Early on 9 December 2026, at 00:52 UTC, the Moon joins the Sun at 16°57' Sagittarius for the new moon. At about 404,688 km, the Moon is near the far end of its orbit. There is no eclipse and no planet within orb of a major aspect. Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Chiron are retrograde.
Sagittarius, mutable fire ruled by Jupiter, is read as the sign of meaning, learning, travel and candor. The tradition treats a new moon here as a fitting moment to set intentions about what you believe and where you want to grow. The retrograde planets are read as a reason to keep long plans flexible. Astrologers often note the sign's appetite for the big picture. A practical step: pick one subject you are curious about and give it an hour of real study before the year ends.
