Today is a New Moon and its time to set our goals for the lunar month. So lets go ahead and start with our new moon beginnings. I really enjoyed creating the space for journaling last week and making it special, so today I’m going to do the same. So grab some tea and light a candle with me as we do some goal setting.
This month I’m using The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Guidebook and Deck. This layout is from my May Monthly Plan With Me. I like to start by shuffling the deck 3 times or whatever feels good, and then I cut the deck. This month for my journaling prompts I’ll be focusing on:
to have
to do
to be
I like to write down any notes that jump out at me from the guidebooks as I journal. For to have, I have the lizard, to do, the fox, and to be, the bat. I’ll be thinking about my notes as I work on the opposite page where I figure out my challenges, goals, and how I’m going to accomplish them.
This month’s lunar theme is:
reorient & renew
My intention for this cycle is:
“to re-up my goals, focus on connection, & tune into my intuition.”

Either by the moon or in the morning of each new lunar phase, I set a positive feeling based intention for each of the eight lunar phases. For this new moon I wrote:
“I set my intention to re-up my goals, focus on connection, & tune into my intention. I feel my intention in my body.”

Then at the beginning of each moon phase for this cycle I will come back to this spread and write a new positive feeling based intention. I’ll be posting these little mini moon updates over on Instagram, so be sure to follow me there so you don’t miss them!
On the final Crescent Moon of the lunar cycle I do a Lunar Review of the entire month tracking my journey back to the new moon. First I think about what worked, what didn’t, and what I can improve. Then I reflect on the biggest wins of the lunar month.
This journaling and goal setting practice is something that I do the night before every new moon or the morning of every new moon. This practice of short term, achievable goal setting via the lunar cycle, has grown really dear to my heart. It’s something that I can’t imagine not doing.
Using tarot cards in this way gives me a new lens in which to look at my life. It’s also given me a lot of inspiration and closure by looking at my life through a different perspective. This practice has also helped me hone my focusing skills and has enabled me to quit second guessing myself. With this practical tarot new moon journaling prompt, I look forward to each lunar cycle and the start of a new chance to achieve my goals.
Now that we have completed this Monthly Lunar Goal Setting session, we can go ahead and bring our 5th Moon Practice to a close.
