What Do New Moons Mean in Astrology?
Just like a new moon signals the start of a fresh moon phase, new moons are often associated with new beginnings in astrology. According to astrologers, these periods of lunar darkness are a surprisingly good time to manifest and set new intentions for themes you'd like to see materialize over the following few weeks. Depending on the zodiac sign in which the new moon falls, you may feel the characteristics and energies associated with that zodiac sign influence your emotions and intentions, too.
What Do Full Moons Mean in Astrology?
If new moons are the start of new chapters, full moons are their ends in astrology. Thinking in terms of the moon's light, a moon at full brightness illuminates the full picture, giving you the clarity - and sometimes the closure - you need as a cycle either comes to fruition or ends. Because full moons are generally intense, they offer a good time to pause on significant new beginnings and, instead, sit back, reflect on what you've learned and accomplished since the new moon, and reap what has come to you as a result.
What Do Eclipses Mean in Astrology?
Beautiful events to marvel at in the sky, eclipses can be a bit tricky to navigate in astrology. Each typically occurring a couple times a year, solar and lunar eclipses can be a little chaotic, heightening the energies of new moons and full moons, respectively, and introducing some major shakeups you might not have seen coming. Solar eclipses fall on new moons, and while you might flirt with a new beginning during a new moon, it "tends to spur stunning shifts and major course changes that can promote growth," writes astrologer Maressa Brown in a previous PS article.
On the flip side, lunar eclipses occur during full moons, potentially bringing chapters that weren't benefitting you to an abrupt end, and such chaos can easily drudge up difficult emotions or complicated feelings to deal with. Rather than charging ahead with reckless abandon during eclipses, it may be best to take a step back and let the universe steer you where you need to go. Afterward, when the moon returns to its normal cycles, you'll gain a clearer picture of what to do with the events, themes, and feelings an eclipse uncovered.
