New Moon

The New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon conjoin at the same degree of the zodiac, marking the start of a new lunation cycle. The sky is dark, symbolizing a blank slate and the potential for new beginnings. In natal astrology, being born near a New Moon indicates a personality oriented toward initiation and fresh starts, someone who leads with instinct rather than reflection. For monthly planning, New Moons are ideal for setting intentions, beginning projects, and planting metaphorical seeds.
