What does the New Moon do?

The New Moon is the most difficult phases of the Moon to observe because it’s too close to the Sun. Furthermore, the Moon’s visible side isn’t illuminated by the Sun during its orbit, so it becomes invisible once night falls. Afterwards, the Moon will appear as a tiny little crescent which will get bigger and bigger, day by day. 

The New Moon is the first lunar phase, when both the Sun and the Moon are at the same celestial longitude. During the phase of the New Moon, the lunar disk is invisible to the naked eye. The Moon affects are very important and impacting on the human body, our mental health and even women's menstrual cycles.

What happens on the day of a New Moon?

🌑 New Moon Lunar cycle fact: 🌑

The New Moon rises at sunrise, travels through the meridian at noon and sets at sunset.

How to lose weight with the Moon

The body deep-cleans itself during the New Moon, so to lose weight without a lot of effort, start a 3-day diet once the New Moon begins. This really works!

The New Moon and gardening

Vegetables are the most resistant when the Moon is in an ascending phase. This is the time to sow any seeds, plant, harvest, or do any grafting.

The Moon and your libido

If your relationship is on the brink of ending, the New Moon is the ideal time to initiate any new projects or surprise your partner. In short, this is the time to breathe a second wind or attempt a second try.

The New Moon’s effects on the human body

The New Moon, just like the Full Moon, exerts a strong gravitational pull on the elements, including the human body. Researchers believe that sleeping troubles are intensified during the time of a Full Moon and the New Moon. 

Certain star signs become more sensitive zodiac signs to the Moon’s phases than others are, so if you have some nights where you don’t get a wink when there’s a Full Moon or a New Moon, you may be lunar-sensitive.
