New moon, annular solar eclipse
New moon in Aquarius
Exact on Wednesday 26 January 2028, 15:13 UTC, which is in your time zone. The Moon stands at 6°11′ Aquarius, together with the Sun, 405,025 km from Earth.
An annular solar eclipse marks the new moon of 26 January 2028, exact at 15:13 UTC at 6°11' Aquarius. Its magnitude is 0.922 and it falls near the north node. At 405,025 km the Moon is too far away to cover the whole Sun, leaving a bright ring. Pluto is conjunct the lunation within 0.6 degrees and Uranus trines it within 0.1. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus are retrograde.
The tradition treats Aquarius as the sign of community, ideas and independence, and solar eclipses as stronger new moons whose themes are read over several months. Near the north node, astrologers associate an eclipse with growth toward something unfamiliar; Pluto close by is taken to deepen that, and the Uranus trine to ease change. A modest step: name one group or cause you care about and consider a small, regular contribution.
