The Moon changes shape roughly every two weeks. Below are all the new moons and full moons of 2026 and 2027, the sign each one falls in, and which of them are eclipses.
Times are given in UTC.
At a new moon the Moon sits between the Earth and the Sun, so its lit side faces away from us and the sky stays dark. It is the quiet start of the cycle - a good moment to set something in motion rather than to finish it.
At a full moon the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and the whole face we can see is lit. Whatever has been building up tends to come to a head - endings, results and honest conversations belong to this half of the cycle.
