What is a New Moon?
At New Moon the Moon sits between the Earth and the Sun and turns its unlit side towards us. You can't see it in the sky: it disappears in the Sun's glare, and the first thin crescent shows up low in the west in the evening only a day or two later. In astrology it's the conjunction of the Sun and the Moon in the same sign, and so the start of a new lunar cycle. Will and feeling pull in the same direction, which makes it the best moment to sow whatever you want to see grow by the Full Moon.
On average 29 and a half days pass from one New Moon to the next, and each one falls in a different sign, so over a year the Moon carries its fresh starts through the whole zodiac. A January New Moon favors different plans from a July one. If you notice which sign a cycle opens in, you know what to focus on for the next four weeks.
How to write your intentions
All you need is paper, a pen and a quiet quarter of an hour on the evening of the New Moon or the day after. Write three to five sentences in the present tense, as if they were already happening: "I walk for ten minutes every morning." "My CV is finished by the end of the month." Stick to things you can influence yourself, and next to each one note a first step for tomorrow. Tuck the paper into your diary and come back to it at the Full Moon. What didn't work out may not be a mistake, just a matter of timing.
What to start, by element
A New Moon takes on the color of the sign it falls in. In the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) it favors courage: signing up for a course, taking up a sport, speaking up for yourself. In the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) it's good for budgets, meal plans, the garden and work habits. In the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) start conversations, studies, writing and new friendships. And in the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) it pays to start with yourself: ring the family, keep a dream diary, make time to rest. Which sign the Moon is in right now is shown in the lunar calendar.
The dark Moon
The two or three days before the New Moon, when only a thin line of crescent is left or nothing at all, are called the dark Moon. Energy tends to run low, people feel tired and find it harder to concentrate. These days don't suit big launches; they're better for tidying, catching up on sleep and finishing small jobs. Throw out what you don't need, settle what you owe and close the emails left hanging, so you enter the new cycle with a clear desk. If nothing seems to move, never mind: the field is just waiting to be sown.
When a New Moon falls close to one of the nodes of the Moon's orbit, the Moon covers the Sun and there's a solar eclipse. The other peak of the cycle, when the Moon shines all night, is described on the page about Full Moons.
