New Moon, February 2027
6 Feb 2027, 15:56 UTC · Sun and Moon at 17.6° Aquarius · annular solar eclipse
The New Moon of February 2027 is exact 6 Feb 2027, 15:56 UTC at 17.6° Aquarius, and it is an annular solar eclipse — the first eclipse of 2027 — with the maximum 4 minutes after the conjunction, at 15:59 UTC. The conjunction is 3.3° from the lunar node. Uranus stations direct 1.8 days later and Mercury stations retrograde 3.1 days later. The same moment is 6 Feb, 10:56 EST in New York, 6 Feb, 15:56 GMT in London and 7 Feb, 02:56 AEDT in Sydney.
165 days — to exact, counted from 2026-08-25 04:22 UTC; the Moon is waxing gibbous at 91.3% illumination now.

What this means for everyone
Annular, and why
A solar eclipse is a new moon close enough to a lunar node for the Moon's disc to cross the Sun's; this conjunction is 3.3° from the node, which is deep inside the limit. Whether the eclipse is total or annular is a separate question — the Moon's distance, not its longitude: near apogee the disc is too small to cover the Sun and a ring is left, which is what annular means. The ephemeris search returns the type; this page prints it with the two instants — conjunction at 15:56 UTC, maximum at 15:59 UTC — and does not compute where on Earth the ring is seen.
Two stations in three days
Uranus stations direct at 8 Feb 2027, 12:00 UTC, 1.6° Gemini, 1.8 days after the eclipse; Mercury stations retrograde at 9 Feb 2027, 17:36 UTC, 5.9° Pisces, 3.1 days after the eclipse. One outer planet resuming forward motion and one inner planet reversing, both inside the eclipse's first three days, is a specific shape: the slow theme released as the fast one turns back. These are independent cycles landing together, and the page can say so because the station table is refined on the same lattice as the lunation.
Aquarius, the second decan
Seventeen and a half degrees of a fixed air sign — the tradition's register of the group, the principle, the system seen whole — and an eclipse there is read as a seed with a season's reach rather than a month's. That reach belongs to everyone: the degree is the same in every chart, and the fixed cross it activates (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius) is the same set of signs for the whole planet. Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are retrograde as it happens.
Then the lunar half
Eclipses come in pairs. The lunar half of this season is the Full Moon of 20 Feb 2027, 23:23 UTC at 2.0° Virgo, a penumbral lunar eclipse 14 days on, across the mutable axis rather than the fixed one. A chart with points near 17.6° of the fixed signs and near 2° of the mutable ones has both halves of the season landing on it.
For a chart
An eclipse within a degree or two of a natal planet or angle is one of the tradition's marked events, and the degree to check is 17.6° Aquarius on the fixed cross. Everything else is the season's background. Which house the eclipse seeds needs the birth time and place — the reason the handoff asks for full details.
What the instrument claims
Conjunction, maximum, degree, node distance, eclipse type, two stations — computed. Not the path of annularity, not a prediction.
For your chart specifically
The eclipse is at 17.6° Aquarius. A natal point near that degree of the fixed cross is where the season lands hardest; the house needs a birth time.
How this appears in Cosmic KPI
The Eclipse Pack in Life Cycles lists this eclipse with its degree and flags whether it sits within a few degrees of a natal planet or angle of yours; the calendar marks it on its day.
Common questions
- When is the new moon in February 2027?
- 6 Feb 2027, 15:56 UTC; the same moment is 6 Feb, 10:56 EST in New York, 6 Feb, 15:56 GMT in London and 7 Feb, 02:56 AEDT in Sydney.
- What sign is the February 2027 new moon in?
- Aquarius — 17.6° Aquarius. Tropical; a sidereal ephemeris has it in Capricorn.
- Is the February 2027 new moon a solar eclipse?
- Yes: an annular one, maximum 6 Feb 2027, 15:59 UTC, the conjunction 3.3° from the node. Where the ring is visible is not computed here.
- When is the lunar eclipse in February 2027?
- 20 Feb 2027, 23:23 UTC, a penumbral lunar eclipse with the Moon at 2.0° Virgo — the second half of this eclipse season.
- Does Mercury go retrograde after the February 2027 eclipse?
- Yes, 3.1 days after it: 9 Feb 2027, 17:36 UTC at 5.9° Pisces. Uranus stations direct 8 Feb 2027, 12:00 UTC at 1.6° Gemini.
- What lunation comes next?
- The full moon of 20 Feb 2027, 23:23 UTC at 2.0° Virgo; then the new moon of 8 Mar 2027, 09:29 UTC at 17.5° Pisces. The full moon before this eclipse was 22 Jan 2027, 12:17 UTC at 2.2° Leo.
- What does this eclipse mean for my chart?
- Only your birth time and place decide it. The app takes both, places 17.6° Aquarius, and lists what the eclipse touches, dated.
