The new moon calendar.
A new moon is the Sun–Moon conjunction: both luminaries at the same ecliptic longitude, the Moon invisible between Earth and Sun. The instants below are computed zero crossings of their elongation, each with the shared sign and degree of the conjunction.
New moons are conventionally read as seed points. Where that degree falls in your own houses is chart-specific — houses need your exact birth time and place.

Every computed instant, 2026–2027
Common questions.
When is the next new moon?
Sun and Moon meet at 17°22′ Libra on October 10, 2026 at 15:51 UTC.
How are these dates computed?
Each row is a root-found instant from the VSOP87 ephemeris pipeline behind every chart on this site: conjunctions and oppositions of the luminaries for lunations, zero crossings of longitude rate for stations, and longitude crossings for shadow periods. Nothing is reprinted from a third-party almanac.
Where does it land in your chart?
A calendar tells you when. Where it lands depends on your own chart: the free cast returns your Big 3 — Sun, Moon, and Rising in under a minute, no signup — and the paid readings map your natal chart in full, house cusps included.
