What is the difference between a new moon and a full moon in astrology?
The new moon is a time of beginnings, quiet and setting intentions, and the full moon is a time of culmination, visibility and letting go. Together they form a two-week rhythm you can use for planning and reflection.
Answered by SimplyAstro. Astrology is a symbolic tradition offered for reflection and entertainment; it is not medical, legal or financial advice.
