During the new moon, the recurring theme of starting over is unavoidable. After all, this lunar phase not only marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, but it is also the only time when the sun and moon align on the same degree of a zodiac sign.
Whether or not you’re aware of the significance of the new moon, its mystical symbolism and potency should not be overlooked. The moon, as you know, represents your deepest feelings and emotional foundations, whereas the sun represents everything from your ego to your physical identity and soul purpose on the planet. Needless to say, anything is possible when both of these ever-glowing luminaries come together.
