The New Moon - Beginnings, Discoveries, Self-Knowledge

The New Moon means that one lunation cycle has ended and another begins. The conjunction of the Sun and the Moon is a period of new beginnings, new possibilities, creations, and achievements, making it a great time to plan or set projects in motion.

During this phase, the Sun and the Moon are together, their energies are in synergy, and they can bring excitement mixed with anticipation as renewal is on the horizon. As the Moon grows, our pace, ideas, and projects grow. Everything seems to progress through the connections we make.

At this moment, the Moon is not very visible. The energy of this phase is best utilized when aligned with our intentions for the near future, when we should embark on self-discovery with a focus on new beginnings, and when we visualize goals that will be validated later.

The feeling is that what happened before is now in the past. We reset what occurred in the previous cycle and are ready to turn the page. Thus, the New Moon is the perfect time to plant new seeds. Think about what you want for your near future and start working towards your desires. After all, we must earn all the good things we receive.

It is a very favorable time to start new projects, such as launching a business or opening a store. The energy of the New Moon is potent, and everything initiated during this phase has a great chance of success. It is a good time to plan or invest in a new job, strive to earn more money, plant the seeds of a new Love, or anything else you desire.

However, remember that the New Moon does not guarantee results. Its influence will undoubtedly help and provide a strong boost, but you must take action.

• The New Moon Inspires: Kindness in actions, positive affirmations, setting an example for others or looking to others as examples, discovering talents and desires.
• Keywords: Beginnings, discoveries, self-knowledge, intentions, hope, nurturing, leadership, guidance.
• Phase: Active
• The angle between the Sun and the Moon: from 0 to 45 degrees

New Moon - The First Lunar Phase

It is when the dark side of the Moon faces the Earth, while the Sun and the Moon come into conjunction. During this phase, the Moon forms an angle with the Sun that starts at zero and reaches up to 45 degrees by the end. Combining the Moon and the Sun generates a favorable energy for new things, even if only in the realm of ideas.

It is an active phase of the Moon, with direct energy. The choices are directed outward, encouraging beginnings, intentions, and self-discovery. Set a goal and focus on it, think about how to make it real, and find emotional satisfaction.

This moment should be used to make objectives clear and positive. It is essential to reflect on what has been accomplished throughout the lunar cycle, especially during the Moon’s receptive phases. It is recommended that 8 hours after the start of the New Moon, you begin to seriously think about what you want for the next month or the entire cycle completion, 6 months later, when there will be a Full Moon in the same sign but in the opposite house in your birth chart. Tracking the sign and astrological house where the New Moon falls in your chart is essential, as this will provide even more guidance to solidify your plans.

Also, remember that things do not always happen like magic. Many things that occur and seem insignificant take on meaning over time. The energies of the New Moon increase the chances of manifestation, but everything depends on you. It cannot perform miracles. If your goals do not materialize, there is no point in insisting too much. Leave this cycle reflecting on what went wrong. We cannot manipulate life or become obsessed with unfulfilled dreams. Overcome obstacles and keep doing your part. More balanced, pure, and well-intentioned desires tend to come true, as they have a greater chance of the Universe conspiring in their favor.
