What is a new moon again?
We use the term new moon to describe the darkest phase of the moon, which occurs whenever the moon is between the earth and the sun. In this configuration, the moon reflects sunlight directly back to the sun, while on Earth we see its unlit side. So we can hardly see it in the night sky with the naked eye. Just like between other moon phases of the same kind, there are around 29.5 days between two new moons.
About twice a year, in the new moon phase, the moon intersects the earth’s orbit around the sun, then obscures the sun – sometimes completely, but usually only partially – and we experience a solar eclipse – sometimes total, but usually only partial. Although we can only observe them under certain conditions, some people can feel an eclipse even if they don’t see it.
In principle, the new moon phase can promote growth and healing processes, and according to the astrologer it is also suitable for tackling changes and new projects and plans. The new moon on August 16 reaches its peak in the morning at 11:38 a.m. our time, so we mainly experience the night to Wednesday and the night to Thursday as new moon nights, i.e. as almost moonless nights. Since the moon is in the zodiac sign Leo during its new moon phase, it is shaped by the energy of the fire sign and passes it on to us: It is now easier for us to make confident, courageous decisions, we feel our needs more clearly than usual and have them don’t be afraid to do them justice. Due to the descending movement that the moon performs at the new moon, it also has a calming power that calls for pause.
According to the horoscope, the Leo new moon can have a particularly positive effect on the following zodiac signs.
