The Moon-phase reflection card

One cycle, four turns. Four prompts small enough to answer in a notebook on the way to somewhere else.

✦

New Moon name an intention small enough to begin.

First Quarter meet the first useful resistance.

Full Moon notice what is visible, complete or overfull.

Last Quarter edit, redistribute and let something finish.

A phase is a rhythm, not an instruction. Ask what is actually happening in your life before assigning it meaning.

This cycle

Four short entries

● New Moon — the intention

Date

Sign and degree

Which house of my chart

Small enough to begin means small enough to start this week without rearranging your life.

◑ First Quarter — the first resistance

What got in the way, and is it an obstacle or information?

○ Full Moon — what became visible

Complete, overfull, or simply obvious in a way it was not two weeks ago.

◐ Last Quarter — what finishes

Edit and redistribute. Something is allowed to end without becoming a failure.

The year

A running record

Twelve or thirteen lunations a year. Kept for a few months, this column becomes far more useful than any single entry — you start to see which intentions you keep setting and never begin.

Lunation dates and signs come from the Moon page on this site, calculated for your timezone — not from memory or a rounded almanac.
