Traditionally, the new moon is the start of the lunar cycle — a blank slate, the fertile soil, the “void” where intention is planted.
It’s the moment energetically aligned with:
✨ New beginnings
✨ Fresh intentions
✨ Setting goals
✨ Planting seeds
✨ Calling in new opportunities, relationships, habits, or upgrades
Think of it as the inhale before creation — quiet, spacious, open, receptive.

🌘 Can the New Moon Also Be Used to Release?
Yes… but with a nuance.
The full moon is the classic time for big release. However, the new moon can absolutely support micro-releases — the kind that create space for what you want to call in.
It’s not the ideal time for heavy purging, but it is a perfect time for:
🌬️ Releasing old intentions that no longer fit
🧹 Letting go of outdated identities
✨ Clearing away the last bits of an energetic cycle
🔄 Saying “I’m done with this… and ready for something better”
In other words:
The new moon can help you release anything that stands in the way of your new beginning.
A great way to think of it:
Full Moon = letting go of what has built up
New Moon = letting go of what no longer aligns
Subtle difference — but energetically powerful.
