After having passed the last quarter phase yesterday, the Moon today faces the second half of its waning phase. This stage will culminate with the new Moon, next Sunday, September 21, when our satellite aligns with the Earth and the Sun in the sign of Virgo, remaining hidden from view.

It will be the second new moon in Virgo this year! The first took place on August 23 in the 0th degree of Virgo. And it won’t be just any new Moon, as it will bring us the fourth and last of the eclipses of 2025.

In the privileged places where the eclipse is visible, the Moon will break the habit of hiding in this lunar phase and will reveal its silhouette to us by moving in front of the Sun and partially hiding it, as if taking a bite.
