January's full moon comes on 22 January 2027 at 12:17 UTC, with the Moon at 2°14' Leo and the Sun opposite at 2°14' Aquarius. At 357,644 km it is a perigee full moon, popularly a supermoon, appearing slightly larger and brighter than usual. There is no eclipse. Neptune trines the Moon within 0.2 degrees and Pluto opposes it at 2.8 degrees, while Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are retrograde.
The tradition treats Leo, a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun, as the sign of creativity, pride, play and an open heart, balanced here against Aquarius and its concern for the group. Astrologers read the Neptune trine as softening and imaginative, and the Pluto opposition as a note of intensity. One modest idea: spend an evening on something creative purely for enjoyment.
