The spread

  1. The waning First Quarter Friction, decision, and the need to pick a side of yourself. What to avoid: Treating a normal obstacle as a sign to stop.
  2. The present night Waning Gibbous Sharing and digestion. Say the thing while you still mean it. What to avoid: Over-explaining to people who already understood.
  3. The returning light Waxing Crescent Momentum that is real and easily broken. Protect it with routine. What to avoid: Telling everyone before the habit exists.
