New Moon Meaning
Sun conjunct Moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28-day cycle. It gives an invigorating burst of energy and initiative. But it also brings emotional balance, not irrationally emotional, and not too cold and calculating.
So this is an excellent time for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress.
New Moon Aspects
New Moon sextile Neptune heightens your sensitivity, intuition, imagination, and creativity. Increased psychic awareness may give you valuable insights about yourself, the people around you, and even about the future. So this is an excellent time to visualize or dream up your ideal future. Make new goals now to turn your dreams into reality.
This is also an ideal time to express your more caring and charitable and idealistic side by serving others. You could join an environmental or human rights group. By doing so you will feel a boost to your self-esteem and personal satisfaction.
Greater empathy and receptivity by both you and others means that all of your relationships will benefit from a shared understanding that may be non-verbal. Vivid dreaming, occult and mystical work, astrology, and religion can all be used to increase your level of self-understanding. You can enjoy a greater feeling of connectedness with other people and the entire universe.
Other Aspects
Mercury trine Saturn brings serious fame of mind with good concentration and attention to detail. You will get things done neatly, without mistakes, and on time. So this is a good new moon for study, making important decisions, and for serious discussions, negotiations, and business dealings.
With common sense and an eye toward practical results, new moon May 2021 is also good for making long-term plans and signing contracts. You can also be confident about making commitments to others. New friendships and partnerships should be lasting and dependable.
Mars sextile Uranus is perfect for making changes in your life because they will happen quickly and fairly smoothly. The extra initiative, inspiration, and motivation are ideal for making a start on difficult tasks or things you have put off.
You will also have the daring and sex appeal to make the first move with someone special. Trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to take a risk. Fortune favors the brave.

This means it is best to put your new moon plans into action in the coming two weeks. It also means you should look back to the beginning of this eclipse phase to see how this new moon fits into your long-term goals:
- The November 2020 lunar eclipse created tension, anxiety, uncertainty, and insecurity. But with flexibility, you can adapt to changing conditions and take advantage of opportunities to improve your love life and your finances.
- The December 2020 solar eclipse gave the energy and initiative to set new goals and act on your plans with confidence. However, you must protect against confusion and deception, and the risk of infection from the pandemic.
