    New Moon, Thursday, May 6, 2027

    Thu, May 6 to Sat, May 8

    Block 64.9. Among the strongest windows this year for this path.

    Reading and full breakdown

    The first night, Thursday, May 6, 2027, opens best between 7:50 pm and 8:10 pm (around 7:58 pm), scoring 63.5 of 100.

    In its favour: Moon exalted in Taurus; Jupiter angular, in the 10th house; MC = Sun/Moon (0.04°): body, mind and soul in harmony.

    Against it: Mars angular, in the 10th house; Concentrated dial (3 contacts, horizon median 1).

    After opening, the Moon's next exact aspect is a conjunction to Mercury at 10:35 pm on Thu, May 6.

    The Moon changes sign at 5:06 am; the opening is chosen before she goes void.

    The second and third nights open best around 10:53 pm (67.9) and 8:50 pm (64.5).

    Neptune is active: the same sky can open imagination and devotion, or blur boundaries and judgment. It asks for grounding and discernment, not more merging.

    The New Moon path is the Temple's own practice of hidden, inward work. Dorotheus permitted the darkened Moon for hidden rites, and preferred the Moon just emerging from the Sun's rays.

    Cast for Utah (40.5°N, 111.4°W), tropical zodiac, whole sign houses. The lunation falls at 15°42′ Taurus.

    Mon, Mar 8 to Wed, Mar 10

    Block 55.3. A good window for this path. Within 5 points of the window above: treat them as equivalent.

    Reading and full breakdown

    The first night, Monday, March 8, 2027, opens best between 10:33 pm and 11:00 pm (around 10:37 pm), scoring 49.3 of 100.

    In its favour: Ascendant ruler angular (10th house); Moon increasing in light; Mars applying to Jupiter.

    Against it: Moon void of course (softened in her sign, per Lilly); Mars angular, in the 10th house.

    The Moon is void of course through the whole opening range that night, so the score carries that penalty.

    The second and third nights open best around 7:30 pm (63) and 7:38 pm (59.7).

    Neptune is active: the same sky can open imagination and devotion, or blur boundaries and judgment. It asks for grounding and discernment, not more merging.

    The New Moon path is the Temple's own practice of hidden, inward work. Dorotheus permitted the darkened Moon for hidden rites, and preferred the Moon just emerging from the Sun's rays.

    Cast for Utah (40.5°N, 111.4°W), tropical zodiac, whole sign houses. The lunation falls at 17°34′ Pisces.

    Reading and full breakdown

    The first night, Thursday, October 8, 2026, opens best between 9:02 pm and 10:05 pm (around 9:02 pm), scoring 43 of 100.

    In its favour: Moon angular, in the 4th house; Moon swift; Hour of Jupiter.

    Against it: Moon void of course; Ascendant ruler in the 6th house.

    The Moon is void of course through the whole opening range that night, so the score carries that penalty.

    The second and third nights open best around 10:45 pm (41.7) and 10:49 pm (34.2).

    Neptune is active: the same sky can open imagination and devotion, or blur boundaries and judgment. It asks for grounding and discernment, not more merging.

    The New Moon path is the Temple's own practice of hidden, inward work. Dorotheus permitted the darkened Moon for hidden rites, and preferred the Moon just emerging from the Sun's rays.

    Block 47.5. A quieter window for this path.

    Reading and full breakdown

    The first night, Wednesday, December 9, 2026, opens best between 8:18 pm and 9:53 pm (around 8:18 pm), scoring 54 of 100.

    In its favour: Moon's next application: sextile Venus; Moon emerging from the beams, the first crescent; Jupiter angular, in the 1st house.

    Against it: Moon slow (under 12° a day); Moon in detriment in Capricorn.

    After opening, the Moon's next exact aspect is a sextile to Venus at 4:49 am on Thu, Dec 10.

    The second and third nights open best around 8:02 pm (41) and 7:58 pm (41).

    Neptune is active: the same sky can open imagination and devotion, or blur boundaries and judgment. It asks for grounding and discernment, not more merging.

    The New Moon path is the Temple's own practice of hidden, inward work. Dorotheus permitted the darkened Moon for hidden rites, and preferred the Moon just emerging from the Sun's rays.

    Cast for Utah (40.5°N, 111.4°W), tropical zodiac, whole sign houses. The lunation falls at 16°56′ Sagittarius.

    Reading and full breakdown

    The first night, Friday, June 4, 2027, opens best between 7:30 pm and 8:54 pm (around 7:42 pm), scoring 62.7 of 100.

    In its favour: Moon's next application: sextile Jupiter; Moon angular, in the 7th house; Sagittarius rising, a sign of Jupiter.

    Against it: Mars angular, in the 10th house; Moon separating from the Sun, still under the beams (halved: the hidden-rite exception).

    After opening, the Moon's next exact aspect is a sextile to Jupiter at 1:05 am on Sat, Jun 5.

    The second and third nights open best around 9:57 pm (64) and 10:25 pm (56).

    The New Moon path is the Temple's own practice of hidden, inward work. Dorotheus permitted the darkened Moon for hidden rites, and preferred the Moon just emerging from the Sun's rays.

The eclipse track

A deliberate calendar decision, never an accident of scoring. Held as witnessing ceremonies. Scored with the eclipse and node factors switched off, and compared only with each other.

  1. New Moon, Saturday, February 6, 2027, eclipse ceremony

    Fri, Feb 5 to Sun, Feb 7

    Block 49.8. Eclipse ceremony: a witnessing rite, ranked on its own track.

    Reading and full breakdown

    The first night, Friday, February 5, 2027, opens best between 9:22 pm and 11:00 pm (around 10:25 pm), scoring 50 of 100.

    In its favour: Ascendant ruler angular (4th house); Venus angular, in the 4th house; Hour of the Moon.

    Against it: Moon slow (under 12° a day); Saturn angular, in the 7th house.

    After opening, the Moon's next exact aspect is a conjunction to Sun at 8:56 am on Sat, Feb 6.

    The second and third nights open best around 9:18 pm (46) and 8:10 pm (53).

    This block falls in an eclipse window, so the Temple holds it as a witnessing ceremony, not an intention-setting one. The tradition counts eclipses as charged times, unfit for ordinary beginnings and fit for intensified devotion.

    The New Moon path is the Temple's own practice of hidden, inward work. Dorotheus permitted the darkened Moon for hidden rites, and preferred the Moon just emerging from the Sun's rays.

    Cast for Utah (40.5°N, 111.4°W), tropical zodiac, whole sign houses. The lunation falls at 17°37′ Aquarius.

    The sky shows weather, not fate.

About these numbers

The rules come from Dorotheus, Bonatti, Lilly, Ramesey and Robson, and from Ebertin's cosmobiology for the dial. The point values are the Temple's own and are meant to be tuned against an astrologer's hand ranking. Positions come from JPL's DE440 ephemeris, accurate to well under a minute of time. Houses are whole sign; the zodiac is tropical; the place is Utah, 40.5°N, 111.4°W.

Astrology is a symbolic, reflective framework, not a validated predictor. These readings describe the sky; they do not replace screening, medical advice or anyone's own judgment. Written readings are composed by Claude from the computed facts only; nothing about any person is sent. See the private chart page for personal readings, which stay in your browser.
