The Effects Of The New Moon

Tomorrow is the night of the new moon. Traditionally called the Dark Moon. This happens once a month when the moon and the sun both occupy the same zodiac sign. The sun lights up the back of the moon so down here on earth for that one night we can't see the moon. The dark moon is often associated with the Dark Goddesses Lilith and Hecate. Despite the name and the word dark these Goddesses are not evil beings.

The new moon as well as the full moon can affect our emotions and thoughts. During the new moon it is very common to feel low, depressed, lacking energy and literally feeling as if your get up and go has got up and gone. These are all common feelings for people who are moon sensitive. Once the new moon has passed your mood will improve as the moon progresses. By day 3 you should be feeling much better. If you feel the effects very severely then it is a good idea to carry a piece of moonstone in your pocket or wear some moonstone jewellery. It will work even better if it has been charged by the last full moon, which will be explained here closer to the next full moon.

If you're one of these people which the moon doesn't affect in such ways then use the night of the new moon to plan new projects, look for a new job or just gain some inspiration.  You can then take these ideas and new projects and work on them throughout the waxing cycle of the moon and by the time the full moon comes around they should be progressing very well. 

If you're unsure if the moon is responsible for your moods then a good idea is to keep a moon diary. Every night just before bed write down the current moon phase, the date and how you've felt that day. Do that for around three months then look back and see if you notice any patterns.The moon can affect men just as much as it can affect women.
