The new moon in Scorpio in tradition
A water sign of depth, Scorpio ties the new moon to what is hidden: a secret, a debt, a grudge, shared resources.
Tradition would place intentions of starting over, letting go, and speaking the truth here. The trap would be stirring up the past endlessly, or seeking control where trust is called for.
Almost every culture has made this moonless night a threshold. The Chinese calendar starts the month with it, as did the old Hebrew calendar; the Romans announced its arrival on the calends. Modern astrology draws a simple image from it: the buried seed, which has not yet shown anything. The new moon would then be the moment to put into words what you would like to see ripen over the month, to tidy up, to lay a first stone. The sign it occupies, the same as the Sun’s, would give this intention its color: material matters in Taurus, speech in Gemini, home in Cancer. Some people turn it into a writing ritual; others simply use it as a marker for taking stock. None of this rests on proof; it is a way of giving time a rhythm, which each person can keep or leave.

How is it calculated?
The moment the Moon joins the Sun in longitude (0°), calculated to the second by the site’s engine.
What happens in the sky
A new moon is a conjunction: seen from Earth, the Moon joins the Sun in the same sign and at the same degree, give or take a few degrees of latitude. It rises and sets with the Sun, lost in its glare, and the half of its surface lit by the Sun stays turned toward space. So you cannot see it, unless it passes exactly in front of the solar disk, which causes an eclipse. The exact moment is that of the conjunction in longitude, given here to the minute in Paris time; the crescent only becomes visible the next day or the day after, in the evening glow, low in the west. Because the Moon’s path is not circular, the interval between two new moons varies by a few hours around twenty-nine and a half days, and sometimes two of them fall in the same calendar month.
