Why begin at the New Moon
At the New Moon the Sun and Moon meet in the same sign, and the Moon is dark. Over the next two weeks she grows toward full, and the tradition reads that growth as momentum: what you start now has the whole waxing half of the month behind it. This is why electional astrology, the art of choosing a good moment, so often prefers a waxing Moon for anything you want to grow.
A New Moon is a seed, not a guarantee. Name one thing you want to become true in the month ahead, take the first concrete step toward it within a day or two, and check in at the Full Moon two weeks later to see what has come to light. For the strongest single days to begin a specific thing, the best-dates guides go further.
