The New Moon symbolizes new beginnings and an opportunity to reset, realign, and reconnect. It is a time for visioning and tuning into our inner world. This subtle energy is a portal of manifestation, offering an opportunity to set intentions for our highest good.
The New Moon is also symbolic of the Void - a place of mystery, transformation, and potential. The Void is not an empty vessel but transcends to a space of infinite potential. Old patterns that no longer serve us dissolve and fall away, while new ones take shape. It asks us to trust in the process of surrender and to work within our own shadow.
