On November 9, 2026, at 08:02 local time in Amsterdam (CET), the New Moon arrives at approximately 17° Scorpio - a dark, potent reset in the sign of depth, transformation, and the unseen. This is the first New Moon of Scorpio season, and it lands in the middle of two overlapping retrogrades. The sky is asking us to begin again from what has already been reviewed, not from what has been avoided.
On October 26, 2026, at 05:11 local time in Amsterdam (CET), the Full Moon reaches its peak as the Hunter’s Moon - a luminous lunation in the early degrees of Taurus, opposite the Sun in Scorpio. This is the first Full Moon after the Harvest Moon, traditionally named for the time when fields were cleared and moonlight helped gather what was needed before winter. In Taurus, that harvest is material and emotional: what we value, what we own, what makes us feel safe, and what we are still holding that no longer nourishes us.
On October 10, 2026, at 17:50 local time in Amsterdam (CEST), the New Moon arrives at approximately 17° Libra - a quiet reset in the sign of the scales, ruled by a planet that is already looking backward. Libra wants harmony, beauty, and a fair exchange. This year, that wish arrives with a condition. Venus, Libra’s ruler, stationed retrograde in Scorpio on October 3 and will not turn direct until mid-November.
On September 26, 2026, at 18:49 local time in Amsterdam (CEST), the Full Moon reaches its peak as the Harvest Moon - a luminous lunation in the early degrees of Aries, opposite the Sun in Libra.

On August 12, 2026, at 19:36 local time in Amsterdam (CEST), the New Moon arrives as a powerful Total Solar Eclipse at approximately 20° Leo. This is no ordinary new beginning. A solar eclipse is a cosmic reset of extraordinary intensity - a moment when the light of the Sun is temporarily veiled by the Moon, creating a potent portal of transformation, revelation, and rebirth.
On July 14, 2026, at 11:43 local time in Amsterdam (CEST), the New Moon arrives at 21°59' Cancer - a deeply emotional, intuitive, and nurturing lunation that invites us to return home to ourselves. It weaves beautifully with several exceptionally rare and powerful alignments unfolding throughout July 2026.
On June 30, 2026, at 01:56 local time in Amsterdam (CEST), the Full Moon illuminates the sky as the Strawberry Moon - the second Full Moon of June, also known as a Blue Moon. This powerful lunation peaks at approximately 8° Capricorn, opposite the Sun in Cancer, activating the axis of emotional security (Cancer) and worldly achievement (Capricorn).
On May 1, 2026, at 19:23 local time in Amsterdam (CEST), the Full Moon rises as the Flower Moon - a vibrant celebration of spring’s abundant blooms.

On the Full Moon of February 1, 2026, at 23:09 Amsterdam time, the cosmos presents a powerful paradox: a Full Moon in the proud, heart-led sign of Leo, while five planets reside in the collective, forward-thinking sign of Aquarius. This isn't just a Full Moon; it's a celestial showdown between the individual and the tribe, the personal stage and the global community.
On January 3, 2026, the first full moon of the year rises as a luminous supermoon in the nurturing sign of Cancer. Known traditionally as the Wolf Moon - named for the primal howls echoing through midwinter nights by Native American and European folklore - this celestial event blends wild instinct with deep emotional warmth.
The New Moon in Sagittarius, occurring on December 20 2025 at 02:43 AM Amsterdam time, is a powerful astrological event that combines the fresh-start energy of a new moon with the expansive, optimistic, and truth-seeking nature of Sagittarius. This combination creates a potent time for setting intentions, embracing change, and seeking personal growth.
