On March 29, skywatchers across parts of the Northern Hemisphere will be treated to a rare astronomical double feature: a supermoon arriving during the Moon’s new phase, coinciding with a partial solar eclipse known for producing the striking “devil horns” effect in the sky.

The Moon will reach perigee, which is the point in its elliptical orbit where it is closest to Earth, on Saturday, March 29.

On Saturday, March 29, 2025, we will experience a partial solar eclipse in the fire-forward, progress-at-all-costs sign of Aries. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on our planet that either totally or partially blocks the sun’s light.
