New Moon Guide · 2026

Set your year's intentions, new moon by new moon.

A new moon begins each lunar month — the best moment to set intentions. The classic practice: within 8 hours of the exact new moon (no later than 48), handwrite up to 10 wishes, phrased in the positive and the present tense, aligned with that sign's themes.

① Handwrite, up to 10
② Positive, present tense
③ Aligned with the sign
④ Not on an eclipse

Eclipse new moons carry unstable energy — tradition says observe rather than wish. Times shown in US Pacific; please verify exact times against a professional ephemeris. For reference & fun only.
