How to read this calendar
Each time is the exact instant of maximum phase, given in UTC. The Moon looks essentially full for about a day either side, so a peak that lands at an awkward hour is not a missed event — step outside the evening before or after.
The sign column is the tropical zodiac position of the Moon at that instant, which is what most lunar practice is keyed to. Every monthly page expands on what that sign asks of you, and the wider cosmic calendar adds eclipses, meteor showers and the numerology portals that fall in the same months.
