14 voids, 17% void
String lights, short days, and fourteen voids to close the year.
December wraps up 2027 with fourteen voids and a neat symmetry: the Moon is void as the year ends, just as it went void within hours of the year beginning. On December 31, it sextiles Saturn in Aquarius and then drifts for about eighteen hours, carrying the void straight across midnight into 2028.
If you like your New Year's resolutions on fresh lunar ground, wait until the Moon enters Pisces on January 1, 2028. If you like a quiet, reflective midnight, this is a great setup: write down what the year taught you, then sleep on it.
Earlier in the month, the Full Moon in Gemini is chatty and social, perfect for parties. A Leo void in the middle of the month is only about twenty minutes long. The New Moon in Capricorn lands just after the solstice, near the holidays, a natural time to sketch next year's goals before you act on them.
7th of 12
December 2027, counted
14 windows, 127 h. 7th of 12 by hours; 10% under a 2027 month's mean; none past 24 h, 1 under 60 min. Weekend starts (UTC): 3. Weekday 13:00 to 22:00 UTC starts: 3.
The Full Moon at 21°25′ Gemini on Mon Dec 13 · 16:08 UTC, the New Moon at 5°50′ Capricorn on Mon Dec 27 · 20:12 UTC: 2, both clear of any void.
The sky behind it
December last aspects: Jupiter 8, Saturn 4, Mercury 1, Sun 1. Method.
4 planets close voids
Jupiter's month
Jupiter closes eight of December's fourteen voids, the most for any planet in any month of 2027. The Moon trines Jupiter from Capricorn on December 2, opposes it from Pisces on the 7th, trines it from Taurus on the 11th, squares it from Gemini on the 14th, sextiles it from Leo on the 16th and Scorpio on the 24th, squares it from Sagittarius on the 27th, and trines it from Capricorn again on the 29th.
Saturn takes most of the rest, four windows, including the long Libra void on December 22 that lasts sixteen hours, and the final void of the year in Aquarius.
The shortest December void is the Leo window on the 18th, twenty minutes after a trine to Mercury. The Sun closes just one, a square from Virgo on the 20th. The Full Moon in Gemini on December 13 is clear of voids by about eight hours, and the New Moon in Capricorn on the 27th comes after that day's Sagittarius void has already ended.

December: when to wait, when to go
Try this today
- Write your 2027 recap during the final void.
- Host the party near the Gemini Full Moon.
- Set 2028 goals at the Capricorn New Moon, act after New Year's Day.
Plan holiday gatherings freely, since most December voids are short. Treat New Year's Eve as a reflection night and save the first big move of 2028 for after the Moon enters Pisces.
The voids that touch December holidays: the Libra window on December 22 runs from 01:00 to 17:00 UTC, the Scorpio one on Christmas Eve runs from 18:11 to 23:50 UTC, and the last void of the year opens at 14:41 UTC on December 31. Christmas Day itself is clear. In New York that Scorpio window runs from 1:11 to 6:50 pm, so a Christmas Eve dinner that starts at 7 sits just after it.

Quick answers
Is the Moon void of course on New Year's Eve 2027?
Yes. It goes void on December 31, 2027 after a sextile to Saturn in Aquarius and stays void into January 1, 2028, when it enters Pisces.
Is the Moon void of course on Christmas 2027?
Check December 25 in the checker; it converts each window to your time zone, so the answer depends on where you are.
When does December's Gemini Full Moon fall relative to the voids?
Comfortably between them. The Taurus window closed at 03:54 UTC on December 12, the lunation itself arrives at 16:08 UTC on the 13th, and the following square to Jupiter that opens the Gemini void waits until 00:04 UTC on the 14th.
