NEW MOON. This Saturday, April 30, the effects of the New Moon will be felt depending on your astrological sign. Under the aegis of Taurus, coinciding with a solar eclipse, the new moon reserves many surprises for natives of the same sign and for Pisces, Cancers or Scorpios.
[Mis à jour le 29 avril 2022 à 18h21] This Saturday, April 30 at 10:28 p.m., the second new moon of April 2022 will occur. It should be noted that it is rare for a second new moon to occur in the same calendar month, which is why it is nicknamed “Black moon“, due to its invisibility in the sky from our planet. This new moon will be all the more special because it will coincide with a partial solar eclipse in the South Pole.
Placed under the sign of Taurus, known for its tenacity and pragmatism, this new moon will breathe, according to astrologers, a change of cycle particularly pronounced for certain signs of the zodiac. For everyone, it will cause the well-known effects on the body, namely disturbed sleep, stress or irritability.
During its cycle of approximately 29 days and 12 hours, the moon crosses the wheel of the zodiac, from Aries to Pisces. Every two days, the moon changes constellation and would infuse a different energy depending on the phase of the cycle in which it is. In the new moon phase, according to astrologers, the energy is renewed and differs depending on whether it is in a sign of Fire, Air, Earth or Water.
Under the sign of Taurus, this new moon embodies abundance in the material elements. Thus, if you are Taurus, the astral climate will be much more favorable for you to adapt to changes and take advantage of opportunities to improve your life, especially your finances… As for the water signs, such as Pisces, Scorpios and Cancers, these natives may encounter some tensions.
As Taurus is an Earth sign known for its desire for security, it’s a good time to initiate changes in the area of personal finances and property: it’s a time to invest, increase your income and move towards simple pleasures, in harmony with the body and nature.
Conversely, this new moon of April 30, 2022 can induce fears and blockages in all Water signs. According to the astrologers of Marie France, she should draw a lot of energy from the natives of Pisces, the kings of introspection, also because of the juxtaposition of astronomical events (solar eclipse and new moon energy in Taurus): “the “The energy of the imminent Solar Eclipse of April 2022 being very down to earth, the dissonance created by its two events has something to destabilize their lives” explains Marie France about Pisces. The natives of Scorpio will also be able to face obstacles while the Cancers, could withdraw a little too much under their shell, failing not to see “the wonderful things” happen!
The new moon on Saturday April 30, 2022 will occur precisely at 10:28 p.m. and 6 seconds, the moment when the Earth-Moon-Sun will be perfect. The schedule is established by the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Ephemeris Calculation (IMCCE).
In the new moon phase, the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun. It is therefore not visible from Earth and appears to us in the sky completely black and almost invisible.
What are the effects of the new moon?
If scientists do not validate the theory of the effects of the moon on this or that astrological sign, it would indeed exert a magneto-gravitational influence on living things. What are the effects of the new moon on our body? In our file below, you will know all about the scientifically proven effects of the new moon, the dates and times of the next ones of the year.
What effect does the new moon have on sleep?
If the new moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle, it would also affect our sleep, scientists say. Indeed, a study carried out by researchers from the Sahlgrenska Academy of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden between January 2007 and November 2009 noted “a lengthening of REM sleep duration by 30 minutes” during the new moon phase. Conversely, during the full moon phase, the study observed “a 25-minute decrease in sleep time,” the review reports Science and Future.
What effect does the new moon have on the tides?
The new moon also influences the tides. High tides always occur during syzygy periods, when the moon and the sun are in conjunction (new moon) or in opposition (full moon) in the same axis with the earth.
What is a New Moon?
The new moon, one of the four phases of the moon based on its positioning facing the sun, occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and the sun. Thus, its face visible from the earth is not at all illuminated by the sun. It is then difficult to observe with the naked eye but is an interesting phase for astronomical observation, because the light of the moon interferes with the observation of the sky. The return to this same phase of the moon (synodic period which corresponds to the duration between two consecutive identical phases of the Moon) occurs approximately every 29 days and 12 hours.
