New moon March 2027 in Pisces

What time is it where you are?

The same instant falls on different dates around the world, so check the date as well as the time.

When to look for the first crescent

A new moon itself cannot be seen, because it sits in the Sun's glare. The thin crescent usually shows up low in the west after sunset once the Moon sets about 60 minutes after the Sun. This is the first evening that happens in each city.

Clear skies and a low western horizon help a lot, so treat these as the first good chance, not a promise.

The stars behind this new moon

Signs follow the seasons and constellations are patterns of stars, and the two have drifted apart over the centuries. At 17°35′ Pisces, the Moon stands in front of Pisces, the fishes, so this time the sign and the stars agree. The Sun, right beside the Moon at 17°34′ Pisces, is in front of Aquarius.

Eclipse season

The Moon is 27.1° from the North Node, one of the two points where its path crosses the Sun's. Eclipses only happen when a new or full moon falls near a node, so this one falls outside eclipse season. The next eclipse is the penumbral lunar eclipse at the full moon of July 2027.
