The lunar cycle is astrology's simplest working tool: a new moon opens the cycle and favors beginnings, a full moon is its culmination — results and clarity. Below is every lunation of 2026 with exact times, computed with Swiss Ephemeris. Times are Moscow time (UTC+3); subtract 3 hours for UTC.

How to use this calendar
- New moon — the starting point: plans, launches, first steps. Energy is low on the exact day, so set intentions then and begin acting a day or two later on the waxing moon.
- Full moon — the peak: completions, results, important conversations. The emotional background runs brighter than usual — budget for it.
- Eclipses (February 17, March 3, August 12, August 28) are amplified lunations: events around them tend to be bigger and more fateful. The classic advice — don't force new beginnings within ±3 days.
- Watch the sign of each lunation: it lands hardest on people with Sun, Moon or rising sign there — check yours in the birth chart calculator.
Which exact life area answers a given new moon depends on the house it falls into in your chart — that's personal-forecast territory. The general tone of the day for your sign is always in the daily horoscopes.
