New Moons represent new beginnings and present a powerful time to set intentions for the lunar cycle ahead so that we may manifest our deepest desires. When the moon is in it’s new phase it is in the exact same zodiac sign as the Sun is residing in. The Moon represents our inner selves and our feelings and the Sun represents our outwards selves and how we display ourselves to others. A new moon phase therefore has an effect on our whole selves as we feel the zodiac sign’s energy more intensely.  This is why it’s great to harness this new moon energy to help us live the lives we want to create through setting some intentions and goals.
