Eclipses 2026 Visible in Colombia

For astronomy enthusiasts, 2026 is an exciting year. Unlike other years when these phenomena occur in Europe or Asia, Colombia will have a front-row seat to two important lunar events.

1. Total Lunar Eclipse (March 3, 2026)

This will be the event of the year. During the early morning of March 3, the Earth will pass between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that will turn the satellite a blood-red color.

• Visibility in Colombia: Total.

• Start Time (Penumbral): Approx. 03:44 AM.

• Totality Phase: Approx. 06:04 AM (Just before dawn, the moon will appear red descending in the west).

2. Partial Lunar Eclipse (August 28, 2026)

In the second half of the year, we will have a visible partial eclipse. Part of the moon will appear to have been "bitten" by the Earth's shadow.

• Visibility in Colombia: Visible in most of the territory.

• Best time: Around midnight between August 27 and 28.

Lunar Calendar for Hair 2026

One of the most frequent searches in Colombia is when to cut your hair according to the moon . Here's the definitive guide for 2026 based on gravitational influence and biodynamic tradition.

For Fast and Strong Growth (Waxing Moon)

If you want your hair to grow fast ("Holy hand", as grandmothers say), you should cut the ends during the Waxing Crescent .

• Ideal dates: January 25-28, February 24-27, March 25-28, April 24-27, May 23-26.

For Abundance and Strong Roots (Full Moon)

If your hair is damaged, dry, or falling out a lot, cut it on the day of the Full Moon or the day after. This promotes regeneration.

• Ideal dates: January 3, February 1, March 3, April 2, May 1, June 30.

To Slow Growth (Waning Moon)

Ideal for those with short hair (pixie, men's cuts) who want to maintain the cut for longer, or for hair removal (hair will take longer to grow back).

• Ideal dates: The week following each Full Moon (See phase chart above).

When NOT to cut your hair? (New Moon)

Tradition dictates avoiding the New Moon . It's believed that hair is in a state of "rest" at this time, and cutting it can weaken the strand. Avoid the days marked as New Moon on your monthly calendar.

Lunar Calendar for Agriculture and Gardening 2026

Colombia is an agricultural country par excellence. Whether you have a large coffee plantation or a vegetable garden on your balcony in Bogotá or Medellín, these phases are vital:

Sowing during the Waxing Crescent

The sap rises to the branches and leaves.

• What to plant: Leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach), flowers, and plants that grow above ground.

Planting on a Full Moon

The sap is concentrated at the top, but begins to flow down towards the roots.

• What to do: Good time for transplanting. Also a good time to harvest fruit, as it will be juicier.

Sowing during the Waning Crescent

The sap flows down to the roots.

• What to plant: Tubers and roots (carrot, potato, cassava, beetroot).

• Maintenance: It's the best time to prune, fertilize the soil, and remove weeds.

Rest on the New Moon

It is the time of rest for the earth.

• What to do: Hill up the soil, remove dead leaves, and check for pests. Do not plant seeds today.

Influence of the Moon on Fishing (2026)

For fishermen in the Colombian Pacific and Caribbean, as well as in our rivers (Magdalena, Orinoco, Amazon), the moon dictates the tides and the behavior of the fish.

• Best fishing: This occurs during the New Moon and Full Moon , due to spring tides (greater water movement). The fish are more active feeding.

• Moderate fishing: During the waxing and waning quarters ("neap tides").
