When Is Chinese New Year 2025? Why Monday’s Rare ‘Black Moon’ Sets Up ‘Year Of The Snake’
When is CHinese New Year? The new moon on Monday, Dec. 30 will begin a countdown to the “Year of the … [+]
When is Chinese New Year? The new moon on Monday, Dec. 30 — the last of 2024 — is a rare black moon, according to Timeanddate. It will also begin a countdown to one of the year’s most culturally significant new moons, which will be precisely one lunation later on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
January’s new moon will signal the beginning of the Chinese Lunar New Year (also called Chinese New Year), the Year of the Snake. This 15-day celebration is based on the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar, which uses the moon’s phases and the Earth’s orbit around the sun.
Here’s everything you need to know about Chinese Lunar New Year 2025:
What Is The Chinese Lunar New Year?
Chinese Lunar New Year, also called Spring Festival, is one of the most significant celebrations in China and is observed by millions of people worldwide. This 15-day festival begins with the first New Moon of the lunar calendar and ends with the Lantern Festival on the Full Moon. Chinese New Year. It starts with the new moon between Jan. 21 and Feb. 20 each year.
A new moon occurs when the moon is roughly between the Earth and the sun, so it’s lost in our star’s glare from our point of view.
When Is The Chinese Lunar New Year In 2025?
In 2025, the Chinese Lunar New Year begins on Wednesday, Jan. 29, and lasts until the Lantern Festival on Wednesday, Feb. 12, with the rising of the full moon — this year called the “Snow Moon.”
What Is The Chinese Lunar New Year Animal In 2025?
2025 sees the beginning of the “Year of the Wood Snake,” which will continue until Feb. 16, 2026, when the “Year of the Horse” begins.
The Chinese zodiac features a 12-year cycle of animals. Each zodiac year also incorporates one of five elements—wood, fire, Earth, metal, or water—creating a 60-year cycle. So, while the animal repeats every 12 years, the animal and the element together repeat only every 60 years. For example, the last “Year of the Wood Snake” was in 1965.
What Is A ‘Black Moon?’
A black moon is a quirk of the calendar. The term is typically and most commonly applied to the second of two new moons in the same month. It’s rare but inevitable because there’s a new moon every 29.5 days. So if there’s a new moon on the first day or two of a month, there’s a good chance that there will be another at the end of the month — a monthly black moon. Western regions of North America had a black moon in November, but for most of the world, December 2024 had two new moons on Dec. 1 and 30.
Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.
Chinese New Year in 2025 will fall on Wednesday, February 12th. This special day marks the beginning of the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac.However, what makes this particular Chinese New Year even more unique is the rare ‘Black Moon’ that will occur just two days before on Monday, February 10th. A ‘Black Moon’ is the second new moon in a calendar month, and it is considered a powerful time for setting intentions and starting anew.
The alignment of the ‘Black Moon’ and Chinese New Year sets the stage for a year of transformation, shedding old skin and embracing new beginnings. The Year of the Snake is associated with wisdom, intuition, and transformation, making it the perfect time to shed old habits and embrace growth.
So mark your calendars for February 12th, 2025, and get ready to embrace the Year of the Snake with open arms. It’s sure to be a year full of exciting opportunities and personal growth.

The rare ‘black moon’ of December 30 rises next week
December 2024 will see a rare “black moon,” a term for the second new moon in a calendar month.
The second new moon of December will occur at 5:27 p.m. ET (2227 GMT) on Dec. 30, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory, two days after the waning moon passes by Mercury in the predawn sky.
A second new moon is sometimes called a “black moon,” just as two full moons in a month is sometimes called a “blue moon” — though neither is a true astronomical term.
New moons happen when the sun and the moon share the same celestial longitude, a position also called conjunction. You can’t see the moon during this phase from Earth because the illuminated side is facing away from us; only during solar eclipses do new moons make themselves visible.
New moon nights are a boon to astronomers both professional and amateur; the lack of a bright moon means that fainter objects are easier to see in the sky. This can be especially true in the winter in much of North America when in addition to having no interference from the moon, the air tends to be drier and offer better seeing through telescopes.
A Mercury conjunction
On Dec. 28 at 11:24 p.m. Eastern Time, the moon will be in conjunction with Mercury; the two will appear about 6 degrees apart. The event itself won’t be visible from the United States. However, in New York City Mercury will rise at 5:38 a.m. on Dec. 28, and the sun follows at 6:48 a.m. The moon, meanwhile, rises at 5:26 a.m. If one looks towards the eastern horizon by 6:15 a.m. one can spot Mercury and the moon, both about 6 degrees high; the moon will be a thin crescent and to the right of Mercury. The closeness to the horizon makes spotting the two a challenge, but one can use the moon to orient.
To see the conjunction one must go eastward; in Cairo, for example, the conjunction is at 6:24 a.m. local time on Dec. 29, according to In-the-sky.org. Sunrise is at 6:50 a.m. but Mercury rises at 5:13 a.m. and the moon at 5:33 a.m. At the time of conjunction (6:24 a.m.) the moon is 8 degrees high in the southeast and Mercury is at 13 degrees.
From Cape Town, the viewing is little better because the austral summer means that the sun rises earlier, at 5:36 a.m., so the conjunction happens after sunrise. Mercury rises there at 4:12 a.m. local time and the moon at 3:48 a.m. The pair will be about 10 degrees high by 5:00 a.m. with the moon above and to the right of Mercury.
Visible Planets
On the night of the new moon itself, Mercury will be just visible in the dawn skies on Dec. 31, rising at 5:45 a.m. in New York. Sunrise isn’t until 7:20 a.m. By 6:45 a,m. Mercury will be about 9 degrees high in the southeast – difficult to see but not impossible with a flat horizon and clear conditions.
