How to use this month's moon
New Moon in Taurus (May 6). A good checkpoint for building one steady habit around comfort, money or your body, such as a fixed bedtime or a weekly budget check.
Full Moon in Scorpio (May 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.
