The first quarter moon of May 2025 arrives during a special time of renewal. Spring is in full bloom, and nature is bursting with fresh energy. This moon phase marks the midpoint between planting season and the abundant harvests of summer.

Take a moment to reflect on your progress since the start of spring. What seeds of change have you planted in your life? What fresh starts have taken root? Write down three specific ways you’ve grown or changed since March.

May’s first quarter moon brings a surge of creative energy. The timing is perfect for turning dreams into plans. Think about one goal that fills you with excitement. What small steps could you take this week to move closer to that goal?

This particular first quarter moon falls on a Sunday, traditionally a day of rest and reflection. The weekend timing offers a perfect pause to plan the month ahead. Consider how you might use this natural momentum to push past any obstacles in your path.

Journal Prompts:
