Moon Calendar — July 2023
The Moon's zodiac sign for every day of July 2023, with sign-change times and all four phases — computed from real planetary positions. Times are UTC.
The Moon in July 2023
In July 2023 the Moon changes zodiac sign 13 times and passes through all 12 signs. It starts the month in Sagittarius on July 1 and ends it in Capricorn on July 31. Counting the sign it occupies at noon UTC each day, it spends the most days in Sagittarius (4 days), Capricorn (4 days) and Gemini (3 days).
The main lunar phases this month are: Full Moon on July 3 in Capricorn, Last Quarter on July 10 in Aries, New Moon on July 17 in Cancer and First Quarter on July 25 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.
