Moon Calendar — February 2021

In February 2021 the Moon changes zodiac sign 13 times and passes through all 12 signs. It starts the month in Libra on February 1 and ends it in Virgo on February 28. Counting the sign it occupies at noon UTC each day, it spends the most days in Libra (3 days), Pisces (3 days) and Taurus (3 days).

The main lunar phases this month are: Last Quarter on February 4 in Scorpio, New Moon on February 11 in Aquarius, First Quarter on February 19 in Gemini and Full Moon on February 27 in Virgo.

For context: the Moon circles the zodiac in about 27.3 days, so it usually stays in one sign for roughly 2 to 2.5 days before moving on. Its phases follow the longer synodic month of about 29.5 days — the time from one new moon to the next — which is why each phase lands on a different date every month. All times here are UTC, so a sign change or phase near midnight may fall on the neighboring date in your time zone.