In the evening, by about 6 p.m., Venus and Saturn will be in the southwestern sky, at 22 degrees and 35 degrees respectively. In New York Venus sets at 8:27 p.m. and Saturn at 9:57 p.m. Jupiter, meanwhile, is in the east about halfway to the zenith from the horizon at 43 degrees; the planet will be situated to the left of Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus and the contrast between the two – Aldebaran is much redder than Jupiter – makes them easy to spot. Jupiter sets on Dec. 31 at 5:26 a.m. Mars rises at 6:07 p.m. and by 8 p.m. is 20 degrees above the eastern horizon; it is visible until sunrise.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the days are long – at the latitude of Buenos Aires the sky doesn’t get dark until about 9 p.m. (sunset there on Dec. 30 is at 8:09 p.m.) and sunrise is early; at 5:43 a.m. a.m. in Buenos Aires. In the predawn hours of Dec. 31 Mercury rises at 4:18 a.m., and as in the Northern Hemisphere is only about 7 degrees high by 5 a.m.
On Dec. 30, as in the Northern Hemisphere, one will see Venus and Saturn in the west, with Venus closer to the horizon and Saturn above and to the right (northwards). In Buenos Aires Venus sets at 10:54 p.m., Saturn at 11:44 p.m. Turning northeast one will see Jupiter; from mid-southern latitudes the planet appears to be below Aldebaran; Jupiter sets at 4:00 a.m. Dec. 31. In Buenos Aires Mars rises at 9:42 p.m. and takes some time to get high enough to see easily; by 11:30 p.m. the red planet is only 18 degrees high in the northeast.
Stars and constellations
Winter constellations are in full swing for Northern Hemisphere observers in January. By about 6 p.m. Orion, the Hunter, is just above the Eastern horizon, and one can watch its stars appear as the sky darkens. Orion faces Taurus, which early in the evening is above the Hunter (the constellation is actually to the west and north). One can see the Hyades, a cluster of bright stars that is the “face” of the bull.
Looking left, above Orion’s head, one sees Auriga, the Charioteer. To find it, look for Orion’s Belt, then for Betelgeuse, the Hunter’s right shoulder (his left from the perspective of a ground-based observer). Betelgeuse is recognizable as it is visibly reddish-orange.
Looking almost straight upwards from Betelgeuse one will see Aldebaran, another orange-colored star that will be to the right of Jupiter, which will be slightly brighter and emit a steady light; if you can see stars twinkle you will notice that Jupiter does not; marking it as a planet. Draw a line straight from Aldebaran through Jupiter and you will reach the middle of Auriga, eventually hitting a fainter star called Menkalinan, or Beta Aurigae. Above Menkalinan is Capella, noticeably brighter and yellowish white.
By about 9 p.m. on Dec. 30, Canis Major and Canis Minor, the “hunting dogs” of Orion, have both cleared the horizon and are in the southeast. Canis Major is below Orion (to its south and east) while Canis Minor is to the east (on Orion’s right, the observer’s left). Canis Major, the Big Dog, contains Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Looking left and above Sirius one will see Procyon, the brightest star in the Little Dog. Procyon, Sirius and Betelgeuse in Orion form the Winter Triangle asterism that is easy to see even from light-polluted locations in cities and suburbs.
By 11 p.m. Leo the Lion has fully risen; one can spot it by looking for Sirius which by that point is in the south-southeast. Turn to the left (eastwards) and upwards; one will see Procyon. Continue left from Procyon and downwards slightly until one is facing nearly due east; one should be able to see Regulus, or Alpha Leonis, also called Cor Leonis, the Heart of the Lion. Regulus is at the bottom of a sickle-shaped group of stars that is Leo’s head and mane. Look towards the horizon and to the left and one encounters Denebola, the Lion’s tail. By this time of night Orion is fully “upright” with the Belt stars making a line from east to west angled slightly upwards; it’s much easier to see the shape that forms Orion’s shoulders and legs. To the right and below the Belt is a bright blue-white star; that’s Rigel, the foot of Orion.
If local city lights are not too bright one can spot a fainter star just above and to the right of Rigel; this is the start of Eridanus, the River, and the star is called Cursa or Beta Eridani, as it is the second-brightest star in the constellation. Eridanus’ brightest star, Achernar, isn’t visible at all north of 33 degrees latitude. In the continental U.S. that means one must be in one of the states along the Gulf Coast, the southern half of Arizona or New Mexico, or San Diego.
For Southern Hemisphere observers, January is when Puppis, Carina and Vela, the three constellations that make up the ship (connected to the Argo, the famous ship of Jason and the Argonauts) are prominent, rising in the southeast as the sky gets dark. As it is the austral summer the sky takes until about 9 p.m. to get fully dark (in Buenos Aires civil twilight ends at 8:38 p.m.) At that point in the northeastern sky one would see an “upside down” Orion, with the Belt stars above Betelgeuse, which is below the Belt and to the right.
Rigel, meanwhile, is upwards and to the left, and this time when one follows the River from Cursa, one goes across the sky through the zenith to a point a full 64 degrees high in the southeast, to Achernar. If one uses Betelgeuse and Sirius as “pointers” one can draw a line between them southwards (this will be to the right) and above that line is the bright Canopus, the brightest star in Carina, the Ship’s Keel, about 47 degrees high in the southeast. Between Canopus and Sirius is a group of seven fainter stars that forms a long shape something like a foot; that’s Puppis, the Poop Deck. Look just south (to the right) and one can see the ring-shaped group of stars that is Vela, the Sail.
Turning a bit further south – it will be to the right – one can see Crux, the Southern Cross, which covers an area between 6 and 12 degrees high in the south-southeast. From the latitude of Buenos Aires Crux never sets; at this point it is rising from its low point just above the southern horizon.
