Eclipses in 2026

There are 4 eclipses in 2026: 2 solar and 2 lunar. A solar eclipse falls at a new moon and a lunar eclipse at a full moon, when the Sun, Earth and Moon line up closely enough. Whether you can see one depends on where you are, so check a local eclipse map before you plan to watch.

• February 17: New Moon in Aquarius, an annular solar eclipse.
• March 3: Full Moon in Virgo, a total lunar eclipse.
• August 12: New Moon in Leo, a total solar eclipse.
• August 28: Full Moon in Pisces, a partial lunar eclipse.

Many astrologers treat eclipses as times of faster change, and others treat them like any other new or full moon. A quiet reflection is a good way to meet them either way.

How to use the 2026 moon calendar

You do not need to follow the Moon closely. On each new moon, write one intention for the month. On each full moon, look back, note what has moved and let go of one thing. The first new moon of 2026 is the New Moon in Capricorn on January 18, and the first full moon is the Full Moon in Cancer on January 3. The year ends with the Full Moon in Cancer on December 24.
