In the sky
A few days after New Moon a thin crescent appears low in the west after sunset, lit on the right (from the Northern Hemisphere). Faint earthshine often lights the rest of the disc.
The energy of this phase
This is the phase of momentum and gentle courage. Ideas set at the New Moon start to feel real, along with doubts about whether they can work.
Working with it
- Take the first concrete step toward your intention, however small.
- Notice resistance or self-doubt and write it down without judging it.
- Gather what you need: information, tools, support.
