2025 New Moons: Calendar of 12 new moon

The New Moon 2025 Calendar includes 12 new moons, solar eclipses, and solstices and, equinoxes upcoming during the year.

A new moon is the first lunar phase that happens about once a month or, 29.53 days on average. The moon itself is not visible though you may be able to “see” it because it blocks the visibility of the stars behind it.

In 2025 there will be 12 new moons with one full moon per month, and one black moon because summer will have an extra new moon. Ready to dive a little deeper into the 2025 dates? Take a look at each month, the names associated with each new moon, the eclipses that will occur, and the dates for the equinoxes and solstices.

Will there be a black moon in 2025?

Yes the August 2025 new moon will be a black moon because Summer will have four new moons. The third new moon in a season with four is considered a black moon by one of the definitions.

There are four potential definitions for a black moon, though all unofficial. As a result, it’s not rare to have a black moon in a year. It’s not possible to have all four in one year.

  • A month with two new moons
  • A month without a full moon, only a new moon
  • A month without a new moon, only a full moon
  • A season with four new moons, making the third a seasonal black moon

Because February has either 28 or 29 days, it’s the only calendar month that may not have both a new moon and a full moon in a given year.
