  2. The present night New Moon A blank page and a low battery at the same time. Begin small. What to avoid: Starting five things because everything looks possible.
  3. The returning light Waning Gibbous Sharing and digestion. Say the thing while you still mean it. What to avoid: Over-explaining to people who already understood.
