August-November 2026 Moon Phases: Cultural and Scientific

Overview

The August to November 2026 lunar cycle involves various astronomical transitions and astrological observations. Following the waxing phases in late October, the Moon reached a waxing gibbous stage with 90% to 95% illumination around 23 October. During this time, a “moon void of course” (Lua fora de curso) was noted in Brasília until 16:54, a period associated with “lower predictability for new initiatives.” Astrologer Aysun Koç noted that the Full Moon expected around 25 or 26 October would particularly impact Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius, potentially bringing back “unfinished business or former romantic interests.” Koç advised caution regarding attractive offers and suggested delaying major decisions until after 15 November. As the cycle transitioned into late October, the waning moon was presented as a symbolic period for reflection. Astronomically, the Moon was expected to reach its Last Quarter phase on 1 November. Between 28 and 29 October, the Moon entered the Waning Gibbous phase, with illumination decreasing from approximately 95% to 87%. During this period, features such as the Tycho Crater, Copernicus Crater, and Mare Imbrium were visible to observers. Looking toward early November, astrologer Sophie Hérolt-Petitpas noted that a New Moon in Scorpio could cause significant shifts in personal and professional dynamics. By 5 November, the Moon entered a Waning Crescent phase with illumination between 13% and 17%, offering views of features like the Aristarchus Plateau and the Grimaldi Basin. By 7 November, illumination dropped to approximately 4%, with the Grimaldi Basin potentially being the only visible feature through binoculars or a telescope. The next Full Moon is expected on 24 November. Astronomical activity continues in November with several meteor showers. The Southern Taurids are expected to peak around 4 to 5 November, followed by the Northern Taurids around 11 to 12 November, both known for producing bright fireballs.
