Craft your self-care routine around setting intentions for the month ahead you can do this with our manifest with the moon online community. Take some quiet time for reflection, journaling, or meditation to clarify your goals and desires. Consider starting a new self-care practice or ritual that aligns with your intentions for the coming lunar cycle.

As the moon begins to wax, it's a time for nurturing the seeds of intention planted during the new moon. Focus on self-care activities that support growth and expansion. Engage in activities that nourish your body, mind, and spirit, such as gentle yoga, creative expression, or spending time in nature. Take practical steps towards manifesting your intentions and goals.
