The 2025-26 Prince Kūhiō Hawaiian Civic ClubMoon Calendar was inspired and created through the research of the late Aunty Bobbee Mills-Diaz; and edited, updated and enhanced by Kalei Nuʻuhiwa. The PKHCC Hawaiian Moon Calendar displays lunar information including moon phase recommendations for planting and fishing. Traditionally, the Hawaiian calendar year starts with Makahiki, a time when ancient Hawaiians allowed the land to rest knowing the stormy season was ahead. The start of Makahiki season was signaled by the eastern rise of Makaliʻi (the constellation Pleiades) at sunset.
The science of the moon: The moon fully orbits the Earth every 29.5 days and is constantly changing. On the PKHCC Hawaiian Moon Calendar, about five to six times throughout the year two phases will occur on a single solar calendar day. Therefore certain solar calendar days within our PKHCC lunar calendar show as duplicate dates so that viewers can track when those changes occur. The upcoming 2025-26 PKHCC Hawaiian Moon calendar shows seven “double days”.
