How to use this month's moon
New Moon in Aries (April 17). A good checkpoint for starting the thing you keep postponing. Pick one task and do the first 15 minutes of it today.
Full Moon in Libra (April 2). Time to review give and take. Look at where a relationship or commitment has tipped out of balance.
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.
