The New Moon Phase occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. During this time, the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making it nearly invisible to our eyes. This phase marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, which lasts about 29.5 days. Many cultures celebrate the New Moon as a time for new beginnings and fresh starts. It’s often associated with setting intentions and making plans. Some people even use this phase to engage in rituals or activities that promote personal growth and reflection, connecting with the energy of the Moon.
