Keywords: enthusiasm and passion; the moon is 0- 45 degrees ahead of the sun. When you are born during the new moon, life is always full pelt and steam ahead for those born during this period. On the surface, you can appear cool as a cucumber, but underneath, there is always something going on.
You can be the eternal child seeking play and adventure without thinking of the consequences of your actions;
you often leap feet first, depending on all other aspects in your natal chart, of course. But generally, you’re guided by instinct and not logic, yet you still know what you want, your good at starting but can lack on the follow-through until you stumble upon something or someone you really want. You seek solitude, yet others may seek your company, and because of this, there tends to be a lot of commotion – going on around you. Much to your dismay, depending on other aspects in your natal chart.
You have innate talents, which may elude you and others, which surface only when needed; you like to start new projects, meet new people in your sociable moments, yet can find it hard to end relationships and projects. You are highly intuitive and may make decisions by your gut feelings rather than prolonged, drawn-out thinking, which could land you in hot and tricky waters at times. As you often can agree to things just to please others, you can be easily manipulated and persuaded to go against your own will.
You may take your time to settle down but experience many flings due to a magnetic attraction others have to you, and as you can be easily led.
You can experience and be affected by other peoples upset and woes, so you can retreat into your inner shell or literally run away to regain your own space.
Deep down, you know what you are looking for in a partner and will not settle down with someone for life until you meet that person who matches your inner requirements. In fact, you may never really settle at all as you move from whim to whim.
Natal new moon in summary
Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."
You are born to live in the moment, letting go of the past and to keep moving swiftly on. Unfortunately, you tend to make decisions based on the now rather than your past, so at times you can repeat mistakes.
You like spontaneity and can lack conscious reasoning, and tend to become confused with technical detail; because of this, you may face many challenges, but as you live, for now, you won’t remember your past failings; you love the freedom to explore and be.
In this lifetime, you learn to build your own identity, and your life lessons will help you reach this goal.
You have a magnetic personality, which draws resources to you, your better on the pull rather than the push.
This is a self-centred lifetime for you, but do all you can not harm others by misleading them, be as honest and focus on your personal development.

Especially one who has become stuck in their ways, reincarnation after reincarnation, the natal new moon creates blindness to your own inner world and past experience.
So that you can forge a new identity and create new subconscious urges so that you can move forward with your soul’s progression.
Know everything in life is about energy. Some souls need to be born during a particular moon or planetary transit for a reason; it’s not always to do with actual soul age, but the required lessons needed for the souls/consciousness evolution.
Guard against becoming overly narcissistic, be humble and learn to be your own person without upsetting or being easily led by others.
