When you look up at the night sky, sometimes the moon is a full, bright circle. But other times, it's completely dark! That's what we call the new moon in English. In Japanese, we say 新月 (しんげつ - shingetsu). It's when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, so the side facing us isn't lit up. It's a really interesting part of the moon's cycle.
The term 新月 (しんげつ - shingetsu) directly translates to "new moon." In astronomy, it refers to the first phase of the lunar cycle, when the Moon is not visible from Earth. This is because the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, and its illuminated side is facing away from us.
Culturally, the new moon often symbolizes new beginnings, fresh starts, and opportunities for growth. It's a time when many people set intentions or embark on new projects, much like a blank slate.
