NEW MOON. The next new moon, placed in the sign of Aries, will occur this Thursday, April 20, 2022. How will it impact the signs of the zodiac?
[Updated April 19, 2023 4:41 PM] This Thursday, April 20, 2023, a New Moon will occur at 6:12:32 a.m. precisely. According to astrologers, it would have a more or less strong effect depending on the astrological sign. And according to some scientific studies, it has an effect on sleep and tides for everyone.
Placed under the sign of Aries on April 20, the new moon would be synonymous with a new beginning for astrologers. It should infuse for the signs of Aries, Leo, Taurus and Cancer, impulse, release and energy. The perfect time for these four astrological signs to embark on a new path or to multiply the challenges.
If the introspection is collective, this April 20 New Moon will have a greater hold on these Sun signs:
On Thursday April 20, 2023 at 6:12:32 precisely, the next new moon will occur. The schedule is established by the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Ephemeris Calculation (IMCCE).
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 the living. 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, its meaning, 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 at the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden between January 2007 and November 2009 found “a lengthening of REM sleep duration by 30 minutes” during the new moon phase. Conversely, during the full moon phase, the study observed “a decrease in sleep time of 25 minutes”, reports the journal Sciences et Avenir.
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.
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 illuminated by the sun at all. 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 identical consecutive phases of the Moon) occurs approximately every 29 days and 12 hours.
