Thirteen times a year the sun and moon line up at the new moon in the same astrological sign. Since this timing involves both the major forces that affect Earth, each new moon gives you special, potent archetypal energy to boost your creations.

At the new moon you want to plant and energise the seeds of creation that you want to grow during the expanding moon phase. Between the new moon and the full moon, a two-week period of growth and outer-focused energy occurs.

It is important to work with anything you want to increase during this time. The element that the new moon resides in gives you key information as to what energy that moon brings for your creations.
