We have all been there – full of excitement on a rooftop party somewhere and yelling our New Year’s resolutions from the top of our lungs out to everyone to hear. But falling short so soon after the promises have been made in front of everyone. Or even waking up the next day and all of them becoming a distant memory… In some cases, putting in the effort for a week or so, and then giving up because there is no time, no energy, or something else distracts us from it. If You fall into those camps, don’t worry. It’s not entirely Your fault. You just weren’t following the natural cycles of nature and WERE following the modern made-up “cycles”. So why do Your New Year’s resolutions often fail?
And what are these “natural cycles” that I’m talking about?

The natural cycles of the Moon
The Moon represents our emotions and feelings (among other things), and it also influences the tides of our oceans on planet earth (again, among other things).
If it influences the water in the oceans, and we humans are made of over roughly 60% water – why can’t it influence us directly?
The short answer is – it can, and it does.
The New Moon and The Full Moon
The ancients did everything according to the Moon cycles. From planting crops to conceiving children. Or beginning new things, as well as ending them.
If it was a start or a new beginning – New Moon.
Seeing something to fruition, completing it or even ending it – Full Moon.
We have lost that connection in our modern society. We think we know everything because we can intellectually understand a small percentage of whatever it is that we are investigating.
This is also one of the reasons why Your New Year’s resolutions often fail – You start them at the wrong time.
The right and wrong time to start something new
I want to keep this as simple as possible – the right time to start something new is right after or during the New Moon.
To make it a little bit more technical and precise – the right time to begin something new and specific is when a New Moon is happening in a particular Astrological House in Your natal chart.
And yes – I can make it even more distinct but for the sake of simplicity, I will leave some for us astrologers as well.
Pro Astrologer tip – start new things during or right after the New Moon.
A personal experience with New Year’s resolutions gone wrong
I had done the unthinkable. After losing my physical form a tad, a New Year’s resolution to get back into shape was made. And also failed quite quickly.
A little later I started getting into astrology. The Moon cycles were one of the first things that I really and truly learned.
I saw a video from an astrologer explaining that there’s a New Moon in Virgo coming up. Supposedly a good time to start new exercise routines.
With my failure freshly in the back of my mind, I still decided to give it a go. I just started running during a simple walk in a park.
Got back into shape a month after that! I’m not kidding You. The change was extremely quick. And the way I was able to keep up with my routines daily – blew my mind.
After that – I was sold. Moon cycles for the win!
Where do things go wrong with New Year’s resolutions?
Not many New Moons fall around New Year’s eve – this is the main problem.
That means if You are saving Your big beginnings and bold promises on that specific day – part of failure has already been imprinted on them.
This is one of the biggest problems why people’s New Year’s resolutions often fail. They don’t carry true weight and aren’t aligned with the Moon cycle.
How can we get better results and just enjoy New Year’s eve as is?
- Start with learning about the Moon cycle – like You already did in this article! Great job by the way making it this far.
- Follow the Moon cycle – here is my favourite free tool to do so.
- Test my theory out in the real world.
- I obviously personally know (and so do my clients) that this stuff works but You don’t know yet. So I urge You to conduct an experiment. Follow the guidelines below and take this newly learned wisdom to the streets.
