What would it mean to put your name behind the work that feels generous as well as personally true, without treating this new moon as a deadline?

In the real sky

The Moon lies between Earth and the Sun, so its lit half faces away from us. It usually passes a little above or below the Sun, which is why most new moons are not eclipses.

What to look for

There is nothing to see at the moment itself: the Moon is up in daytime, lost in the Sun’s glare.
One or two evenings later, look low in the west just after sunset for the first thin crescent.
The nights around a new moon are the darkest of the month, the best time to look for faint stars and meteors.

Behind this eventExact times, positions, sources, and method

Exact instant: 2028-08-20T10:43:51.966Z
Ecliptic longitude: 147.94° · 27°56′ Leo
Fact source: transits-2028-08.json

The times of planet ingresses, stations and aspects come from NASA JPL's DE441 ephemeris, read through its Horizons service. Other instants and the positions come from the site's astronomy engine and its committed yearly and monthly sky catalogs, the same data behind the Almanac and the daily horoscopes. Times are universal time; in the Americas an instant can fall the evening before the date printed. Sign-by-sign notes, where present, use whole-sign solar houses. The readings are a tradition being applied, not a forecast. The methodology page sets out both halves.
