The new moon marks the start of the lunar cycle: the best time for intentions, plans, and a fresh start with a clean slate.

The new moon is the beginning of a new lunar cycle, when the Moon is almost invisible in the sky. Traditionally, this is a time for ideas and intentions: it's good for setting goals, planning, starting new things, and "planting seeds" for future endeavors. The energy at this time is rather quiet and inward—perfect for setting a direction for the month ahead.
What people do during the new moon: formulate wishes and goals (many write them down), think through plans, start beneficial habits, and clear mental clutter. However, it's better to hold off on intense activity and finishing major tasks—that's more suited to the waxing and full Moon.
Honest framing: this is a tradition and a pleasant goal-setting ritual, not proven science. Even as a psychological anchor, "starting with the new moon" works—it helps you pull yourself together. Check the moon calendar for the new moon date.
