New moon and full moon rituals 2027
Every new moon and full moon from now to the end of 2027, each with a simple ritual and its tarot card, plus the five eclipses of 2027 and how to work with them.
A simple new moon ritual
The new moon is the start of the lunar month: dark, quiet and full of potential. It is the best night to decide what you want to grow over the next four weeks.
- Clear your space. Tidy one corner, open a window and light a candle or incense.
- Check the sign. Each new moon falls in a zodiac sign. Use the calendar below to see which area of life it favours.
- Write your intentions. Up to three, in the present tense, as if they are already happening: “I am…”, “I have…”.
- Pull one card. Ask: what will help my intention grow? Or try the New Moon Seeds spread.
- Take one small step within three days. An intention without action is a wish. Keep the page somewhere you will see it.
A simple full moon ritual
The full moon is the peak of the cycle. Emotions run high and what has been growing comes into the light. It is the night to release, forgive and celebrate.
- Reread your new moon intentions. Notice what has moved and what is stuck.
- Write what you are ready to let go of. A habit, a fear, a grudge, a role you have outgrown.
- Release it. Tear the page, burn it safely or bury it in a plant pot.
- Celebrate and thank. Name three things that grew this month, however small.
- Charge and rest. Leave water or crystals in the moonlight and go to bed early. For a deeper reading, use the Full Moon Release spread.

Eclipses 2027
Eclipses are supercharged new and full moons. They come in seasons about six months apart and bring sudden, fated change: endings that make room and doors that open out of nowhere. In 2027 the eclipses fall mostly on the Leo–Aquarius axis, so love, creativity, friendship and your hopes for the future are the big themes.
A fresh start for friendships, community and future plans. Also Chinese New Year.
Habits, health and work routines reach a turning point. Release what drains you.
Very faint, but a career or family role still comes to a head.
The headline event of 2027: bold new beginnings in love, creativity and self-belief.
A friendship or group chapter closes, making room for the people who fit your future.
On an eclipse, do
Rest, journal and notice what shifts. Let endings happen. Say yes to doors that open naturally. Keep plans flexible for a week either side.
On an eclipse, avoid
Forcing intentions or big rituals. Making permanent decisions in the heat of the moment. Signing major contracts on the day itself. Save manifesting for the next regular new moon.

What should I do on a new moon?
Set intentions. Clear your space, light a candle, write what you want to begin in the present tense and choose one small action you can take within three days. A new moon is for planting, not for rushing.
What should I do on a full moon?
Release and celebrate. Write what you are ready to let go of, thank what has grown since the new moon, and rest. Many people charge crystals or water under full moonlight.
Should I manifest during an eclipse?
Most astrologers advise against forcing intentions on an eclipse. Eclipses bring sudden, fated change, so rest, notice what shifts and set your intentions at the next regular new moon instead.
