A new moon occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and Sun and its lit side faces away from us. For a night or two the Moon seems to vanish from the sky.
In lunar tradition this is the reset point: the ideal moment to set intentions, start habits, begin projects and plan the month ahead while the sky is dark and quiet.

New Moon — Recommended today
- Write down one clear intention for the coming cycle.
- Start new habits — the growing Moon will “carry” them with you.
- Declutter one small area; empty space invites new beginnings.
- Schedule demanding work for the waxing weeks that follow.
- Rest more — energy is naturally at its monthly low.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see the new moon?
Not at the exact moment — the lit side faces away from Earth. A day or two later a thin crescent appears low in the evening sky.
When do solar eclipses happen?
Only at new moon, when the alignment is precise enough for the Moon to cast its shadow on Earth. Most new moons pass above or below the Sun, so eclipses are rare.
Is the new moon good for a haircut?
Tradition says no — wait for the waxing moon if you want faster regrowth, or for the full moon for strength.
