New moon November 2027 in Sagittarius

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 5°39′ Sagittarius, the Moon actually stands in front of Scorpius, the scorpion, not the constellation Sagittarius is named after. The Sun, right beside the Moon at 5°39′ Sagittarius, is in front of Scorpius.

The planets at this new moon

Where everything else stands at the exact moment, and any major aspect each planet makes to the Moon, using the same orbs Hali uses in every chart.

The tightest contact is a sextile from Pluto, 0.5° from exact. A sextile from Pluto offers an opening that is easy to miss if you are not looking. A trine from Neptune tends to make its themes easy to draw on. With Uranus opposite the Moon, its themes tend to show up as a pull in another direction. Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde at this moment.

Planets to look for

Eclipse season
