The New Moon represents the beginning of the waxing cycle, a time to perform rituals of increase. Each month's new moon falls in one of the twelve houses. The domain of the house where the new moon falls is the major focus of that month's waxing cycle. Rituals perfomed during a waxing cycle are at their most potent.

As an example, a love spell performed during the waxing cycle while the new moon is in the seventh house [relationships, partnerships] is the most powerful time all year to perform the spell and manifest your goals.

That is why it is so important to know where the new moon falls in your personal natal chart every month and time your rituals to coincide with houses that are meaningful to your personal goals.
