I’m a big fan of setting and reviewing goals regularly – one great opportunity to help you and keep you on schedule is using the new moon to set intentions and goals – and use the full moon to celebrate and reflect.

I personally love following the moon and seasonal cycles, even if I don’t always get to everything spiritual I may want in a month, following with these trends really makes me feel more grounded and connected with nature. Which is my personal spirit goal, living more in tune around me. I love living somewhere that experiences full seasons and I can really take advantage of that.

There are many witchy resources, but you will find corespondents for the moon that offer more detail corespondents so this is keeping it pretty simple, new more new goals, full moon reap what you sow. There are specific practices you can use on each phase, all the way through if you are interested in learning more. I’d be open to seeing other resources people enjoy, many of mine are old or just Tumblr in general lol I am indeed an elder millennial.

Anyway, here we are focusing on the new moon here – and specifically around some lovely journal prompts you can use to help you gain clarity leading up to the new moon 🌑 to help you set goals.
