How to use this month's moon
New Moon in Pisces (March 19). A good checkpoint for rest, creativity and intuition. Start a low-pressure creative habit, or protect one evening a week for quiet.
Full Moon in Virgo (March 3). Time to review perfectionism. Review which standards are helping you and which are only slowing you down.
Using the lunar cycle as a planning rhythm gives you a natural reset roughly every two weeks: set intentions at the new moon, check progress at the full moon. More in the new moon routine and the full moon reset.
