🌙 Waning Crescent Moon in Capricorn (~40% illuminated)
The moon reaches its Waning Crescent phase today—a time of rest, release, and inner work. This is the final stretch before the New Moon, when we tie up emotional loose ends and prepare our intentions for the next cycle. The moon's ingress into Capricorn brings a shift from Sagittarius's expansive optimism to Capricorn's grounded, achievement-oriented energy.

Sun in Pisces — The dreamy, intuitive Pisces season continues. Trust your gut feelings over analytical thinking today.
