How to use this month's moon
New Moon in Leo (August 2). A good checkpoint for creative projects and visibility. Start something you would enjoy showing someone, even if it is small.
Full Moon in Aquarius (August 17). Time to review detachment. Notice where you have been thinking about people instead of actually connecting with them.
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.
