What is a lunar calendar?
A lunar calendar tracks the moon's 29.5-day cycle through its 8 phases — new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. Unlike the Gregorian solar calendar, lunar months drift roughly one day earlier each month relative to the calendar, which is why the same moon phase falls on different calendar dates each year.

The next new moon in 2026 falls on September 11, 2026. During a new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun and is not visible from Earth — it rises and sets roughly with the sun.
