The new moon occurs when the Moon and Sun align at the same ecliptic longitude, making the Moon invisible from Earth. It marks the start of a new lunar cycle. In astrological tradition, new moons are considered the most favourable time to begin new projects, set intentions, or make fresh starts.
Each new moon occurs in a specific zodiac sign, which colours the nature of the new beginning. A new moon in Taurus, for example, favours practical new starts around finances and stability, while a new moon in Sagittarius supports fresh beginnings in exploration, study, and long-distance travel.
New moons occur roughly every 29.5 days, cycling through all twelve signs of the zodiac over the course of a year. Occasionally there are two new moons in a single calendar month — the second is sometimes called a black moon.
