Full Moon Calendar for 2025

The full moon is magic. Even if you’re not a practicing witch or mystic (or werewolf — kidding), I’m sure you’ve felt its power. And, no doubt, have heard some of the legends associated with it. Illuminated by the reflection of the sun, the glowing orb lights our night sky in a remarkable way about every 29 days.

And, when it comes to magic, one of the most potent times to set an intention, manifest your desires, or do a spell is on the full moon. It was also the time of the month when it’s easiest to see what you’re doing outside at night. Which is usually helpful for rituals. So, when is the next full moon?

Below, you’ll find the Full Moon calendar for 2025, a look back at those for 2024, the astrological sign each falls in, and the Full Moon names and their spiritual meanings.

Full Moon Names

Some of the moon names you’ve heard before are said to come from the Algonquin tribes, but they don’t. Even though this is a rumor that persists across the Internet, The Old Farmer’s Almanac has explained this is inaccurate.

“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 brought to North America by European settlers.”

They’re right. The Algonquins don’t call January’s full moon the Wolf Moon. They call it Kinozidj Kìzis or the Long Moon.

There are many names for the full moon across the different Native American tribes. For instance, the Tlingit, the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest are said to call the first moon of the year the Goose Moon. My personal favorite is the Oneida’s name for January’s moon. It’s Teyakohuhtya’ks or “Someone’s Ears Are Freezing Moon.” Yes, mine.
