When are the 2025 new moons and what do they mean? How can these new moons help you ignite your intentions all year long? **All about the 2025 new moons, partially excerpted from The AstroTwins’ 2025 Horoscope book, the annual astrology go-to guide to the stars**.

The 2025 New Moons Mark Fresh Beginnings

New moons are monthly cosmic resets and are the optimal time to kick off any new project or plan. Lay the groundwork for what you want to manifest in the coming six months leading up to the corresponding full moon. Set intentions or initiate action while you have this lunar lift creating momentum.

Following moon cycles is a great way to set goals and reap their benefits. Astrologers believe that our energy awakens at the new moon, then peaks two weeks later at the full moon. By tracking the moon, we can tap into our intuition, setting goals that match our energy levels best throughout the month.

More about New Moons in astrology

Because new moons reset the monthly lunar cycle, astrologers treat these occurrences as ultra powerful moments to set intentions, start fresh and begin projects anew. The sky is dark, offering a blank canvas for creation during these tuned-in lunar lifts.

Be patient with the process! You may not see results until the corresponding full moon which occurs six months later in the same zodiac sign. But since the “ground” is especially fertile during new moons the seeds you plant on the days of new moons bring greater promise of producing a bumper crops. Two weeks after each new moon comes a full moon (in a different zodiac sign). Early sprouts may already pop up through the metaphoric soil by then.

New Moons in astronomy terms

A new moon phase occurs when the Sun and the moon are at the same longitude on the ecliptic—the plane created by the Earth’s orbit around the Sun.

What does a New Moon look like in the sky?

The new moon is the first of eight monthly moon phases which occur in a 29.5-day lunar month.

Is your moon sign important at a New Moon?

Your moon sign refers to the zodiac sign that the moon was traveling through at your moment of birth. If someone was to look up at the sky when you were born, or the piece of the sky that we measure from our view on Earth.

Your moon sign is a part of your birth chart (or natal chart). You can find your moon sign by entering your time, date and place of birth into our Moon Sign Calculator.
