This subject has been posted a number of times by me and by others. It remains, for me, unresolved. If this is not a bug but a lack of understanding on my part, please point me in the right direction.
I need to know when the next full moon is. As of today, July 20, 2017, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac https://www.almanac.com/astronomy/moon/full, the next full moon occurs on August 7. I would expect that %nextfullmoon% and/or %nextfullmoondate% would return August 7, but they do not.
%fullmoon% and %fullmoondate% return July 9, which is the last full moon. %nextfullmoon% and %nextfullmoondate% return September 6 which is the full moon after the new moon. Is there a variable which will return the next full moon, which as of today, occurs on August 7?
Hi Brian,
I’ve had this same problem for quite a few versions. As I recollect, %fullmoon% and %fullmoondate% don’t seem to ‘reset’ until the end of the calendar month but %nextfullmoon% and %nextfullmoondate% reset right after the full moon.
Thanks,
Roger
