Definition of the New Moon: The cycle of the Moon lasts about 29 days, starting with the New Moon. We see the Moon grow into the Full Moon. Then it shrinks until the next New Moon.During the New Moon, the star of the night is invisible, hidden in the Earth's shadow. It is not observable since it is totally dark. The New Moon is a sign of a new beginning, a moment in life when we start something, such as a project, or even a child, often unconsciously. It is the time of the month when we are most likely to succeed in our goals.The New Moon is about relationships. It gives great vitality, impulsiveness, and sensitivity.People born during a New Moon have considerable energy, a bursting impulse, but this conjunction of lights causes confusion and subjectivity induced by an exacerbated sensitivity.

August 23rd: New Moon in Virgo
New Moon Ritual: At the time of the new moon, an energy of renewal takes place. Sit in a quiet place and be relaxed: choose a clear intention, start your request with thank you and write your wish as if it had already been fulfilled. Discover our article for Abundance Check.
During this period, sensitivity is overshadowed by reason. Displays of affection are restrained, and there is a focus on performing well in tasks that require attention to detail, critical thinking, and concentration. Although the atmosphere is somewhat cerebral, the outcomes are highly effective.
Unfortunately, the Sun and Moon duo in Virgo is in conflict with Uranus, which has just entered Gemini. This alignment can lead to increased stress and nervous tension. Behaviors and reactions may be unusual or unpredictable, potentially causing family issues due to impulsive reactions and mood swings that are hard to manage.
Mars supports Mercury, fostering motivation in a dynamic environment to perform at our best. However, it is also challenged by a square with Jupiter, which tends to amplify everything. This results in a frenetic energy where we expend a lot of effort without necessarily reaping significant rewards. We must organize ourselves well and channel our energy to ensure our actions are productive. Avoid setting ambitions beyond our means. Additionally, Mars is in conflict with Saturn and Neptune, risking the squandering of our willpower in tensions that divert us from our goals. We are prone to distractions and clumsiness, making it a poor time for risky endeavors or forming new partnerships. It’s better to stick to routine, even if it’s not particularly exciting.
Venus, nearing the end of its journey through Cancer, remains very romantic, especially under the influence of a trine from Neptune. However, it is also realistic because Saturn ensures that fantasies do not overshadow our emotional reality. Our emotional control improves, making our affections more peaceful, stable, and profound. The relationship between finances and domestic life is excellent. Nonetheless, Pluto opposing Venus suggests difficulties in expressing feelings. Passions are intense, but inhibitions may block emotional communication, hindering our ability to thrive sentimentally. If we resist necessary changes to regain harmony, our relationships cannot progress without proactive efforts.
The overall backdrop remains very positive, with harmonious interactions among the major planets. This harmony likely paves the way for a new, calmer, and more just society focused on human well-being. We can hope for gentler powers and a more fulfilling existence.
July 24: New Moon in Leo
This new moon enhances our magnetism and brings energy useful for making important decisions. Everything related to performance and presentation is favored. It’s a great time to network with influential people, host a reception, showcase your creations, or treat yourself to some jewelry. As the Moon joins the Sun at the first degree of Leo, it forms a beautiful aspect with Saturn and Neptune but opposes Pluto. Our emotions are vibrant but can be controlled and mastered (if we choose). We are encouraged to analyze our behavior to make useful adjustments in our relationships. This personal effort may involve challenging moments, but we will ultimately feel more comfortable with our loved ones.
The atmosphere is particularly friendly as Venus in Gemini and retrograde Mercury in Leo form a sextile, making interactions more pleasant and tolerant, even if feelings aren't necessarily reciprocated. Mars in Virgo brings attention to detail. A significant aspect during this period is Uranus entering Gemini. Innovations, discoveries, and communication will expand. We will witness unexpected changes in new technologies, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, and a media frenzy. The key word for this configuration is adaptation.
In favorable aspect with Saturn, this period of upheaval is managed, controlled, and structured. Therefore, we can await, with curiosity rather than impatience, what society and scientists might offer us.
With Saturn and Mercury retrograde, things take time. Rushing is not advisable and can only lead to errors, missteps, or conflicts with authority. This is a time for assessment rather than new projects, for finishing touches rather than new beginnings. Slow-moving planets form beautiful aspects among themselves, linking harmoniously and supporting each other, which bodes well for a more serene, balanced, and fulfilling period for all.
However, Pluto opposes this new moon, and Mars squares Venus. Pluto does not tolerate superficiality and forces us to honestly examine our growth. Emotions and feelings are deep, prompting serious introspection and the need to recognize fundamental truths, new perspectives, and an open mind. It is through others that we will catalyze this transformative power represented by Pluto. It is for them, through them, and with them that we will change our lives. Our will dominates, but we must desire it and defend it.
June 25: New Moon in Cancer
New Moon Ritual: At the time of the new moon, an energy of renewal takes place. Sit in a quiet place and be relaxed: choose a clear intention, start your request with thank you and write your wish as if it had already been fulfilled. Discover our article for Abundance Check.
During this phase, we become more receptive and sensitive to our surroundings. Our heightened sensitivity encourages us to be compassionate and protective. The sense of family is exalted, which might, for some, interfere with their love life.
The sky during this new moon is a bit less favorable than last month. Five planets have changed signs: Venus has moved into Taurus, Mercury into Cancer, along with Jupiter. Mars has entered Virgo, and naturally, the Sun has shifted into Cancer with the summer solstice.
