The Moon catches up with the Sun at 5°39′ Sagittarius on 28 November 2027, 03:26 UTC. Both bodies stand at the same degree, which is what a new moon is: the Moon is between us and the Sun, its lit face turned away, invisible from the ground.
Traditionally this is the start of a cycle rather than the end of one — the point at which something is begun quietly and without much evidence it will work. The fire quality of Sagittarius colours what is being started: something is being risked rather than planned, and the impulse arrives before the reasoning does.
Because Sagittarius is mutable, the cycle it opens tends to change shape several times before settling into whatever it was actually for.
Times are UTC, computed from the ephemeris rather than transcribed. Positions are geocentric and tropical.
