August 2026 has one full Moon (August 28, UTC) and one new Moon (August 12). This page lists every phase, eclipse and solstice with times in your own time zone, and the Moon's sidereal and tropical sign and nakshatra for each day.
Phase, eclipse and solstice times are exact instants. Sidereal signs use the Lahiri ayanamsa; tropical signs start at the March equinox. Both are conventions for dividing the ecliptic, not observations of constellations.
