Full Moon Leo 2024. A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) sun and moon are in the exact opposite positions in the zodiac (called an opposition). The first full moon of the year takes place on january 25, 2024, at 12:54 p.m.

That creates different lunar phases. In august 2024, we can expect the delightful leo new moon and the transformative aquarius full moon, all while mercury retrograde is in motion.
