Waning crescent in Leo
18% lit · 23.8° Leo · next new moon: October 10 at 11:50 AM ET
The last sliver. Rest is not optional.
The Moon is almost gone and the frog is almost asleep. The days before a New Moon are for tying off, not starting. Sleep more. Say less. What you do not finish now, you were not meant to.
The Moon in Leo wants an audience. Generous, warm, slightly theatrical. Good for celebrations, bad for criticism.
