Using the Moon to set goals
I have been using the moon to set my goals and intentions for over 2 years. Some things I have made progress on, like completing my AAT studies, and some things I am still working on, mostly my health and fitness goals.
Each lunar cycle (from New Moon to New Moon) lasts for around 29 days, roughly 4 weeks. And each of these lunar cycles are part of a bigger lunar cycle which runs from the New Moon to the Full Moon in the same sign, around 6 months.
We can split each of these lunar cycles into two halves of around two weeks. The Waxing Half which runs from New Moon to Full Moon, and the Waning Half, which runs from Full Moon to New Moon. During the waxing half, we want to add things into our lives. And during the waning half, we want to remove things to create space for the new things we want to add.
If you think about a bookcase, there is only so much space there for books. Eventually, if you want new books then you will have to remove some of the old books to create space. It’s the same thing we think about when adding and removing items from our lives. You only have so much space and time for all the things you want to have and do.
Let's look at each of the eight phases of the moon and how that can guide our goal setting.
And then we have the New Moon and it all starts again!!
I hope you have found this week’s blog helpful and if you start to set your goals with the New Moon then I would love to hear how you get on!!
