In the sky
What you’ll see.
A new moon is normally invisible, but this one crosses the face of the sun. Along a narrow path over parts of southern South America, including Chile and Argentina, and out across the South Atlantic, the moon is too far from Earth to cover the sun completely and leaves a bright ring of fire. A partial eclipse is visible over parts of South America, Antarctica and western and southern Africa. Never look at the sun without certified eclipse glasses, even when most of it is covered. Everywhere else, look low in the west after sunset a day or two later for the first thin crescent.
Annular solar eclipse. Greatest eclipse is at 15:59 UTC. See the local circumstances for 19 places on eclipses 2027. Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses.
The next full moon is the Snow Moon on February 20-21.
Astrology
New moon in Aquarius: what it means.
In astrology, a new moon that coincides with a solar eclipse is traditionally seen as an especially strong starting point, a door that opens wider than usual. This one falls in Aquarius, the sign of the future, friendship, community and original ideas. Aquarius tends to begin not from discipline but from an idea that will not go away. The theme of this cycle is doing something differently from how you always have, and finding the people who fit that new direction. Chinese New Year, which opens the Year of the Goat, is timed by this same new moon, so the date carries a sense of beginning in more than one tradition.
Rituals
Three new moon rituals.
- Write a letter from your future self Write a short letter from yourself five years from now: where you live, what you do, what has changed. Keep it with your calendar and reread it at the next full moon.
- Try one new thing this cycle Choose something you have never done and plan it within the next two weeks. Small counts: a different route, a new group, an unfamiliar tool.
- Reach out to your people Aquarius intentions grow in company. Send one message to someone who already lives or works the way you would like to, and ask them one good question.
