THE NEW MOON:    Hidden from view in the darkness of the night sky, the New Moon marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, symbolizing fresh beginnings and infinite possibilities. With its sunlit side facing away from Earth, the New Moon invites us to turn inward and set intentions for the future. In Chinese mythology, the New Moon was associated with the goddess Chang'e, who swallowed the elixir of immortality and ascended to the moon, where she resides to this day as a symbol of hope and renewal. It's a time to plant seeds of intention, to dream big and envision the life we desire, and to trust in the magic of new beginnings.
