Next New Moon in 2022: December 2022
The New Moon 2022 Calendar has 13 new moons along with solstices, equinoxes, and solar eclipses to help you keep track of the upcoming dates.
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.
The next new moon in 2022 will be the new moon in Capricorn on Wednesday December 23, 2022 5:17 AM ET or 10:17 AM UTC. The December New Moon will be the 13th and last new moon of the year. Another name for the December 23rd new moon is the New Wolf Moon as it is the beginning of the lunar cycle for the January Full Moon. The December 2022 new moon will be the first new moon of the Winter 2022-2023 season.
After December, the new moons resume in 2023.
