A Guide to Tracking Planetary Cycles

Planets don't move at a constant pace — during some periods they appear to move backward (retrograde), while the Moon's cycle offers a natural rhythm between new beginnings and completions. Tracking these cycles can act as a gentle compass for knowing when to slow down and when to act.

In this guide, without needing a calendar app or specialized knowledge, you'll find a simple way to hold a short intention or gratitude practice on new moon and full moon days. The goal isn't perfect timing, but a sense of harmony between your own rhythm and the sky's.