The Sun, Moon, and Jupiter are closely conjunct at the beginning of Cancer. This combination of energies provides a significant boost where emotions are amplified (especially since the Moon is in its domicile), feelings are heightened, and everything takes on extraordinary importance, including our personalities.
For the better: Mars forms a sextile, adding goodwill, a desire to do things well, and concern for others.
For the worse: There’s a double square to Saturn and Neptune, leading to errors, confusion, rigidity, and considerable fatigue.
Fortunately, Mercury is well-positioned to keep us grounded if we rely on our intellect rather than our often misleading impressions. Supported by the same Saturn and Neptune, Mercury structures our intellect while opening up horizons and encouraging spirituality. Additionally, the sextile to Uranus brings sudden and brilliant ideas to exploit to the fullest, provided we trust ourselves.
Venus is approaching Uranus, both in Taurus, enhancing sensuality. However, the square to Mars can create discord in relationships by separating emotions from physical desire, especially in new relationships. So, in the case of a promising encounter, it’s wise to take the time to get to know the other person before committing. For couples, Uranus brings fun and surprises, making it a perfect time to surprise your partner, rekindle passion, or perhaps enjoy a romantic getaway together.
The overall atmosphere during this new moon is very family-oriented. Extend invitations that include all generations, and you’re sure to enjoy warm, fulfilling moments.
May 27th: New Moon in Gemini
This configuration creates a lively and chatty atmosphere, full of intersecting energies. Adaptability and sociability encourage good, numerous but light exchanges. This is not the time to address contentious issues or spark controversies.
Venus has entered Aries, Mercury has moved from Taurus to Gemini, the Sun is now in Gemini, and Saturn has left Pisces for Aries. The celestial scene has significantly shifted in recent weeks!
This New Moon in Gemini is particularly well-supported with the Sun, of course, but also Venus and the close presence of Uranus, which is just a few degrees away at the end of Taurus. This cluster, in a quadruple trine with Pluto, offers all the hope for the world to change, transform, and flourish in a more harmonious and humane environment.
This quartet also acts as a bridge for Neptune and Saturn, which have recently entered Aries. Fire and air mix harmoniously, igniting a beautiful burst of ideas, projects, decisions, and above all, new beginnings. However, this configuration also brings a lot of agitation and nervousness, so it’s essential to control our emotions, feelings, desires, and actions to avoid detrimental excesses to the personal and collective progress being offered to us.
All the planets are either in fire or air signs, except for Uranus, which finishes its journey in Taurus, providing just enough earth to bring a bit of realism to all this excitement. Water is entirely absent, so emotions are governed by intellect and action. Strong wills prevail, but we must be careful not to hurt our loved ones with sharp or ironic remarks. Similarly, while Mars in Leo represents a huge potential for significant achievements, we must avoid the sin of pride and overly authoritative behavior.
Overall, the sky of this May New Moon is particularly rich in opportunities for everyone: emotions filtered through reason, spontaneous and powerful feelings, rewarding activities, more benevolent authorities, and immense creativity. The only real pitfall is a tendency to dream too high, act too radically, or resist (unnecessarily) inevitable rules. This sky invites us to rebirth and fraternity; let’s heed its call!
April 27th: New Moon in Taurus
The New Moon in Taurus brings a stable and industrious atmosphere. This configuration makes us creative but stubborn. However, this strong determination inspires us to give our best. It’s a great day to bring professional or romantic projects to fruition.
This New Moon is a bit tense, with a square to Mars and Pluto. Emotions are heightened, reactions are excessive, and we need to channel tensions into intense activities without taking reckless risks. Our energy temporarily escapes our control, which can lead to conflicts, radical decisions, and anxiety.
Since the last New Moon, things have changed: Mercury has entered Aries, and aided by Mars, it provides strong mental energy that easily and quickly translates into tangible achievements.
Venus has resumed its direct motion in Pisces and is now in conjunction with Saturn and Neptune in the last degrees of this dreamy sign. Venus also receives excellent influences from Mars and Uranus. Meetings are full of promise; singles have every chance to find their soulmate, and couples bring a touch of fantasy into their daily lives. It’s a wonderful period of complicity and solidarity.
Mars traverses the first degrees of Leo, opening a period of great creativity that should support artists and lovers alike. Not without friction, as the Sun in Taurus forms a square with Mars: wills clash, power struggles may arise, and Mars’s opposition to Pluto only strengthens this sometimes excessive determination. We should thus channel this dynamism into creativity rather than constant conflict.
However, Mars is supported by Saturn and Neptune, providing stability and a promise of durability in all activities. A sorting process takes place between what is outdated and needs to be discarded and what new developments should be cherished and preserved.
In the coming days, Venus will enter Aries, igniting passions, and Pluto will begin retrograding at the start of Aquarius, forcing us to reconsider our fundamentals.
Definition of the New Moon:
The moon cycle lasts about 29 days. Starting with the new moon, we see the moon grow over 14 days until it becomes full, then it wanes back down to the next new moon.
During the new moon, the night’s star is invisible, hidden in the Earth’s shadow. It can’t be observed because it is completely dark.
The new moon marks a fresh start, a moment in life when we begin something, launch a project, or even conceive a child, often unconsciously. It’s the time of the month when we are most likely to succeed in our goals.
The new moon is linked to relationships and brings strong vitality, impulsiveness, and sensitivity.
People born under a new moon have powerful energy and spontaneous drive, but this alignment of the luminaries can also bring confusion and subjectivity due to heightened sensitivity.
