In spiritual teaching, the new moon is the start of the lunar cycle, when the Moon is dark in the sky. It is a time of new beginnings, quiet reflection and setting intentions for the weeks ahead.
Why It Matters
The new moon is a blank page. Its darkness invites stillness, and many practitioners use it to set intentions, start a journal or plant the seed of a new goal. At Next Level Soul we teach the new moon as the beginning of a two-week building phase that carries into the full moon.
