March 2027 Moon Phase Calendar

Updated · Daily moon data sampled at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (UTC shown where relevant)

The daily phase and illumination below are sampled at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Principal phases are exact astronomical instants. Moonrise is for New York City and may occur on a different local date elsewhere.

August 2026 Moon Phase Calendar — 13-month

Gregorian dates: August 13, 2026 – September 9, 2026.

Switching keeps the reference date, September 1, 2026. Weekday headings follow the fixed calendar, not Gregorian weekdays. Each month has four complete weeks; Sol sits between June and July. The detail tables below keep their stated Gregorian date ranges.

Daily phase names group the cycle into eight broad phase sectors, using progress between exact astronomical events. They describe the 8 p.m. Eastern sample, not the instant of a new moon, quarter moon, or full moon. The tables list those exact principal-phase instants separately.

“No moonrise” means no rise occurs during that midnight-to-midnight Eastern calendar date at the New York City observer location; it does not mean the moon never rises.
