Working with the new moon
At the new moon the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun and disappears from view for a night or two. It is the traditional beginning of the lunar month, and a natural moment to choose one or two intentions for the cycle ahead. You don't need to wait for the exact minute: the day of the new moon and the day after are both good. See our beginner new moon ritual, or try the New Moon Intentions tarot spread.
