Moon Calendar — January 2028
The Moon's zodiac sign for every day of January 2028, with sign-change times and all four phases — computed from real planetary positions. Times are UTC.
The Moon in January 2028
In January 2028 the Moon changes zodiac sign 14 times and passes through all 12 signs. It starts the month in Pisces on January 1 and ends it in Aries on January 31. Counting the sign it occupies at noon UTC each day, it spends the most days in Pisces (5 days), Aries (3 days) and Taurus (3 days).
The main lunar phases this month are: First Quarter on January 5 in Aries, Full Moon on January 12 in Cancer, Last Quarter on January 18 in Libra and New Moon on January 26 in Aquarius.
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.
