Next Full Moon

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?

I am running WD 10.37S44 under Windows.

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

Wondering if this will be addressed at some point?

Today is August 8, 2017. This bug continues to be an issue for me, as Weather Display reports the following moon phase related values:

Full Moon: 18:11 UTC August 7 2017
Full Moon Date: August 07 2017

Next Full Moon: 18:41 UTC October 5 2017
Next Full Moon Date: October 5 2017

So what of the actual next full moon which occurs on September 6, 2017?

this update fixes it

Thanks, Brian, I’ll try it this weekend!!

After copying over the file and restarting WD, %nextfuillmoondate% reports September 6, 2017, which is correct.

Thank you for the fix.
