The Dates, Effects, And Powerful Symbolism Of The New Moon

What is the New Moon, and what does it actually do?

From an astronomical point of view, the New Moon occurs when the Moon finds itself in between the Earth and the Sun, meaning it's impossible to observe in the sky because the illuminated side shines away from us. During this stage, the Sun, and the Moon are next to each other, on the same degree of the zodiac, forming a Sun conjunct Moon composition.

This monthly cycle has huge impacts that we must pay attention to, especially with regard to our moods and bodies. Indeed, it symbolizes a second chance and blesses you with a clean slate. That's why it's the perfect time to meditate, plan and organize your next steps towards success. In short, its purifying energy helps you in your reflection and analysis.

Despite this dimly lit phase, we know that the sky hasn't been abandoned and that the Moon will appear again. The absence of light during this phase can be destabilizing, although, if you embrace the darkness, you'll soon understand that it can be a doorway to any possibility and the energy contained in your intentions will soon manifest. 

Indeed, the New Moon marks the point at which we turn over a new leaf and is the ideal time to start new things or initiate new projects. During this period, we are encouraged to sow our seeds, so, if you’re planning for a baby, it's worth knowing that the New Moon is the ideal period for conceiving a child.

The most important planetary configuration during the New Moon in Cancer cycle;

• On June 29, the New Moon in Cancer square to Jupiter (itself well-connected to Venus) makes you want to do yourself good, even if it means thinking only about pleasure. This New Moon cycle allows us to start on a healthy basis. Once we are well-balanced internally, we will be able to face the Mars-Pluto square of July 1 with serenity, here we will be greeted with conflicts and tension, but will need to refrain from stirring up the electric atmosphere. By remaining cool, we will discover our own truth and be able to focus on our intense desires. We will then be able to feel more confident and stronger in all circumstances or in the face of destabilizing news...
  

Which zodiac signs will benefit most from this phase? Here's your mini horoscope

• Aries: This is a time to think about yourself a little. Family obligations sometimes make you lose your bearings. Take a break, and think about the changes you need to make...
• Taurus: Stop running around in your various activities. Take a deep breath, smell the scent of summer, and enjoy some suspended time!  
• Gemini: Be aware of what you have, of your achievements, of what you possess, of your wealth, not necessarily material... and enjoy it without focusing on the lacks!
• Cancer: Take care of yourself, nourish yourself with good moments and good things. Then listen to your intuition to defend yourself in case of external attacks.
• Leo: Get to know yourself, enjoy your interior, your home, and write down, if need be, the changes you want to make privately during this new 6-month cycle...
• Virgo: This is the time to contact your close friends to tell them how much you care about them and how important it is to help each other. Share moments, but let them organize this time!
• Libra: Your intuition and your imagination serve you well in your activities at work. Take advantage of this to set up creative projects that bring you pleasure above all!
• Scorpio: Don't hesitate to get away from it all. There's no need to go far away: to the countryside if you live in the city, a new outing if you live in the country... Nourish yourself with new atmospheres. Listen to what this produces in you!
• Sagittarius: Take care of yourself, be very gentle with yourself, you need to repair some things, maybe a wound of self-love? This is the time!
• Capricorn: Try to devote some time to your relationship, without making any necessary plans.
• Aquarius: You really need to refocus on yourself. Perhaps you have been spreading yourself too thin lately with various knowledge. Meditate, listen to your inner voice!

It embodies the essence of a new beginning, or searching, pausing, preparing, and planning processes that set our plans in motion.

That's right, the New Moon encourages us to think and prepare before taking action.

How does it impact our sleep patterns?

Exerts believe that this phenomenon has a strong gravitational pull on the elements, including the human body. Researchers believe that sleeping troubles intensify at this point. As for the most sensitive zodiac signs, they are often impacted more than others and will struggle to get the full 8 hours of required sleep because they are more lunar-sensitive.
