Moon Calendar — February 2022

In February 2022 the Moon changes zodiac sign 12 times and passes through all 12 signs. It starts the month in Aquarius on February 1 and ends it in Aquarius on February 28. Counting the sign it occupies at noon UTC each day, it spends the most days in Pisces (3 days), Gemini (3 days) and Leo (3 days).

The main lunar phases this month are: New Moon on February 1 in Aquarius, First Quarter on February 8 in Taurus, Full Moon on February 16 in Leo and Last Quarter on February 23 in Sagittarius.

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.
