse, when the Earth moves directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that gives the Moon a reddish hue due.
Every total lunar eclipse is a blood moon, though the degree of how red the moon is varies based on atmospheric conditions like dust, pollution, and volcanic activity. Some Total Lunar Eclipses appear deep red, while others may be more orange or copper-toned.
This eerie, copper-colored glow has long been associated with prophecy, transformation, and powerful energetic shifts in spiritual traditions.
Supermoons
- November 5, 2025 (Beaver Moon in Taurus)
- December 4, 2025 (Cold Moon in Gemini)
What is a Supermoon? A Supermoon happens when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth during a Full Moon, making it appear larger and brighter than usual in the night sky. Some believe Supermoons amplify emotional energy, heighten intuition, and enhance the power of moon-related rituals.
Blue Moons
A Blue Moon is the second full moon that occurs within a single calendar month, making it a rare event that happens approximately every two to three years. Despite its name, the Moon doesn’t actually turn blue—it’s simply an astronomical term for this uncommon occurrence. The next one is on May 31, 2026.

What Is a Full Moon?
The Full Moon occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, with the Earth positioned between the two. This allows the Sun’s light to fully illuminate the Moon, making it appear as a glowing orb in the night sky. It happens roughly every 29.5 days, marking the midpoint of the lunar cycle.
For thousands of years, the Full Moon has been surrounded by mysticism, folklore, and scientific curiosity. Some believe it affects emotions, sleep, and even human behavior—hence the word “lunatic,” which comes from luna, the Latin word for Moon.
In spiritual and magical traditions, the Full Moon is seen as a time of culmination, heightened intuition, and powerful energy shifts. Many cultures and belief systems recognize this phase as a significant moment each month.
Full Moons are a time for:
- Manifestation and intention-setting
- Releasing what no longer serves you
- Performing Full Moon rituals (charging crystals, tarot readings, spellwork, and meditation)
- Observing seasonal changes and natural cycles
Whether you’re tracking lunar phases for astrology, spiritual practice, gardening, or simple curiosity, understanding the Full Moon’s influence can help you work with its energy instead of against it.

Where Do Full Moon Names Come From?
Many sources claim that the Full Moon names commonly used today—like Wolf Moon or Harvest Moon—originate from the Algonquin tribes, but this isn’t entirely accurate. While some names do come from Indigenous American traditions, others were introduced by European settlers or stem from Colonial American folklore.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac clarifies this misconception:
“The Moon names we use in The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from Native American, Colonial American, or other traditional North American sources passed down through generations. For example, the name of January’s Wolf Moon is not a traditional Native American name; it’s thought to have English origins and was brought to North America by European settlers.”
For instance, the Algonquin tribes do not call January’s Full Moon the Wolf Moon—they refer to it as Kinozidj Kìzis, or the Long Moon. Many Indigenous tribes have their own unique names for each Full Moon. The Tlingit of the Pacific Northwest call January’s moon the Goose Moon, while the Oneida have my personal favorite: Teyakohuhtya’ks, meaning “Someone’s Ears Are Freezing Moon.” (Yes. Mine.)
Understanding the true origins of these names helps honor their diverse cultural roots rather than repeating common misconceptions
