The new moons that matter most
The February 6 annular eclipse in Aquarius opens the year's eclipse story around community, technology and independence.
The August 2 total eclipse in Leo is the headline event of 2027. It puts creativity, leadership and personal recognition at the centre. See the 2027 eclipse calendar for details.
The August 31 new moon in Virgo is the second of the month, often called a black moon. It suits a practical reset after the eclipse weeks.
Capricorn bookends the year. The January and December new moons both fall in Capricorn, which makes them natural dates for setting and then reviewing annual goals.
Avoid these timing overlaps
Mercury retrograde covers three new moons in part: the March 8 lunation falls in its shadow, and the July 4 and October 29 lunations land right as Mercury changes direction. Contracts and launches are better placed a week or two later. The exact windows are in the Mercury retrograde 2027 guide.
How to work with a new moon
- Pick one intention per lunation. A single concrete goal is easier to review at the next full moon.
- Match it to the sign. Taurus suits money, Gemini suits learning, Libra suits relationships.
- Wait out eclipses. Observe what shifts for a few days before committing.

Key Takeaways
- 2027 has 13 new moons, and August has two of them.
- The February 6 and August 2 new moons are solar eclipses.
- Capricorn hosts both the first and the last new moon of the year.
- New moons suit beginnings, but eclipse new moons are better for observing than launching.
