New Moon

The New Moon is the start of the lunar cycle, when the Moon sits in the same place as the Sun and its lit face is turned away from us, leaving the sky dark.

The New Moon is the start of the lunar cycle, when the Moon sits in the same place as the Sun and its lit face is turned away from us, leaving the sky dark. It is the moment of beginning, when a seed is planted before anything can yet be seen. The New Moon carries the energy of fresh starts, new intentions, and instinctive action taken on faith rather than evidence. As current sky, a New Moon is a natural time to begin things, set intentions, and turn toward the future. The mood is inward and full of potential, a quiet reset before a new cycle of growth. As a birth phase, people born under a New Moon tend to be spontaneous, eager, and self-starting. They move on instinct and approach life with a fresh, sometimes impulsive outlook, projecting themselves into the world without always knowing where they are headed. The gift of the New Moon is initiative, and its work is to act on instinct while learning from the cycles that follow.
