Moon Calendar — April 2021
The Moon's zodiac sign for every day of April 2021, with sign-change times and all four phases — computed from real planetary positions. Times are UTC.
The Moon in April 2021
In April 2021 the Moon changes zodiac sign 14 times and passes through all 12 signs. It starts the month in Sagittarius on April 1 and ends it in Sagittarius on April 30. Counting the sign it occupies at noon UTC each day, it spends the most days in Sagittarius (4 days), Capricorn (3 days) and Aries (3 days).
The main lunar phases this month are: Last Quarter on April 4 in Capricorn, New Moon on April 12 in Aries, First Quarter on April 20 in Leo and Full Moon on April 27 in Scorpio.
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.
