February 2027: two eclipses, a Leo weekend for growth and Virgo days to hold the cut
The waxing Moon is in Leo on February 19 and 20, then wanes through Virgo on February 21 and 22. An annular solar eclipse on February 6 and a penumbral lunar eclipse on February 20 bookend the month.

Leo for growth, then Virgo for shape, over one long weekend

- Growing it out? February 19 is the cleanest growth day, clear of the eclipse.
- Book February 22 for a shape cut if you follow the skip-eclipse-days rule.
- Planning a colour refresh for Valentine's week? February 15 and 16 are the Gemini days.
February hands you the tidiest window of the winter. The Moon enters Leo on Friday, February 19, waxing and nearly full, and stays in Leo through Saturday, February 20. Both are growth days by the folk rules: a growing Moon in a hair sign. February 20 is the first Saturday growth day on this calendar, so if you trim regularly to grow your hair long, it is worth booking early.
The Moon turns full late on February 20 (UTC) and is in Virgo, waning, on Sunday, February 21 and Monday, February 22. Those are the shape days, the tradition's pick for a cut that should stay crisp.
There is one wrinkle. A penumbral lunar eclipse comes with that full Moon, late on February 20 in UTC. A penumbral eclipse is the faintest kind, a slight dimming many people never notice. Still, plenty of Moon calendars skip eclipse days for anything important, hair included. If you follow that stricter line, February 19 is your growth day and February 22 your shape day, safely clear of the eclipse.
Valentine's Day itself, Sunday, February 14, has the Moon in Taurus and waxing. That is neutral ground: fine for a growth trim, nothing special.
The Moon this month
An annular solar eclipse in Aquarius
The new Moon of February 6 is an annular solar eclipse, the kind where the Moon is too far from Earth to cover the Sun completely and leaves a bright ring. NASA's eclipse catalogue lists it, and our ephemeris puts it at 17° Aquarius.
Aquarius is an air sign, and the waxing air days are the tradition's colour days. On a normal month February 7 would be a good colour pick. With an eclipse the day before, cautious Moon-calendar readers would wait. The safer colour window is February 15 and 16, when the waxing Moon is in Gemini.
February's full Moon is the Snow Moon in the Farmers' Almanac naming. This year it is the eclipsed one, at 2° Virgo.

Quick answers
What is the best day to cut hair in February 2027 by the Moon?
For growth, February 19 and 20, 2027 (waxing Moon in Leo). For a lasting shape, February 21 and 22 (waning Moon in Virgo). If you skip eclipse days, use February 19 and February 22.
Should I avoid a haircut during the February 2027 eclipses?
That is a matter of which tradition you follow. Many Moon calendars skip eclipse days. The annular solar eclipse is on February 6, 2027 and the penumbral lunar eclipse is late on February 20 (UTC). There is no evidence either one affects hair.
Is Valentine's Day 2027 a good day for a haircut?
It is neutral by the folk rules. On February 14, 2027 the Moon is in Taurus and waxing, so a growth trim is fine but not a top pick. The Leo days on February 19 and 20 rate higher.
Which days should I avoid cutting hair in February 2027?
6 days: Cancer Feb 17-18; Scorpio Feb 25-26; Pisces Feb 8-9. Many Moon calendars also skip the eclipse days: Feb 6 and Feb 20.
