So, you know the New Moon is approaching once again, and you’re sure that the Universe holds a special message within the ebb and flow of the lunar cycles – but what is it?
Each lunar cycle lasts 28 days and within those 28 days the Moon waxes and wanes. The Moon holds a special message for us each day, and it may seem difficult to keep up with her ever-changing flow.
You may see suggestions for New Moon rituals online and on social media, but if you don’t know what the deal is with this Moon phase, they may seem silly. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “What does the New Moon even represent?” then this is the guide for you.
New Moon Overview
The Moon, like everything in life, follows a cyclical pattern.
Just as the start of Aries season marks the beginning of a new astrological year, the New Moon represents the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle. During this 28-day cycle, the Moon moves through each sign of the zodiac about once every 2-3 days. When the Moon is New, it is invisible to the naked eye, and it slowly grows to the Full Moon we see every month. And depending on the sign it’s in, each New Moon can hold a different meaning or message for those of us under its influence.
The New Moon and the Full Moon are the most important points of each lunar cycle, and they each represent different aspects of our lives. The Full Moon represents the end of a cycle, letting go, and dreams coming to fruition, while the New Moon represents new beginnings and manifestation.
What you manifest during the New Moon typically begins to make its way into your life during the following Full Moon. These points of the lunar cycle feed off of one another. The feelings and desires that you have around the New Moon influence the projects and accomplishments that manifest near the following Full Moon. The New Moon is the time to plant the seeds, while the Full Moon is the time to bring these desires to fruition.
Learning about the Moon’s cycles will help you use these energies to your advantage. When you understand the energy of each point of the lunar cycle, it will allow you to work with them, creating your own flow of manifestation and release.
Have you ever wanted to amplify your powers of manifestation? Increase your abundant vibrations and ability to attract fortune and chance encounters? The New Moon is the time to explore these avenues.

How Does the New Moon Affect Our Behavior?
The Moon’s energy controls the tides of the ocean, and it is so powerful that farmers have been planting by the Moon for hundreds of years. And you might be wondering how the energy of the New Moon affects you.
When the Moon is Full, the energy overflows, like the light itself that illuminates the sky. However, there is a literal and metaphorical darkness present with the New Moon. The sky is darker when the Moon is New because the Moon is not visible to the naked eye during this phase.
The New Moon, like any phase, has an effect on our mood. During this time, we may experience heavier moods or internal darkness. Our self-awareness is murkier than usual and it may seem difficult to connect with our external realities.
This darkness that the New Moon emits does not have to mean bad news, however. Sometimes this darkness causes us to turn within and spend time reflecting on the past cycle. We can use this time to discover our deeper desires and appreciate the introspective vibrations.
