It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
Any degree of solar eclipse can only occur within a few hours of the instant of New Moon.
Solar eclipses happen during NEW moons, when the Moon blocks the light of the Sun. Lunar eclipses happen during FULL moons, when the Earth blocks the light of the Sun.
It should be obvious after considering for a moment the moon's orbit around the earth that a solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon.
