NEW MOON. This Friday, April 1, 2022 in the early morning will be observed a new moon in the sky. According to astrology experts, the astrological signs most favored by this astronomical phenomenon will be Aries, Cancers, Libras and Capricorns. We tell you all about its effects.
[Mis à jour le 28 mars 2022 à 16h41] The next new moon will occur this Friday, April 1, 2022, under the sign of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, associated with the element of Fire and the planet Mars. If the astronomical phenomenon is synonymous with a new lunar cycle, the new moon has a spiritual significance in astrology. Synonymous with a new beginning, the new moon of April 1, 2022 should infuse the signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn with impetus, courage and energy. The perfect time for these four astrological signs to embark on a new path or to multiply the challenges.
Friday April 1 at 8:24 minutes and 25 seconds precisely will occur the next new moon. The schedule is established by the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Ephemeris Calculation (IMCCE).
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,
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.
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.
