August 2026 Moon Phase Calendar

Entities: Moon · Thailand · August 2026 · Spain · NASA

Overview

A lunar calendar released at the end of July 2026 lists the Moon’s phases for August—waning quarter on 5 August, new Moon on 12 August, waxing quarter on 19 August and full Moon on 27 August—and pairs them with beauty‑treatment recommendations, advising hair‑cutting during the waxing period to encourage growth.

Two days later, NASA’s Daily Moon Guide notes that on 1 August the Moon is in a waning‑gibbous phase, showing about 93 % illumination and highlighting visible lunar features such as Mare Tranquillitatis and the Apollo 14 landing site. The guide also confirms the next full Moon will occur on 28 August, aligning with the calendar’s schedule.

Together, the snapshots illustrate how the August 2026 lunar cycle is being presented both for cultural/astrological practices and for scientific observation.
