Moon Phase Dates by Year
What Is a New Moon?
A new moon happens when the Sun and Moon meet at the same point in the zodiac, so the Moon sits between the Earth and the Sun and its lit face is turned away from us. The sky is dark. In astrology this is the start of a fresh lunar cycle, the natural moment to set intentions, begin projects, and plant the seeds you want to grow over the coming month. The sign the new moon falls in shows the area of life ready for a fresh start.
What Is a Full Moon?
A full moon happens when the Sun and Moon sit opposite each other, so the Moon is fully lit from our point of view. It is the peak of the lunar cycle, when whatever began at the new moon comes to a head. Full moons are associated with culmination, heightened emotion, clarity, and release. They are a time to celebrate what has ripened and let go of what is complete. The sign tells you the theme, and the house in your chart tells you where it lands.
How to Use the Lunar Cycle
Many people work with the Moon as a simple rhythm for planning. Use the new moon to begin: set goals, start habits, and open new chapters. Use the days that follow, as the Moon grows, to build and act. Use the full moon to bring things to completion, notice what has come to light, and release what is finished. Then, as the Moon wanes back to dark, rest and clear space before the next new moon begins the cycle again.
