The New Moon - Classical Doctrine
The New Moon marks the conjunction of the Sun and Moon, the moment when the Moon is rendered invisible, consumed by the Sun's rays and stripped of reflected light. Classical astrologers considered the Moon in this condition to be at its weakest: combust, without influence, and incapable of reflecting the solar light that gives it power.
Combustion and the Dark Moon
When the Moon is within 8 deg of the Sun, classical doctrine holds it to be combust - debilitated by proximity to the solar fire. At the exact New Moon, the Moon is cazimi (within 17 arcminutes), which some classical authors treat as strength rather than weakness. The two conditions bracket the conjunction itself.
Elections and the New Moon
Classical electional doctrine cautions against beginning important matters under a New Moon: the Moon's lack of light suggests hidden impediments, incomplete information, and matters that will not come fully to fruition. Traditional authors often prefer to wait until the Moon is past the Sun and increasing in light before acting.
