New Moon Calendar 2027: Every Date and Sign
New Moon Calendar 2027: All Thirteen New Moons
In this new moon calendar 2027, Thirteen new moons fill 2027, which is one more than the usual twelve, and each one falls in a different sign except for Capricorn, which gets two. The year opens with a new moon in Capricorn on January 7 and closes with a new moon in Capricorn on December 27. Two of the new moons coincide with solar eclipses: February 6 in Aquarius, which is an annular solar eclipse, and August 2 in Leo, which is a total solar eclipse. The dates here are Pacific Time, the time zone this site uses. The times are Pacific Time too. Each date, time, and sign in this guide was checked with the Swiss Ephemeris, so you can plan these nights with confidence. A new moon happens when the Sun and the Moon are in the same part of the sky, with the Moon between Earth and the Sun, and the Moon's lit face points away from us, so the Moon is dark in the sky. It is the darkest night of the month, and the new moon meaning covers what it has meant across traditions. This page starts with the full calendar, then goes month by month through the year, so you can plan around it all year.

How to Use a New Moon
A new moon is the darkest night of the month, and it has been used as a marker for beginnings for as long as people have watched the sky. The first use is intention. Write down what you want, in one sentence, with a number and a date if you can, and put it where you can see it, following a simple new moon ritual if you want a structure for it. The intention does not need to be grand. It needs to be specific. The second use is starting. The new moon is the first day of the lunar month, which runs from new moon to new moon in about 29 and a half days, and it is a natural moment to start something: a habit, a project, a conversation, or a plan. The third use is quiet. A new moon is a good night to rest, to dream, and to listen, because the dark sky favors the inner life. The new moon in your sign in 2027 falls on April 6 for Aries, May 6 for Taurus, June 4 for Gemini, July 3 for Cancer, August 2 for Leo, August 31 for Virgo, September 29 for Libra, October 29 for Scorpio, November 27 for Sagittarius, January 7 and December 27 for Capricorn, February 6 for Aquarius, and March 8 for Pisces. Every sign gets a new moon in 2027, and Capricorn gets two. If you want to set an intention, the new moon in your sign is the strongest night of the year to do it, and the new moon in the sign opposite yours is a good night to set an intention about a relationship.
New Moons, Eclipses, and the Months With Two
Two of the thirteen new moons of 2027 coincide with solar eclipses, and both are worth knowing. The February 6 new moon in Aquarius is an annular solar eclipse, with a magnitude of 0.928 and annularity lasting up to 7 minutes 51 seconds. The August 2 new moon in Leo is a total solar eclipse, with a magnitude of 1.079 and totality lasting up to 6 minutes 23 seconds. An eclipse new moon carries extra weight in astrology, and it is read as a turning point, a moment when a situation that was already changing becomes impossible to ignore. The new moons also follow a pattern worth noticing. The Moon moves about 13 degrees a day across the sky, and it crosses a 30 degree sign in about two and a third days, so the new moon sign changes every month as the Sun moves through the signs. The new moon is always in the same sign as the Sun, which is why the January new moon is in Capricorn while the Sun is in Capricorn, and the July new moon is in Cancer while the Sun is in Cancer. The new moons of 2027 cover all twelve signs, with Capricorn getting two and no sign getting none. The lunar month runs about 29 and a half days against a 365 day solar year, so some years have twelve new moons and some have thirteen. 2027 has thirteen new moons and twelve full moons, which means August has two new moons while every month has exactly one full moon. The second new moon in a calendar month is sometimes called a Black Moon, and August 31, 2027, is the Black Moon of the year.
