This new moon: total solar eclipse

This new moon happens close to a lunar node, so the Sun, Moon and Earth align almost exactly and the Moon's shadow reaches Earth. Maximum eclipse: Aug 12, 2026, 05:45 PM UTC. It is visible only from a band of Earth's surface; elsewhere this is an ordinary new moon.

What tradition reads in it

Astrologers link Leo to the heart, to play, to the honest wish to shine and be seen. A moon here turns the light toward your own expression — what you create, how you show up, where you dim yourself to keep the peace. Treat this as a pause to look, not a stage cue. You might ask what you would make or say if you trusted the attention, and where pride has quietly hardened into performance. The tradition reads Leo as warmth that wants to be shared, not hoarded. There is no verdict here about who you are. Wherever you have quietly turned the spark down, this season offers it a little more room.

When is the next new moon?
The date and time above are the exact instant the Sun and Moon meet at the same degree, computed from an ephemeris. We show it in UTC and in your local time.
Why do some sites show a different date?
A lunation happens at one instant in UTC, which can fall on a different calendar day depending on your timezone. We show the exact UTC moment and your local time side by side, so there's no ambiguity.
What does a new moon mean?
Astronomically, the Sun and Moon meet at the same degree and the Moon is invisible from Earth. Tradition reads it as the start of a cycle — a moment to take stock and begin quietly. That's a lens, not an instruction; the computed part is the moment itself.
