With the Solar Eclipse and New Moon together on April 8, 2024, I put together a little worksheet to form intentions and then check-in when the Full Moon hits in two weeks. I oftentimes wish I had a little reminder of the important pieces to remember when contemplating the New Moon. Perhaps it will be helpful for you, too. Here’s a printable version.
New Moon Date:
Reflection
Ground with this sound exercise: https://www.facebook.com/reel/995414152021623?fs=e&mibextid=HhIJCe&fs=e&s=TIeQ9V
- What areas of my life feel stagnant or unfulfilled?
- What have I been wanting to call into my life but haven’t yet?
- Are there any habits or patterns I’d like to break or establish?
- With index finger at right temple, what does Spirit have to say on this?
Intentions:
- What is the astrological sign associated with the new moon for focus points?
- What feels most important for me to focus on in the coming lunar cycle? (e.g. creativity, abundance, self-love)
- With right index finger on your temple have Spirit formulate a clear and concise statement about this intention to repeat daily. (e.g. “You are open to new opportunities for creative expression” or “You are worthy of love and belonging”)
- Does this intention feel exciting and motivating?
Action & Accountability:
- What small, actionable steps can I take towards this intention in the coming weeks?
- How can I hold myself accountable for following through on these actions?
- Who or what can support me in achieving this intention?

Progress & Release:
- Reflecting on your new moon intentions, what progress have you made towards them?
- What wins (big or small) do you have to celebrate?
- Were there any challenges or obstacles that came up in pursuing your intentions?
- How can you use this full moon to release any negativity or limiting beliefs associated with those challenges?
- With index finger at right temple, what does Spirit have to say on this?
Re-evaluation & Refinement:
- Revisit the statements you wrote for your new moon intentions above. Do they still resonate with you, or have your priorities shifted slightly?
- This full moon is a great time to refine your intentions if needed. What is the biggest shift?
- Thinking back to the action steps you planned during the new moon, were they effective?
- Did anything unexpected come up that requires adjustments to your approach?
- With index finger at right temple, what does Spirit have to say on this?
Integration & Moving Forward:
- How can you integrate the lessons learned and progress made during this lunar cycle into the next one?
- Considering your new moon intentions, does the full moon inspire any creative insights or next steps for continuing your journey?
Remember:
The full moon isn’t about starting something completely new, but rather releasing what no longer serves you and solidifying the foundation you laid during the new moon.
If you haven’t made as much progress as you’d hoped, don’t be discouraged! Use the full moon as a chance to re-energize and course-correct. The lunar cycle is a continuous journey.
PS.
Check-in: If you set seasonal intentions around the last Sabbat, how are those intentions shaping up? This could be a great little reminder to revisit them.
