Moon Calendar — October 2030
The Moon's zodiac sign for every day of October 2030, with sign-change times and all four phases — computed from real planetary positions. Times are UTC.
The Moon in October 2030
In October 2030 the Moon changes zodiac sign 14 times and passes through all 12 signs. It starts the month in Sagittarius on October 1 and ends it in Capricorn on October 31. Counting the sign it occupies at noon UTC each day, it spends the most days in Sagittarius (4 days), Capricorn (4 days) and Taurus (3 days).
The main lunar phases this month are: First Quarter on October 4 in Capricorn, Full Moon on October 11 in Aries, Last Quarter on October 19 in Cancer and New Moon on October 26 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.
