The first light. Act on what you planted.

This Phase

The sliver of light appearing after the new moon is the signal to move. The intention you set in the dark is now asking for action. This is not a time for more planning or more preparation — the preparation is complete. Waxing crescent energy calls for the first concrete step, however small, in the direction of what you declared at the new moon. The momentum you build now carries forward through the whole first half of the cycle.

Current Energy

Initiating, forward-moving, lightly tentative. Resistance may arise at the first step — that is normal. Move through it rather than interpreting it as a sign to stop.
