New moon in October 2029
Sunday 7 October 2029, 19:14 UTC
The Sun and the Moon stand together in the zodiac sign of Libra. The Moon is invisible: it is in the daytime sky with the Sun and turns its dark side to us.
What tradition sees in the new moon
A blank beginning, in the good sense. A small start is quite enough today.
The sign of Libra
Libra begins at the September equinox, when day and night are the same length, and balance is its theme. Astrologers describe it as friendly, fair and keen to keep things even, with a sense of form and beauty. Venus, its ruler, stands here for relationships and harmony. A Libra likes to weigh things up for a long time because it wants to be fair to everyone. Its task is to come to a decision in the end.
When to look for the first crescent
The thin crescent of the waxing Moon appears one or two evenings after the new moon, low in the west shortly after sunset. Exactly when depends on where you are: the visibility of the new crescent.
