New Moon - Age 0 to 1 days and the moon is 0-45 degrees directly ahead of the sun - rises at dawn and sets at sunset. Magick should be performed between dawn and sunset. A New Moon's power is embryonic, you can be assured that the power of any spell at this time will continue nto increase in power as time goes on. Working with Sun Goddesses such as Sekhmet, Vesta, & Heartha or the God Ra will increase power. Work for self-improvement, gardening, careers and romance. This is the beginning of a new cycle. Keywords for the New phase: beginning, birth, emergence, projection, and clarity. It is the time in a cycle that you are stimulated to take a new action. During this phase the new cycle is being seeded by your vision, inner and outer. Engage in physical activity. Spend time alone. VISUALIZE your goals for the 29.6 day cycle ahead. Astrologically the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction. Because the Sun's light overpowers the nearby Moon in the day, and the Moon is on the other side of the Earth with the Sun at night she is not visible in the sky at all. The New Moon is like a SEED planted in the earth. We cannot see her but she is ready to grow, full of potential and energy for her new journey. For those who are born during a New Moon phase they are impulsive, passionate and impulsive. They are risk takers and pioneers.
