How to use this month's moon
New Moon in Virgo (September 11). A good checkpoint for systems and daily routines. Fix one small inefficiency, like a cluttered drawer or a messy calendar.
Full Moon in Aries (September 26). Time to review where impatience cost you. Notice which plans you abandoned too early and which fights were not worth it.
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.
