The next full moon is on October 26, 2026, at about 04:08 UTC, with the Moon in Taurus. It is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon of September 26, which makes it this year's Hunter's Moon.

We calculated every full moon of 2026 with the same Sun and Moon position engine behind our birth charts, rather than copying a printed calendar.

Thirteen, not twelve

A lunar month (new moon to new moon) lasts about 29.5 days, so twelve of them come to about 354 days, eleven short of a calendar year. Every two or three years the gap is big enough for a thirteenth full moon to fit. 2026 is one of those years. Its extra full moon falls in May, which has two: May 1 and May 31. The second full moon in a calendar month is popularly called a Blue Moon.

Why October 26 is the Hunter's Moon

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the September equinox; in 2026 that is September 26, three days after the equinox on September 23. The full moon after it is traditionally called the Hunter's Moon. That is the one on October 26.

Where it falls in your local time

At 04:08 UTC on October 26, it is 13:08 in Seoul and Tokyo and just after midnight (00:08) in New York, both on the 26th. On the US West Coast it is still the evening of October 25 (21:08 in Los Angeles). The Moon looks full for a night either side, so either evening works for seeing it.

What the numbers do and don't tell you

Full-moon times are astronomy: the moment the Moon sits opposite the Sun. Astrology reads a full moon as a culmination point, with its meaning coloured by the sign it falls in. That reading is an interpretation, and these times cannot prove or disprove it. They can tell you exactly when it happens.

How we calculated: the moment the Moon's apparent longitude is 180 degrees from the Sun's, searched to the minute through 2026, using the public-domain (Meeus) Sun and Moon formulas in our chart engine. Our January full moon differs from published almanac times by about 13 minutes; treat times as accurate to within roughly a quarter of an hour.
