New moon is today You won't see the moon today, but it'll return to the evening sky and appear near bright planets, in the days ahead. Charts and info in this post. Sun enters Ophiuchus today The sun always passes in front of Ophiuchus from about November 29 to December 18. That's why some call Ophiuchus an unofficial member of the Zodiac.
