The New Moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it invisible from our perspective. This phase marks the beginning of the lunar cycle and typically happens once a month, lasting for a brief moment before the Moon begins to wax and become visible again. During the New Moon, many cultures and traditions celebrate new beginnings and set intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle. It is often associated with astrology and is considered an ideal time for reflection, planning, and manifestation of goals.
