How to use this month's moon

New Moon in Aries (April 6). 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 Scorpio (April 20). Time to review what you need to release: a grudge, a secret worry, or a commitment you have quietly outgrown.

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.
