New moon intention

Write one clear intention for the coming month and choose its first step.

  • New moon
  • 15 min

Next suitable date

Checking the sky…

What you need

  • A notebook
  • A pen
  • A cup of tea

Steps

  1. 1

    Sit somewhere quiet and take three slow breaths.

  2. 2

    Write the date at the top of a fresh page.

  3. 3

    Write one thing you would like to move toward this month, in a single plain sentence.

  4. 4

    Underneath, write why it matters to you in one or two lines.

  5. 5

    Write the smallest step you could take in the next two days.

  6. 6

    Put a date next to that step so it lives on your calendar and not only on the page.

  7. 7

    Read the sentence once aloud, close the notebook and carry on with your evening.

The moon is a calendar for this ritual. Its effect on mood or luck is not established, but a fixed monthly date makes it easier to come back to your goals.
