The dark moon — a blank page. The new moon is the start of the lunar cycle, the moment to plant seeds and set intentions.
The new moon is a time of new beginnings and intention-setting. With the moon dark, the sky is a clean slate — ideal for planning, wishing, and starting fresh.
At the new moon, the moon sits between Earth and Sun, its lit face turned away — invisible to us. Astrologically this dark sky is fertile emptiness: a moment to dream before you act.
It’s the traditional time to set intentions for the month ahead. Write down what you want to grow, speak it aloud, and let the waxing moon carry it forward.
Astrologically, a new moon happens when the Sun and Moon meet in the same sign (a conjunction). The two lights merge, seeding that sign's themes — which is why a new moon is the chart's reset button and the best moment to set an intention coloured by the sign it falls in.
The new moon carries the energy of "Begin · Intend", with keywords like beginnings, intention, potential. With the Moon about 0% lit, working with its rhythm — rather than against it — makes these days flow. Align your plans with the phase's tone and let the Moon set the pace.
A blank slate to name what you want to grow.
Rest and dream before you act.
Pure possibility waiting to be seeded.
A new moon is a fresh start in love — a moment to set a relationship intention, open to a new connection, or begin again with someone.
